Types of Energy-Efficient HVAC Systems

Geothermal heat pumps are the most energy-efficient HVAC systems on the market, followed by air-source heat pumps, ductless mini split HVAC systems and high-efficiency conventional HVAC systems.

Geothermal Heat Pumps are considered the most energy-efficient because they use the stable temperature of the earth for heating and cooling, resulting in high performance ratings and significant energy savings.
Air-Source Heat Pumps are highly efficient because they transfer existing heat rather than creating it from fuel, and they can be powered by electricity, making them compatible with solar power.
Ductless Mini Splits are efficient because they allow for easy zoning, which means you can control the temperature in different areas of your home, and you aren’t heating or cooling unoccupied spaces.
High-Efficiency Conventional HVAC Systems feature advanced heating and cooling units that use less energy, provide greater comfort, and operate more quietly than standard models.

How to Choose an Energy-Efficient HVAC System

To choose an energy-efficient HVAC system for your home, look for the ENERGY STAR® label and check the HVAC unit’s SEER and AFUE ratings. You’ll also need to consider your climate, budget, and your home’s insulation, as well as the size of your home.

ENERGY STAR® Label – This certification is awarded to models that meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
SEER Ratings (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) – A higher SEER rating means more energy-efficient cooling. Aim for a SEER rating of 16 or higher.
AFUE Ratings (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) – A higher AFUE rating means more fuel is converted to heat. For a gas furnace, an AFUE of 90% or higher is considered energy efficient.
Proper Size – It’s important to choose the right size unit for your home. If it is too large or too small, even the most energy-efficient HVAC system will not be able to heat and cool your home efficiently.
