Understanding Efficiencies (SEER & HSPF)
Similar to the MPG rating of automobiles, the higher a heat pump’s SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) or HSPF (heating seasonal performance factor), the more energy efficient the unit will be. To maximize your comfort and efficiency, we recommend combining a heat pump with a furnace in a dual-fuel system setup.
Our featured Lennox® heat pumps include:
