Substantial energy savings can be obtained from installing an energy efficient heat pump. Before you purchase a new heat pump, ask about the SEER rating. It’s called Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER).  The higher SEER rating an air conditioner has, the more energy-efficient it is. The more cooling/heating a system puts out for each unit of energy it consumes, the higher rating it will receive.

For example, if you upgrade from SEER 9 to SEER 13 (the lowest allowable SEEP for a split-system air source heat pump is currently 13 in the United States), then your energy consumption is reduced by 30%. This can result in an energy savings valued at up to $300 per year, plus the added bonus of reducing your footprint on the Earth!

Systems granted the coveted Energy Star level, the SEER rating has to exceed 14.5. However, for ideal efficiency at an affordable heat pump price, look for ratings between 16-18.

HSFP calculates the ratio of energy pumped indoors for heating to energy used for heating. The minimum HSPF rating for a split-system air-source heat pump is 7.7 in the United States. Energy Star models are at least 8.2.  In Kingsport, we use heating more than cooling, so the HSFP rating is more important than the SEER. Look for a heat pump with an HSFP rating between 8 and 10 for the best local heating cost factor.

The size of a heat pump unit is called a ton. Tonnage is the unit of measure used to describe the conditioning capacity. One ton of cooling is based on the amount of heat needed to melt one ton (2000 lbs.) of ice in a 24 hour period. Since size is so important to optimal operation, our technicians always perform a check called heat-loss-heat-gain before installing or replacing a heating and cooling system.

Cool people, not empty rooms with a programmable thermostat. Set your thermostat higher when no one’s going to be home, and at a more comfortable temperature when everyone is there.  Take control of the temperature and lower your costs with a smart thermostat. Most new thermostats are user friendly, touch screen, and accessible through your smart phone.

Compressor with variable speed operation

Replace your outdated heating and cooling unit for one with variable speed.

Variable speed gives breakthrough energy savings. By varying the speed of the compressor, your heating and cooling system is better able to efficiently heat or cool your home. As a result, your HVAC system operates more efficiently at light loads, while still being capable of delivering full capacity under extreme temperatures. The one you probably own now kicks on full steam ahead to cool your home, then stops completely. Thus, the air remains stagnant in-between the times the heat pump turns on.

With a variable speed compressor, the HVAC unit continuously runs gently while maintaining fresh air and comfortable temperature.
