Is a Cold-Climate Heat Pump Right for You?

When homeowners in Racine and Kenosha think about heating, they usually picture a traditional gas furnace pushing air during harsh Wisconsin winters. Today, modern RUUD Cold Climate Heat Pumps paired with a gas furnace—a setup known as a Dual Fuel Heat Pump System—are transforming how local homeowners keep their homes comfortable and efficient all year long.

How Dual-Fuel Technology Works

A dual-fuel system combines an electric high-efficiency heat pump with a traditional gas furnace:

• Mild to Moderate Cold: The electric heat pump handles both heating and central air conditioning duties efficiently.
• Deep Freeze Conditions: During extreme lake-effect winter weather, the system automatically switches to your gas furnace for reliable, robust hot air.

Key Benefits of a RUUD Cold Climate Heat Pump

• Energy Savings: Heat pump efficiency is measured by SEER2, EER2, and HSPF2 ratings (similar to a vehicle's MPG). Higher ratings deliver lower monthly energy bills.
• Maximum Comfort: Inverter-driven, variable-speed twin rotary compressor technology operates between 45% and 100% capacity to match your exact heating and cooling needs, providing precise temperature and humidity control.
• Quiet Operation: Acoustic engineering features like optimized refrigerant tubing and specialized fan blades keep operation sound levels as low as 50dB.
• Reduced Emissions: Households generate 72% of greenhouse gas emissions; switching to a heat pump lowers your home's footprint starting day one.
• Year-Round Versatility: The heat pump doubles as a high-efficiency central air conditioner during the summer months.
• Peace-of-Mind Warranty: Backed by a 10-Year Conditional Parts Warranty when installed as a heat pump or as part of a complete system.
