What is a heat pump's SEER rating?

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) indicates the cooling efficiency of a heat pump during the cooling season. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the system and the more energy you'll save. Look for a heat pump with a SEER rating of 15 or higher for good efficiency.

What is the difference between a heat pump and an air conditioner?

The main difference between a heat pump and an air conditioner is that a heat pump can both heat and cool, while an air conditioner only cools. In the summer, a heat pump works just like an air conditioner, extracting heat from your home and transferring it outdoors. However, during the winter, a heat pump reverses its operation, extracting heat from the outside air and bringing it inside to heat your home.. This versatility makes heat pumps a good choice for year-round climate control in mild to moderately cold climates.
