When you’re buying a heat pump system, it's important that homeowners have a decent amount of HVAC IQ. Because heat pump efficiency involves both heating and cooling in a two-in-one system, your knowledge about its efficiency and function is doubly important.
There are four basic heat pump efficiency terms that every homeowner should consider before selecting a new system:
In general, the higher the heat pump efficiency rating, the higher your energy savings will be, and you’ll get a longer-lasting system with components that wear out less quickly. Heat pump efficiency will either make or break not only your energy savings, but your comfort too, as many of the features that increase efficiency ratings also impact how much comfort the system can generate.
