Heat Pumps

American Standard
A heat pump does the job of an air conditioner and a furnace. But unlike a furnace, it doesn’t burn fuel to create heat. It uses electricity to keep your home warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and comfortable all year round.

The Heritage heat pump family builds on the history of American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning by offering innovate features that provide families like yours with consistent, quality home comfort for years.

How does a heat pump work?

A heat pump doesn’t use up fuel making heat, it just moves it. In the summer it moves heat from the inside to the outside of your home, just like a standard central air conditioning system. In the winter, it functions like an air conditioner in reverse — harvesting heat from the outdoor air and moving it inside. The air outside may seem cold to you, but there’s actually heat in all air, and the heat pump collects it to keep your home comfortable. With the ability to both heat and cool, a heat pump is an economical choice for many climates. Combined with a furnace in an American Standard Heritage Hybrid™ comfort system, you have the ultimate flexibility for greater efficiency in all seasons.

Heritage® Hybrid™ Comfort System

An economical option for homes with gas and electricity available. If you live in a colder climate and have a gas/electric system, a heat pump can save you money on your heating bills*. A Heritage Hybrid™ comfort system combines a Heritage® Heat Pump with a Freedom® furnace, allowing you to respond to fluctuations in utility costs by switching between gas and electric heat

Two different energy sources for flexibility and savings.

An American Standard Heritage Hybrid™ comfort system provides you with everything you need to weather changes in utility costs. By combining an electric heat pump with an oil or natural gas furnace, you will not only save energy, but also get effective, efficient cooling in the summer months. Plus, you can precisely tailor an indoor/outdoor Heritage Hybrid™ comfort system to suit your climate and home by choosing two interconnected units: a furnace that’s placed inside your home and a heat pump outside your home.

Efficient and Flexible Energy System

No matter what the weather report says, you can be confident that your American Standard Heritage Hybrid™ comfort system will operate in the most economical mode. For example, on a chilly evening, the electric heat pump switches on to keep your home comfortable, efficiently drawing heat from the outside air. When the weather turns cold overnight, and heating with natural gas or oil becomes more efficient, the furnace takes over. Then if the temperature rises at midday, the heat pump will keep your home cozy and warm.
