Overview

A heat pump works by moving air from one place to another through the use of a refrigerant. During cold months, it takes the warm air out of outside air and transfers it inside. The process is easily reversible during warm months. This versatility allows you to save energy, which translates to real cash.

Indoor air quality is another area where a heat pump excels. It circulates the mixes outside air with inside air, which results in improved air quality inside the house. When you use high-grade filters and maintain your unit regularly, you are guaranteed to have cleaner, safer indoor air.

Conventional HVAC systems sometimes fail to deliver consistent temperatures due to improper sizing or poor maintenance. You don’t have to deal with this issue with a heat pump because it provides even heating and cooling throughout your home.

Features of the Lennox Merit Series 16HPX Heat Pump

Pairing your heat pump with a variable-speed furnace or air handler allows you to continuously maintain a slow circulation of air throughout your home, decreasing the amount of humidity in your home for improved indoor air quality and comfort.

When the 16HPX is installed with a compatible Lennox furnace, it creates a heating system that can switch back and forth between electricity and gas automatically, based on whichever is most cost-efficient for the weather conditions at the time.
