Why ENERGY STAR?
Keeping your home at a comfortable temperature can be expensive. A typical household’s energy bill is around $1,900 annually, and almost half of that goes to heating and cooling! To cut these costs, an air source heat pump (ASHP) can be installed and connected to the conventional forced-air ductwork system that is typical of most American homes. (For homes without ductwork, see www.energystar.gov/minisplit.)
ASHPs that earn the ENERGY STAR label are independently certified to save energy, save money, and protect the climate. Electric ASHPs use the difference between outdoor air temperatures and indoor air temperatures to cool and heat your home. Because heat pumps move heat rather than converting it from fuel, as combustion heating systems do, an ASHP is so efficient that it can deliver up to three times more heat energy to a home than the electrical energy it consumes. ASHPs are also a smart investment year-round, as heat pumps serve double duty by also providing cooling in the summer months.
