Are Some Heat Pumps Better Than
Others?
Naturally, energy efficiency is important. But when making your selection, remember
low operating costs are little comfort if service and repair bills are high.
Don’t be sold on energy efficiency alone.
Rheem is the only manufacturer to install the Copeland® Compliant Scroll® Compressor,
the industry best, in its entire residential heat pump line.

What Should I Know About SEER
and HSPE?
The Department of Energy requires all air-conditioning and heating equipment
manufacturers to evaluate and rate the efficiency of their equipment on a seasonal
basis. These ratings are known as the SEER or, Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating,
for air conditioners, and the HSPF or, Heating Seasonal Performance Factor, for
heating equipment.
Heat pumps use both numbers. The higher the SEER or HSPF rating, the more efficient
the heat pump. High-efficiency units cost more. But since operating costs are
lower, the payback period may be shorter than you realize. A high SEER/HSPF heat
pump also can add value to your business which is important to today’s energy-conscious
business buyers.

Are Exterior Features Important?
Absolutely. Look for features such as a louvered, galvanized steel cabinet to
protect the condensing unit from outdoor hazards. And make sure the cabinet is
powder-painted with a high-quality enamel for improved durability and appearance.

What Kind of Coils Should
I Look For?
Look for copper tubing in the evaporator and condensing coil. Copper tubing is
a good conductor of heat and is virtually immune to corrosion. And unlike fragile
aluminum tubing, copper tubing is relatively simple to repair in the field.

Are Some Brands Quieter Than Others?
With some units, the outdoor fan can be a bothersome source of noise. Rheem units
have a grille design that minimizes air restriction which allows the fan to operate
more quietly. Also, the fan is mounted on the underside of the grille. This protects
it from the elements and it directs airflow upward, away from plants and shrubbery.

What Should I
Look for in a Dealer?
Dependability. Look for a dealer you see in your community. You want one who’s
close by to provide you faster, more convenient service.
He should offer a recognized name brand. And he should have a well-stocked inventory
of replacement parts. You wouldn’t want to sit out a mid-summer heat wave
waiting for a simple repair!
One way to be sure you’ll get good service is to contact a neighborhood
Rheem dealer.
Your local Rheem dealer is knowledgeable, dependable, and as good as any you’ll
find in the business. Give him a call or click
here to find a dealer near you.
