Technical Description

High-efficiency and ultra-efficient heat pumps save money heating your home using advanced refrigerant cycle technology that moves heat from colder outdoor air or a ground loop to heat your home in winter. In summer the cycle is reversed; the heat pump pulls heat out of your home and discharges it to the air or to a ground loop to cool your home. High-efficiency comfort equipment meets ENERGY STAR requirements for efficiency. Ultra-efficient comfort equipment meets or exceeds the criteria for ENERGY STAR’s “Most Efficient” designation.
