Making Sense of Heat Pump Efficiency Ratings

Monday, November 20th, 2023

All HVAC systems come with efficiency ratings. These standardized ratings are designed so that you can make an educated decision about what type of HVAC system to install in your home for heating and cooling. However, most systems are separate. You have an air conditioner and then you have a heater, with each one having its own efficiency rating.

Heat pumps are a little different since they operate as both an air conditioner and heater all in one. That makes their efficiency rating just a little bit different. If you are interested in heat pumps in Chambersburg, PA, our team can help. We can talk to you more about how heat pumps work and why this particular type of system might be beneficial for your home. In the meantime, you can keep reading to learn more about the rating system used to measure energy efficiency for a heat pump.
