What You Should Know About Buying a New Heat Pump
Recent advances in heat pump technologies have made significant leaps in energy efficiency. At the same time, you now have more choices in the benefits and features when choosing a new heat pump which can be challenging for many homeowners. Looking for a heat pump that will provide cool comfort during the summer months while reducing utility bills can be a solid step in the right direction for property owners across the southeast part of the United States. Here are some of the most important things to look for when choosing your heat pump for installation this year.
Higher SEER Ratings
The experts at ENERGY STAR recommend choosing a heat pump with a high seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) to keep utility bills lower and to promote the highest degree of energy efficiency for your HVAC system this year and every year. Choosing an efficient heat pump with a high SEER rating can help you to enjoy reliable heating and cooling when you need these climate control solutions most.
Variable Speed Motors
The Air Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) recommends choosing heat pumps and air conditioning systems with variable speed motors. These advanced options allow greater flexibility in managing energy use and in controlling temperatures indoors. Because variable speed motors can operate at various percentages of their maximum capacity, these heat pumps can easily adjust to varying outside temperatures and demands for indoor cooling to promote the greatest comfort inside your home or business.
Multi-stage Compressors
Opting for a multi-stage compressor for your HVAC system or heat pump will usually boost indoor comfort for homes and offices. Multi-stage compressors are usually combined with variable-speed air handlers to allow easy adjustment of air flow. This can help families and businesses to manage indoor temperatures in the most energy efficient way even when temperatures soar at the height of summer.
