What HSPF2 Means for Auburn Homeowners
HSPF2 is the heating output rating for heat pumps. The DOE minimum is 7.5 for split systems. A cold-climate unit for Auburn should be 9 or higher. At that rating, the unit holds most of its heat output down into the mid-20s. Below that, a backup heat strip kicks in. Fresh Air picks the right HSPF2 tier so your backup strip runs rarely.
Auburn's summer heat also means you need strong cooling. A cold-climate unit does not trade cooling output for heating output. You get both. Fresh Air has served the Auburn area since 2009 and knows which brands perform best at foothill conditions.
