Heat and Cool with a Heat Pump

Save energy in any extreme

Heat pumps are an efficient and clean way to move heat into your home, but what if you live in a colder climate?

Heat pumps move heat, rather than create heat, which means they take less energy and provide higher efficiency. A cold-climate heat pump uses a special inverter compressor—or variable speed drive—that slows the system down to maintain temperatures (avoiding shorter cycles when the system runs at full capacity), then shuts off. Operating longer cycles uses less energy and helps achieve higher levels of efficiency.

Benefits of cold-climate heat pumps

CCHPs are:

• Safe and clean. CCHPs capture free heat instead of burning fuel, making them clean and safe heating and cooling systems.
• Economical. CCHPs provide more than four times the heat per unit of energy used when temperatures are above 47ºF and more than twice the heat at 0ºF or lower, reducing your annual heating and cooling costs.
• Efficient. CCHPs provide up to 90% of space heating needs with an overall seasonal efficiency of 250%.
