Heat Pump

Heat pumps in Gretna offer excellent energy efficiency, but there’s more to consider when choosing the right system. While efficiency reduces operating costs, frequent repairs or high service bills can quickly outweigh those savings. So, don’t focus solely on efficiency when making your decision.

Ruud stands out as the only manufacturer that includes the Compliant Scroll® Compressor in its entire residential heat pump line. This industry-leading feature ensures durability, reliability, and optimal performance for your home.

Heat pumps in Gretna are evaluated for efficiency using seasonal ratings required by the Department of Energy. These ratings include SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) for cooling and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) for heating. Both numbers measure how efficiently a heat pump operates throughout the year.

Higher SEER and HSPF ratings mean greater efficiency, but these units typically cost more upfront. However, their lower operating costs can result in a shorter payback period, saving you money over time. Additionally, an efficient heat pump can increase your home’s value, appealing to energy-conscious buyers.

Absolutely, prioritize features like a louvered, galvanized steel cabinet to shield the condensing unit from outdoor hazards. Additionally, ensure the cabinet has a durable, powder-painted finish with high-quality enamel for lasting protection. This design not only improves the unit’s appearance but also enhances its resilience against harsh weather conditions.

Some units can create bothersome noise from their outdoor fans, but Ruud units solve this issue effectively. Their grille design reduces air restriction, helping the fan operate more quietly and efficiently. Additionally, Ruud mounts the fan on the underside of the grille for extra protection against weather. This thoughtful design directs airflow upward, keeping it away from nearby plants and shrubbery for better functionality.
