Your guide to heating and cooling

 

AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP (ASHP)

• It’s the best of both worlds. ASHPs provide home cooling and supplemental heating with 72% less electricity than conventional air conditioners and furnaces.

• ASHPs are measured by:

1) Heat Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF). HSPF/HSPF2 is the most commonly used measure of a heat pumps heating efficiency. The higher the HSPF/HSPF2, the more efficient the heat pump.

2) Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). The SEER/SEER2 rating most accurately reflects overall system cooling efficiency on a seasonal basis.

3) Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). EER/EER2 reflects the system’s cooling energy efficiency at peak day operations.

• You can switch between cooling and heating directly from the thermostat, putting you in complete control.

ASHP TUNE UP

• The best way to ensure efficient operation of your cooling system is by having a tuneup every two years.

 

DUCTLESS/MINI-SPLIT ASHP

• Use 60% less energy than standard home electric resistance-based heating systems, because they transfer instead of generate heat.

• Use sophisticated compressors and fans that can adjust speeds to save energy. You can cut cooling costs by 30% compared to conventional room air conditioners.

 

ELECTRONICALLY COMMUTATED MOTOR (ECM) FOR YOUR FURNACE

• ECMs are standard in new construction. Rebates are available only for replacement.

• ECMs help save energy and money by running at the best speed, opposed to traditional motors that always run at top speed.

• Furnaces equipped with an ECM have lower annual operating costs and can save you $40 to $300 per year depending on how you use the furnace fan.

GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMP

• The most efficient residential heating and cooling system available today.

• Provide energy savings of 20-50%, which results in recouping your investment in only a few years.

• Heating efficiencies 50-70% higher than other heating systems and cooling efficiencies 20-40% higher than available air conditioners.

2025 Reference and Conversion Sheet

Notice: On January 1, 2023 the Department of Energy (DoE) began using a new testing procedure to rate the
efficiency of air conditioners and air source heat pumps. These changes require new metrics (SEER2/EER2/
HSPF2) that were derived from the DoE’s new test procedure (M1) rather than the historical metrics (SEER/
EER/HSPF) from the old test procedure (M).


The simple conversion table below will help you to identify air conditioning (AC) and air source heat pump
(ASHP) equipment that qualifies for ENERGYWISE rebates in 2023 using the following steps.


Step 1: Determine what ratings system was used for the equipment model that you plan to purchase.


Step 2: Confirm that the efficiency ratings of the new equipment exceeds the requirements for the rebate
measure you are applying for using the table below to convert between the old and new efficiency ratings
