Energy savings. If that’s what you’re looking for, you should consider upgrading to a heat pump. Traditional methods of heating such as electric space heaters only create heat that is equal to the amount of electricity used. For furnaces, the top-of-the-line model converts 99 percent of its fuel into heat.
On the other hand, a heat pump only uses electricity to power the evaporator, compressor, and condenser to draw heat from the outside and bring it to your home. This setup allows a heat pump to provide more than three units of heat for every unit of electricity used or an efficiency rate of 300%.
Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning is your trusted HVAC company in Ramsey MN that offers a wide range of home comfort systems, including heat pumps.
Overview
Since the temperatures are now milder, you don’t need to run your furnace full on because doing so can be too much to operate on such days. This is why having a heat pump is so practical. Even as temperatures drop to below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, there is still viable energy to provide heat for your home.
When temperatures get below freezing point, it does make a heat pump less potent, because it will still offer a good amount of heat. In those cases, integrating your heat pump with your already existing furnace is an energy-efficient way to heat your home. While the heat pump will still run, you can now use your furnace on a lower level to create absolute home comfort without having to spend too much money.
Features of the Lennox Merit Series 16HPX Heat Pump
Responding to changing conditions, the 16HPX adjusts to maximize energy savings — operating at a lower speed most of the time and ramping up during periods of increased cooling demand. This multi-stage operation also translates to enhanced humidity control.
The 16HPX heat pump has efficiency ratings of up to 17.00 SEER and 9.5 HSPF, packing a lot of comfort into an affordable package.
Pairing your heat pump with a variable-speed furnace or air handler allows you to continuously maintain a slow circulation of air throughout your home, decreasing the amount of humidity in your home for improved indoor air quality and comfort.
When the 16HPX is installed with a compatible Lennox furnace, it creates a heating system that can switch back and forth between electricity and gas automatically, based on whichever is most cost-efficient for the weather conditions at the time.
This product comes with a 5-Year Limited Warranty on covered components including the compressor. The 16HPX heat pump may be eligible for valuable 10-Year Limited Warranty coverage with product registration.
The 16HPX heat pump is certified by ENERGY STAR®. Such products are the same or better than standard products, only they use less energy.
