What to Look for in a 3 Ton Heat Pump

It may not be a widely quoted pithy-aphorism, but no two examples in a 3-ton heat pump are created equal. Each unit has its own strength and weaknesses; the qualities that endear it as well as those that can be improved.

In the event that you have worked with a specialist and have determined that a 3-ton heat pump is adequate for the setting of your home, then the only thing that is left to do is pick one out. There are a number of ways to go about this, but we won’t focus on the brand, rather on the qualities that a heat pump can offer you to improve their functionality, capability, and service. Start here, and if you have any questions reach out to a specialist or contact our team.

Capacity

The first thing of which to ensure yourself is that the heat pump offers you the capacity you need to heat and cool your home, although you have probably already gotten that far in deciding that a 3-ton unit is big enough in the first place. However, this is the most important consideration to make because if the unit you choose doesn’t offer enough capacity, none of the traits that follow will matter.

Durability

You also will want to look for a model that is durable and designed to last season through season, despite the effects of the weather or hard use. You can find examples of a 3-ton heat pump right here on our website that are built with durability and performance-enhancing features. Look for features like lug connections, aluminum coils that will resist corrosion, tough cabinets and insulative features and other features like screwless construction as a part of the cabinet. Features like this might seem somewhat non-impactful at best but actually can go a long way toward reducing condensation related damage and corrosion.

Efficiency

You should also take some time to assure yourself of the efficiency of the motors and other internal components. For example, many of our heat pumps come with factory-installed multi-speed ECM blower motors and thermal expansion valves. In general, the more efficient a unit is the less it will cost you in the long run, which reminds us of another set of traits to look for that will save you money over time.

Ease of Maintenance

A unit that offers you features that are designed to make maintenance easier will go almost as far as features that are designed to improve the durability of a model. Oftentimes maintenance is the trickiest part of extending the life of an HVAC appliance because of the level of skill involved and the difficulty of addressing minute parts - just like with maintenance on a car. Look for units with easy to access panels for diagnosis and models as well as features that streamline the process of maintenance.

Variability

One more thing to look for its variability; it might be hard to define but it can make the unit you choose a lot more compatible with your home. For example, some units offer a number of different footprint configurations or blower motors that are operable in a number of directions. All of these things can enhance the performance of a 3-ton heat pump and improve efficiency.
