The Evolution® Extreme variable-speed heat pump (280ANV) has efficiencies of up to 13 HSPF and up to 20.5 SEER. When combined with an Evolution control and Evolution gas furnace or fan coil, the heat pump utilizes a variable-speed compressor to precisely match its operation to the heating and cooling needs of the home.
The heat pump market is growing. As new applications spur on new technology, there is a lot for contractors to keep up with, especially in air-source heat pumps. Here is a sampling of some of the residential and light commercial heat pump products available to contractors. For more information, a link has been provided with each entry.
A key aspect that contractors can consider to determine whether or not a heat pump is the right choice for a customer is their region. And in areas where natural gas supplies are limited and other sources like electricity, propane, and oil are used, the return on a heat pump investment can often be seen quickly.
