The Mathematical Scam of Premium Heat Pumps
from Cool Talk with Hartzell's | Your HVAC Questions, Answered!
Give Use A ShoutI get asked about HSPF2 ratings all the time, and the national brochures never give you the real answer for Oklahoma. Too low and you waste money on the power bill for 15 years. Too high and you overpay on the install and never see the payback. For most Central Oklahoma homes, the sweet spot is 8.5 to 9.5 HSPF2 with a two-stage or variable speed unit sized to a Manual J load calc. I walk through real operating cost numbers at each efficiency tier, where the payback math goes thin, and what the OG&E rebate threshold means for your choice.
