Heat Pumps
In frigid Colorado winters, some may think a heat pump is an unrealistic choice to keep you warm in low temperatures. However, heat pumps can provide an energy-efficient source of warmth in your home, especially when paired with a furnace to create a dual-fuel system for ultimate home comfort. What Is A Heat Pump? Heat pump systems transfer heat indoors or outdoors using a compressor and liquid or gas refrigerant to provide an energy-efficient way to heat or cool your home. In colder months, heat pumps pull heat from the outdoor air and transfer it inside your home to keep it warm. In warmer months, it transfers heat from inside your home to the outdoors to maintain cool temperatures inside your home. Because heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, they can efficiently heat or cool your home in any climate.
How Does A Heat Pump Work?
Because heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, heat pump systems typically consist of both an indoor and outdoor unit that works together to transfer thermal energy between two places. Heat is pulled from the air or ground and pumped indoors to heat a space, and is removed from a home to cool it down. The two main types of heat pumps are air-source and ground-source. Air-Source Heat Pumps In the summer, heat pumps work similarly to an air conditioner to cool your home, using a refrigerant to absorb heat and transfer it outdoors. During the winter, the cycle is reversed and the heat pump extracts heat energy from outdoor air and transfers it into your home. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air and pressurizes it to raise the temperature. The warm air is then released into your home until the heat is extracted and condensed back into a liquid to continue the cycle.
4shp17le Essential performance with enhanced efficiency

4shp18lx Powerful combination of comfort and efficiency
For those seekig a powerful heat pump with the ideal balance of home comfort and energy efficiency, the 4SHP18LX delivers. Instead of simply on-or-off, the up to 20 SEER (19 SEER2) and 10 HSPF (8.5 HSPF2) inverter-driven compressor operates at variable speeds. That means quieter noise levels, consistent temperatures and enhanced dehumidification, all backed by purposeful engineering to keep your unit running at peak performance.
4shp22lx Total comfort with maximum control
Unlock the highest degree of control over your indoor environment with the Pro Series 4SHP22LX heat pump. It features smart thermostat compatibility, targeted temperature control and up to 22 SEER (20.9 SEER2) and 10.5 HSPF (9.5 HSPF2) efficiency for fine-tuned comfort across your home. Rather than running at only one or two speeds, this unit adapts its speeds in small increments. This means lower noise levels, enhanced dehumidification for stable temperatures as well as significant energy savings. Pair it with the Comfort Sync® A3 UltraSmart Thermostat that makes constant adjustments to ensure your entire system is working in harmony for your ideal environment.
