"In order to assess the best heat pump various factors need to be considered," he comments. "A SEER rating is one of them, as well as HSPF ratings. The higher the SEER or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio the more efficient the unit is. But, there is one thing you need to know about the SEER rating. The SEER rating only refers to the cooling efficiency of the unit. If you want to make a truly informed decision about the unit you also need to look at the HSPF or Heating Season Performance Factor," he adds further.

Heat pump ratings according to HeatPumpReview.net states that in the modern day pump the SEER rating should be around 14 as opposed to the single digit value of 7 or 6 in the older pumps. Similarly, a good rating in the case of HSPF would be any value between 5, 6 or 7.
