If the time has come to upgrade your HVAC system in St. Petersburg, FL, consider a heat pump. Poulin Cooling installs these heating and cooling systems for homes and businesses here. These systems provide efficient cooling. They provide heating, too, and it is often less expensive than alternatives like furnaces.
St. Petersburg Heat Pump Systems
When considering heat pump systems in St. Petersburg, you need to choose the optimal size. An appropriately sized heat pump will deliver higher efficiency and last longer, too. To size heat pumps, our installers perform a Manual J load calculation. That accounts for the layout and cubic footage of the home as well as the building envelope and other factors. That calculation will indicate how much cooling and heating output you need.
Once you know that, you can consider efficiency ratings. The seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER2) measures a system’s efficiency over an entire cooling season. The heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF2) measures efficiency over an entire heating season. In the case of both SEER2 and HSPF2, the higher the rating, the cheaper the system is to run.
Systems with higher SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings will generally be more expensive up-front. Choose a system with which you can offset the added initial cost through long-term savings on operating costs. Rebates and tax credits may also be available.
Also, consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat if you don’t yet have one. These thermostats can help you maximize how efficiently your system cycles. Through features like scheduling and geofencing, they can also lower your cooling and heating costs. Another consideration for your new heat pump is the filter it supports. Choosing a filter with a higher MERV rating can make a notable difference in indoor air quality.
There are many excellent reasons to choose a new heat pump system.
