Understanding Heat Pump Efficiency Ratings: Your Guide to SEER and HSPF


Demystifying Heat Pump Performance Metrics

When it comes to selecting a heat pump for your home, understanding efficiency ratings is crucial for making an informed decision. At Advanced Heating, we believe educated customers make better choices for their comfort needs.

Key Efficiency Metrics

Two primary ratings determine heat pump efficiency:

  • SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio)
  • HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor)

Modern heat pumps typically range from 14-21 SEER, with higher numbers indicating better efficiency. The minimum HSPF rating for new systems is 8.2, though premium models can exceed 10.0.

Cost Implications

While higher-efficiency units cost more initially, they deliver significant savings over time. A unit with an 18 SEER rating could save homeowners up to 30% on cooling costs compared to older 10 SEER systems.
