A common question from homeowners is whether they can convert to a heat pump system in Norman. The answer is almost always yes. Conversions from a system with a traditional air conditioner and furnace pairing are rather straightforward. You can even reuse the ductwork you already have in place if it’s in good condition. Replacing older ducts is an option as well.
What about cold temperatures and furnaces? One of the potential issues with air-source heat pumps is that they can become inefficient in very cold temperatures. That threshold varies from model to model. One option is to choose a heat pump with a low threshold appropriate to your area. Another option is what’s called hybrid or dual-fuel heating. This is where we pair a fuel-burning furnace with a heat pump. The latter option is typically more expensive initially but often more cost-effective over the life of the equipment.
Energy efficiency ratings are another important factor when considering a heat pump. The industry uses the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER2) to measure cooling efficiency. It uses the heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF2) to gauge the heating efficiency of heat pumps.
In the North region, the minimum SEER2 is 14.3, while the minimum HSPF2 is 7.5. In order to take advantage of tax credits and rebates, you’ll typically need to choose a unit with ENERGY STAR certification. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has its own standards for that. The EPA requires 15.2 SEER2 and 7.8 HSPF2 as minimums.
A modern heat pump system provides many benefits:
Energy incentives
Quieter operation
Lower electricity costs
Better indoor air quality
Reduced carbon footprint
