Heat Pump System Type

Air-Source Heat Pump

Most common type, extracts heat from outdoor air

SEER: 14-24 | HSPF: 7-13

Ground-Source (Geothermal)

Uses stable ground temperature for higher efficiency

SEER: 16-30 | HSPF: 8-15

Water-Source Heat Pump

Uses water body or well water for heat exchange

SEER: 15-25 | HSPF: 8-12
