SEER and HSPF Ratings

To ensure you get the best deal and choose the most effective heat pump for your own Mesquite home, be sure to become familiar with common rating systems and what they mean, and be diligent to read about them in the model descriptions. The most common abbreviations you will find in heat pump reviews and details are the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) and the Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF). These abbreviation ratings are used by all major heat pump manufacturers and describe the energy and heating efficiency of every model. SEER ratings for air conditioner function are typically between 13 and 19; the higher the rating, the more efficient the unit is. HSPF ratings for heat pumps range between 7 and 9.5. The higher the rating, the more efficient the model is at heating your home.

However, do not just buy the highest rated unit. Depending on the size of your home and the climate you live in, the higher rated unit may be more expensive than you need and less efficient in the long run. Make sure the unit you choose suits the size of your home and the weather of the Mesquite area, as a too large model will not run effectively, cycling on and off erratically, and will not keep your home at a comfortable temperature.

Choose Mesquite Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. to Install or Repair Your Heat Pump

Beyond the research and the cost of the heat pump model itself, the most significant factor in the success and efficiency of your heat pump is the choice of installer. The vast majority of heat pump problems and necessary repairs are due to improper installation and contractor errors. Choose a qualified and well reputed installer who is familiar with the make and model of the heat pump you want installed. Most manufacturers have a list of approved installers, and will be happy to provide you with names in your area that are well recommended. We pride ourselves in providing Quality-Service/Sales/Installs 24/7.

Also ask any neighbors or friends if they have had a heat pump installed, and who they had success with, and also check your list with the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org. Be sure to get several different estimates to establish an acceptable and expected price range. Some people prefer to get a service contract that provides for preseason check ups at least once a year, but that is up to individual preference and can affect the end price.

If these steps are taken, you should have no trouble finding a dependable heat pump installed by a reliable contractor, like those from Mesquite Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., and a well-chosen heat pump can last you up to twenty years. It is imperative that you take care to educate and inform yourself about different unit options and ratings, as well as what the individual needs are for your own home.
