What Is a Heat Pump?
Simply put, a heat pump system is an AC that can reverse its operation to heat your home too. The name “heat pump” was appropriately given because pumping heat is exactly what it does. A heat pump simply moves heat from one location to another.
There’s no need to install separate units or systems to provide both heating and cooling. Air-to-air heat pumps are designed to pull heat out of the surrounding air, while geothermal heat pumps pull heat out of the ground.
Heat pumps are a cost-effective, energy-efficient home comfort system that can provide over 15 years of reliable operation with proper care and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How efficient are heat pumps?
Heat pumps are the most efficient units on the market when used in moderate climates. In the Mid-Atlantic region, heat pumps are a great choice for heating and cooling your home.
In more severe climates, like New England and more northern states, heat pumps may require a supplementary furnace to provide for the building’s heating needs.
How is the efficiency of heat pumps measured?
When measuring the efficiency of heat pumps, there are three acronyms you’ll need to understand:
- SEER: Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio is comparable to measuring miles per gallon for vehicles to ascertain the efficiency of the AC side of the heat pump. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the heat pump is in cooling mode.
- HSPF: Heating Season Performance Factor is a ratio of BTU heat output over the heating season to watt-hours of electricity used. The higher the HSPF rating, the more efficient the heat pump is in the heating mode.
- EER: Energy Efficiency Ratio is the ratio of output cooling (BTU per hour) to input electrical power (watts) at a given operating point or temperature. EER is generally calculated using an outside temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit and an inside temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 50% relative humidity.
Again, the higher the SEER, HSPF, or EER, the more efficient a heat pump is.
How much does a new heat pump cost?
Pricing varies depending on what your home needs. Each system is custom-designed for each home based on square footage, SEER rating, home layout, and specific concerns of the homeowners.
At Service Today, we provide free replacement estimates so you can get an idea of your costs.
How long should a heat pump last?
The average lifespan of a residential heat pump installed in a normal environment is 15 years. If a major issue arises, systems that aren’t routinely maintained may need premature replacement.
Do heat pumps work in the cold?
Yes, heat pumps work in the cold. However, a supplementary furnace may need to be installed alongside your heat pump if temperatures are very cold, or, if it’s cold for extended periods throughout the year.
Where Do Heat Pumps Work Best?
Heat pumps work best in milder climates where temperatures rarely go below freezing. In the U.S., heat pump systems are most popular in the Southeast and Southwest, however, they’re growing in popularity in the Northeast.
Can a heat pump be used for both heating and cooling?
A heat pump can be used for both heating and cooling. Heat pump systems extract heat out of the surrounding air and move it inside your home. During the summer, the heat pump extracts heat from the air inside and moves it outside the home.
How does a geothermal heat pump work?
Unlike regular heat pump systems that pull heat out of the surrounding area, geothermal heat pumps pull heat out of the ground and transfer it into your home.
