Heat Pumps

American Standard engineers have been at the forefront of heat pump technology, making electric heat pumps a reliable heating and cooling solution for homeowners across the country. Today’s inverter heat pump technology far surpasses the technology of 10-20 years ago, making a new heat pump system one of the most efficient HVAC systems available. 

American Standard offers a variety of energy-efficient split system heat pumps in multiple capacities to suit any size home. These include: 

And within each product line, we offer different sizing options, including:  

Not all units are available in all sizes. Both standard vertical heat pumps and slimmer low-profile heat pumps are available. Work with your local American Standard dealer to ensure you get the right size heat pump for your home. 

A heat pump acts as an air conditioner in the summer and provides electric heat in the fall and winter. Heat pump efficiency matters for your comfort and your wallet. Look for a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER2) and a high Heating Seasonal Performance Ratio (HSPF2) to get the most energy-efficient system that will keep you comfortable in a wide range of temperatures. 

If you live where you run the AC most of the year, the SEER2 rating will be more important than the HSPF2 rating. Because of their high efficiency, most of our heat pumps are eligible for heat pump rebates. 

Our most efficient standard vertical heat pumps offer 100% heating capacity down to 27°F and 70-82% at 5°F. Our low-profile cold climate heat pumps offer 100% heating capacity down to 5°F. Finally, our standard vertical cold climate heat pump (CCHP) will deliver even better heating capacity at temperatures well below 0°F. 

In a milder climate, a heat pump + air handler combination may be well-suited for your home. In colder climates, you may want to opt for a dual fuel heat pump system, where you pair your electric heat pump with a gas furnace for backup heat.  

The heat pump provides heat until the temperature drops and the unit becomes less efficient, at which point the furnace takes over. The units will switch back as outdoor temperatures rise again.

Durability is built into our energy-efficient HVAC equipment to ensure your system lasts. In our SEET Lab in Tyler, TX, we push our systems to the limit to satisfy our higher standards. We subject them to bone-chilling cold, blistering heat, extreme moisture, and power fluctuations.  

They endure eight consecutive two-week sessions under accelerated conditions, adding up to more than 2,600 hours of continuous testing. That’s years’ worth of wear and tear concentrated into four months. All to ensure only the best, most reliable systems make it into our customers’ homes.
