Two important heat pump ratings include the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) and heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF). SEER indicates cooling efficiency over the summer, while the HSPF indicates heating efficiency over the winter. You may also notice SEER2 and HSPF2, which are new ratings. In all cases, the higher the number, the more efficient the heat pump system.
The Department of Energy (DOE) organizes the U.S. into three regions regarding minimum energy efficiency ratings. California is in the Southwest region. In this region, the minimum ratings are 15 SEER, 14.3 SEER2, 8.8 HSPF and 7.5 HSPF2. You’ll find systems with much higher ratings than these minimums. Whether they’re worth it for you is something you should discuss with your preferred HVAC company. When choosing the best rating for your home, you will want to consider the added initial cost and the long-term savings.
Most homeowners in Southern California can get by with a heat pump alone. Air-source heat pumps become less efficient in cold temperatures, but that’s generally below 35 degrees Fahrenheit. If that’s a concern for you, there are a few options. You can pair the heat pump with a furnace. This approach is often called hybrid heating or a dual-source heat pump. You can also augment the system with electric baseboard radiators.
There are many reasons to consider a heat pump:
Quiet operation
Heating and cooling combined
Reduced household carbon footprint
Lower month-to-month operating costs
Rebates, tax credits and other incentives
