Why Should You Install A Heat Pump?
Heat pumps are recognized as an extremely efficient method of heating, particularly when compared to traditional heating systems like gas or electric furnaces. Their high efficiency can be attributed to the fact that instead of generating heat, they simply transfer it from one place to another – specifically, from the outside of your home to the inside (or vice versa for cooling).
Here's a more in-depth look at how heat pumps offer greater efficiency:
1. Heat Transfer vs. Heat Generation:
The fundamental difference between heat pumps and other heating methods is how they produce heat. Traditional furnaces burn fuel or use electricity to generate heat, which requires a significant amount of energy. On the other hand, heat pumps use electricity to move existing heat from the outdoor air into your home. Even in cooler weather, there's still heat in the air that can be extracted by a heat pump. This process of moving heat, rather than creating it, is much more energy-efficient.
2. Versatility and Two-in-One Function:
Heat pumps can both heat and cool your home, eliminating the need for separate systems for each function. This dual capability can lead to cost savings, as you only need to install and maintain one system instead of two.
3. High SEER and HSPF Ratings:
As discussed previously, SEER and HSPF are measurements of a heat pump's efficiency. Heat pumps often have high SEER and HSPF ratings, indicating their superior energy efficiency compared to other heating methods.
For residents of Ohio, with our hot summers and cold winters, heat pumps can be an excellent heating and cooling option. The cooler winters mean that heat pumps can operate close to their optimal efficiency levels providing the temperatures stay in the mid 30's.
While exact energy savings will depend on various factors, including the efficiency of your previous heating system and the efficiency rating of your new heat pump, switching to a heat pump could potentially cut your heating costs in half. This is a significant saving, especially considering the rising costs of energy.
Remember that regular maintenance of your heat pump is essential to keep it running efficiently. This includes cleaning or replacing filters, maintaining the outdoor unit, and having regular check-ups by a professional HVAC technician.
Finally, always consult with a professional HVAC company, such as Lakeshore Heating & Cooling, when considering a switch to a heat pump. We can provide tailored advice based on your specific home and heating needs to ensure you get the most efficient and cost-effective solution.

Understanding Heat Pump Efficiency Ratings
Choosing the right heat pump can be confusing with so many different ratings to consider like SEER or HSPF and many home and business owners don't know what they mean. Here are explanations of these ratings and how they apply to choosing the right heat pump for your needs.
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio)
SEER is a measurement used to gauge the energy efficiency of a heat pump or air conditioning unit during its cooling operation. It's calculated by dividing the cooling output over a typical cooling season by the total electrical energy input during the same period. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the system is.
For instance, a heat pump with a SEER rating of 18 is more energy-efficient than a unit with a SEER rating of 14. Heat pumps available in the US market have SEER ratings that range widely, with some of the most energy-efficient models reaching into the high 20s or even low 30s.
HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor)
While SEER rates cooling efficiency, HSPF is used to measure the energy efficiency of a heat pump during its heating operation. It's calculated by dividing the total heating output over a typical heating season by the total electric energy input during the same timeframe. As with SEER, a higher HSPF rating indicates a more energy-efficient system.
In Ohio, a Heat Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) of at least 8.2 is recommended for heat pumps to meet energy efficiency standards. However, for greater energy savings and to qualify for certain federal or state rebate programs, it is advisable to choose a heat pump with an HSPF rating of 9.0 or higher.
When choosing a heat pump, considering both SEER and HSPF ratings can give you a comprehensive understanding of the unit's overall energy efficiency. Units that are more efficient may cost more upfront but can offer significant energy cost savings over time.
Your specific climate and heating and cooling needs should also be taken into account. In Ohio where winters can be fairly cold and summers very warm and humid, both a high SEER and HSPF rating can be beneficial for year-round comfort and efficiency.

What Makes Your Home Or Building A Great Candidate For A Heat Pump?
If you're considering a heat pump for your Ohio home or building, several factors can determine if it’s the right fit for your property:
Year-Round Temperature Needs: Ohio’s climate, with cold winters and warm summers, makes heat pumps an efficient solution for maintaining comfortable temperatures throughout the year.
Well-Insulated Homes: Homes with high-quality insulation, energy-efficient windows, and doors are excellent candidates as they can optimize heat pump performance by minimizing energy loss.
Outdated Heating Systems: If you currently rely on older systems like electric baseboard heaters or aging furnaces, a heat pump can offer better efficiency and cost savings.
Ductwork Compatibility: Homes with existing ductwork, or those suitable for ductless mini-split systems, are ideal for heat pump installations.
Space for Outdoor Unit: Adequate space for the outdoor component of the heat pump is necessary for optimal operation.
If your home or building meets these conditions, a heat pump could be an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solution for both heating and cooling your space.

TESTIMONIALS
My wife posted on our local Facebook page looking for a part for our furnace, this company commented so I gave them a chance. I seen their 5 star reviews and was almost hesitant becasue there were no bad reviews at all. Once we dealt with them I can see why there were no bad reviews. This company is run by people who actually care and know their stuff. Matt came out and did a diagnostics on my furnace which was with the house I bought a bit over three years ago. The furnace is almost old enough to drink at this point but rather just quote a new one he took the time to look it over and find out it just needed a part to keep it going. I would highly recommend them to anyone and dont plan on dealing with any other companies with future needs myself becasue how great my experience was with them.
Matt came out in a bad time for me and my family when our heat went out late in the evening. He was fast and efficient. Highly recommend.
Got a new Trane from Lakeshore. Would recommend. Friendly service and good install. Good communication as well.
This company is amazing. The pride they put into their work shows how much they care! Great team of guys!
Very quick to accommodate the day after a holiday in a winter weather week.
Matt B was excellent to work with. This was my first experience With Lakeshore Heating. I got a text and tracking information that he was on his way. He did a very thorough job. Couldn’t have been happier with the service.. Thank you so much
