Don't Limit Your Focus To Energy Efficiency Alone?
One can easily become too focused on saving on energy costs and fail to broaden the picture to consider other items, such as repairs and service calls when it is time to make the purchase of a heating/cooling unit for their home. These can quickly eat up the savings that one has gained on energy usage if the select product is of sub-standard quality. The big picture will relate that the reliable Ruud heat pump offers consumers the entire package with an above-standard product. The standard policy with these home comfort units will be cost-effective (priced reasonably), energy-saving (allowing for better usage of your energy costs) and a lengthy life of good service.
The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) both are guiding points as to just how efficiently heat pumps operate. The government minimums are 13 for SEER and 6 for HSPF. The UPRL-JEC, UPRL-JEZ, and UPQL-*AZ series of the Ruud heat pumps lay claim to SEER ratings of 15 plus and 9.5 for HSPF. With these numbers, any one of these models qualify for tax credits of $1500 due to these energy efficiency ratings.
General Electric offers heat pump units which are more zonal than covering an entire residence. The model AZ61H07EAB with 7200 BTU for cooling capacity and 6400 BTU for reverse heating is a slide in product and sells for approximately $1500. While this product would not qualify for any tax credits, it will certainly meet the needs of a smaller space quite adequately.

Before making this huge purchase, it is wise to assess just what will be the most cost effective for your particular locale. The heat pump will run equally regardless of temperature. When your residence is located in a warmer climate, there might be cause to consider whether or not a central air conditioning system with separate furnace of lesser quality might be a better investment overall. As with any major appliance, proper maintenance is always imperative to achieve maximum longevity and good service. Keeping a watch over the changing of filters on a regular schedule in any heating/cooling system will aid in getting the best service from your unit and limit repair/service calls. |
