A heat pump is a central air conditioning and highly efficient heating system that will "extract" heat from the air in the wintertime for cost effective heating comfort in all but the most severe winter climates. The system actually "reverse-cycles" in the heating mode and captures heat from outside and "pumps" it into your home.
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 coil is a rifled, refrigeration-grade copper tube and aluminum fin construction for maximum durability and heat transfer.
All Goodman heat pump condensers are designed for ground level or rooftop mounting with bottom pan rails to elevate the unit away from moisture.
The maintenance-free condenser fan motor is totally enclosed and permanently lubricated. Plus, the built-in filter dryer removes potentially harmful moisture from the system, providing protection from contaminants
Goodman doesn't cut corners on the cabinet either it is constructed from heavy-gauge, zinc-clad G90 galvanized steel and is designed to help prevent damage from yard debris and the elements. The special polyester powder paint finish is "baked-on", providing an extra measure of protection for years of long-lasting good looks. This construction design looks great in any architectural environment.
These high-quality components ensure that your new Goodman heat pump system will comfortably heat and cool your home for years to come.
The last thing you want is to hear a noisy heat pump starting up at night. Goodman understands and builds each unit to ensure that your heat pump won't interfere with a good night's sleep.
- An 8-Pole, low speed fan motor reduces fan turbulence
- A unique 3-blade fan slices cleanly and quietly through the air
- A specially louvered sound-control top ensures lower operating noise levels
The result? Quiet and smooth operation that won't disturb you and your family.
Don't be fooled by the affordable price tag Goodman is a leader in home heating and cooling systems. In fact, Goodman is the second largest HVAC manufacturer in the world providing the longest and most comprehensive warranty's in the industry.
Every single unit is run-tested before shipment and leak-tested three separate times during the manufacturing process to ensure a trouble-free installation.
Plus, to save costs at installation time the heat pump condenser is pre-charged with R-22 refrigerant for up to 15-20 feet of tubing.
The new Goodman GSH series heat pumps offer affordable, reliable, and quiet operation you can count on year after year.
