What is the SEER2 ans HSPF2 rating ?
The new SEER2 and HSPF2 standard: an evolution in the energy efficiency of air conditioning systems
The new SEER2 standard (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) is a measure of the energy efficiency of air conditioning and heating systems. This standard replaces the old SEER measurement and aims to encourage manufacturers to develop more energy-efficient equipment and help consumers make more sustainable air conditioning choices. From January 1, 2023, SEER and HSPF will no longer be the standard. Instead, each new air conditioner...
What is the COP of a heat pump?
How is the COP calculated on a heat pump? If you're looking for a wall-mounted or central heat pump, you've probably heard the word or abbreviation COP. The term COP stands for Coefficient of Performance. The COP is actually a ratio of energy consumption versus the amount of heat produced by a heat pump or other device. Each device is evaluated according to their heating performance using the COP. In other words, the higher the COP, the more the device...
Inverter compressor technology
What is an Inverter Compressor?
The word "Inverter" is a technology that allows the compressor to modulate the cooling output of your air conditioning system. The majority of air conditioning systems today have inverter technology and here's why: Â Indoor temperature accuracyThanks to the capacity modulation of the compressor, the temperature will be more stable, because the temperature sensor indicates to the indoor unit the required capacity. Superior energy savingThe compressor will significantly reduce its power when the temperature is reached and will provide...
The static pressure of a ventilation system
What is the static pressure of a ventilation system used for?
Measuring the total external static pressure of a ventilation system is extremely important. This assesses the existing duct system and installation conditions. This simple test can help you uncover problems associated with restricted duct systems that are invisible to those who don't measure. Here is the easiest way to explain the static pressure of a ventilation system. This way is to compare it to blood pressure. This comparison is a great...

How a heat pump works
During the heating season, a heat pump can be very economical in terms of energy consumption if it is well chosen according to your needs. Heat pump air conditioning units heat your home using heat from the air and heat from the refrigerant. The majority of the heating power of your heat pump is produced thanks to the compressor which circulates the refrigerant in the refrigeration circuit. The refrigerant is a liquid which has several...
