This is Turtle.

Scotty , there is 3 measuring scales or yard stick you will use on a heat pump.

SEER , C.O.P. @ 47ºF outdoors , and H.S.P.F. at [ region IV ].

If you live in the very South U.S.A. Look at the SEER real heavy and COP and
HSPF last.

If you live in the Northern states or even in the middle states. Look at the COP
and the HSPF Real hard and the SEER lightly.

Now HVAC companys and people talk in COP and HSFP for comparing Heating Ability
only of heat pump system as to getting the most bang for the buck. If you live
in a cold climate you want the highest COP and HSPF number that you can get and
the normal SEER ratings. If you live in a warm climate like in the southern
states. You want a high SEER and maybe a high COP & HSPF if you can afford it
but not a real need.

Now HVAC companys & People talk in SEER rating for the cooling ability only. If
you live in the South. Get the highest SEER you can get and the COP & HSPF just
normal numbers. If you live in the Northern states Get the Highest COP & HSPF
you can get and then when it comes to SEER just get a 10 or 12 seer maybe but no
big deal about getting a high SEER.

If you really want to talk SEER or COP or HSPF Ratings e-mail me here at this
newsgroup address for it is a good e-mail address.
