The following example shows estimated savings from an energy-efficient heat pump.
Annual energy cost comparison* (typical 1,800 square-foot home):
- $1,747 per year for electric furnace with 10 SEER air conditioning
- $951 per year for heat pump (7.7 HSPF/13 SEER)
- Difference: $796 per year energy savings (46 percent)
