Energy Efficient Heat Pumps
Conserving energy is the right thing to do for our customers and ourselves.
Energy efficient heat pumps. Renewable energy tax credits for fuel cells small wind turbines and geothermal heat pumps now feature a gradual step down in the credit value the same as those for solar energy systems. Some of the highest efficiency air. The tax credits for residential renewable energy products are still available through december 31 2021. 2020 most efficient heat pumps.
Like your refrigerator heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. The most efficient energy star rated heat pumps are 18 to 27 5 seer and 8 5 to 12 5 hspf. 2019 most efficient heat pumps. The demand for electricity is growing and building new power plants is expensive and takes years to complete.
Heat pumps offer an energy efficient alternative to furnace and air conditioner systems. The energy star most efficient 2020 designation recognizes the most efficient products among those that are energy star certified. It has comprehensive information on heat pump performance sizing for your home choosing the right efficiency for your climate and much more. Carrier infinity 24 with greenspeed 25vna4 heat pump.
Carrier was the first to make a variable capacity split system ac the infinity 20 which is still. Seer is cooling efficiency. These exceptional central air conditioners and air source heat pumps represent the leading edge in energy efficient products this year. Hspf is heating efficiency.
High cooling efficiency heat pumps. A geothermal heat pump s cooling efficiency is rated by eer energy efficiency ratio and its heating. The cleanest most efficient power plant is the one we never have to build. Generally speaking models rated at 18 seer and above should be considered highly efficient heat pumps.
Now here are the most efficient split system heat pumps available today. Heating efficiency for air source electric heat pumps is indicated by the heating season performance factor hspf which is the total space heating required during the heating season expressed in btu divided by the total electrical energy consumed by the heat pump system during the same season expressed in watt hours. Because they don t burn fuel run on electricity and don t have to be matched with a separate heating or cooling system heat pumps can be a less expensive option over time. There is one heat pump from each of the major manufacturers except two each from lennox and trane.
