About Heat Pumps
Because they move heat rather than actually generate heat, these pumps can operate on as little as 25% of the cost of conventional heating or cooling appliances. And if you heat with electricity, as is mostly the case in Seattle, WA, a heat pump can reduce the amount of electricity you use for heating by as much as 30% to 40%.
When selecting a heat pump, it is wise to consult with an HVAC specialist trained in this technology. Generally, you will look for high SEER and HSPF ratings, which means the unit delivers more significant energy savings. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and applies to air conditioning and heating. A higher SEER rating indicates a more efficient system, leading to more significant savings on your electricity bill.
HSPF stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor and refers specifically to air-source heat pumps. It uses a series of calculations based on the amount of heat produced versus the length of time the heater has been in operation. Once again, a higher HSPF means greater energy efficiency.
