American Standard Heat Pumps

When selecting the best heat pumps, you must consider several factors including the heat pump’s cost, efficiency, SEER rating, and warranty. This guide outlines that information and more. Packaged systems offering air conditioners and heat pumps are also available, which provide year-round comfort.

You’ll notice mentions of SEER and HSPF rating as well as Energy Star qualification. The seasonal efficiency ratio, or SEER, is the measurement of the heat pump’s cooling efficiency. The heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF) measures the heat pump’s heating efficiency. Energy Star qualification means the heat pump is meeting energy-efficient standards backed by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Heat Pumps Overview

 Since 1892, American Standard has been keeping customer’s homes comfortable. Choosing their heat pumps means you’ll be experiencing the innovation they use combining heating and cooling into an efficient HVAC unit.

Heat pumps are divided into three different series. If you select a higher-end model, you’ll find a variable speed motor that provides exceptional energy efficiency no matter the weather conditions. American Standard’s entry-level models offer you budget-friendly optimal performance. The company’s heat pumps have a broad range of features that include quiet operation, climate control, hybrid fuel heating, and a communication system for high-quality performance. Because these heat pumps act as an air conditioner during the summer months and a heater in the winter, your home will be at the optimal temperature year-round.

American Standard Heat Pump Care & Maintenance

One of the simplest ways to keep your heat pump running well is by changing its air filter. Under most circumstances, due to regular usage, you should change heat pump filters monthly. For those who use their heat pumps periodically, changing filters every three months is adequate.

Keep your heat pump running smoothly by following these care and maintenance tips:

• Remove all outdoor debris and foliage from the outdoor unit’s surroundings
• The heat pump’s filters should be changed monthly, or as often as needed
• As soon as you notice dirt, clean the outdoor coils
• Clean your home’s supply and return registers routinely

Contact an HVAC Professional

Your heat pump should undergo a thorough maintenance check annually. Therefore, you must contact an HVAC professional for this comprehensive care. In addition to following that checklist above, HVAC technicians will also look for correct thermostat operation, electrical wiring system issues, obstructions, and leaks.
