Unlike a furnace it doesn't burn fuel to make heat. It simply uses electricity to move heat from one place to another. In the cooling mode, an air conditioner or heat pump simply capture heat from inside your home and transfer it outside.

In heating, a heat pump actually reverse-cycles and captures heat from outside and moves it inside. This process is more efficient than electric heat as it is much less expensive to transfer existing heat than to actually generate it.

There is usable heat in the air down to about 0 degrees Fahrenheit. It feels cold to us because our skin temperature is 98.6 degrees

A heat pump's heating capacity is rated at 47 degrees ambient (outside) temperature.

As the outside temperature drops the heat pumps capacity drops in a linear fashion relative to the outdoor temperature. Most heat pumps will produce about half of their rated capacity at 12 degrees ambient.

An electric heating element provides supplemental heat to assist the heat pump as it's capacity declines. The heat pump monitors both the outdoor temperature and inside supply air temperature and energizes the assist as needed, automatically.

The Goodman GPC13H 13 SEER electric cooling package units feature SEER ratings of 13, making it an energy efficient choice for home comfort.

Compared with a 15 year old system, you could save up to 38% on your energy bill.

Here's a savings example for a 3 ton system:

Annual operating costs for a 15 year old, 8 SEER system--$810.00*

Annual operating costs for a Goodman 13 SEER system---$504.00*

If you live in very warm climate your savings could be even greater. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio.

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. SEER gives an indication of the energy efficiency of the system. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the unit. And, the more efficient the unit, the lower your energy costs.

When you purchase a system with a high SEER, you'll use less energy to cool your house, resulting in lower electric bills.

In many cases, these savings are enough to partially or fully offset the cost of the new equipment within a few years.

Any qualified air conditioning technician can easily install this equipment in your home or office. It has been designed to be extremely easy to install.

It will normally require about 4-6 hours to replace an existing similar type system.

For you do-it-yourselfers replacing an existing package unit, simply connect your existing supply and return ducts and the electrical, and the installation is complete.

The electrical connections and final startup must be made by a certified heating and cooling contractor to validate system warranty.

 

Where can this equipment be installed?

This unit is designed for ground level or roof-top installation and features a side-by-side supply and return duct configuration. It can be installed in mobile or modular homes, on flat rooftops, or any home with an open crawl space.
