Thank you Bill in Texas. Another successful Gulfstream heat pump installation. Homeowners have a right to accurate efficiency information. This is especially true for energy consuming appliances used in the home, such as air conditioners and now pool heat pumps. As of December 8, 2006 Florida Building Code acknowledges pool heat pumps to meet code requirements. The new testing standards are tough. Testing was previously done in an environment of 80ºF with 80% humidity. Then achieve 80ºF water temperature. Heat pumps now must be tested in an environment of 50ºF, 63% humidity, and then achieve 80ºF. Specific minimal efficiencies must be met at these colder conditions. The GulfStream has not only met the minimum requirements, but has exceeded them! Florida’s building industry is one of the most powerful, influential and lucrative sources of commerce in Florida. When it comes to code and compliancy, safe is better than sorry when considering future legal and/or financial complications. DOING YOUR HEAT PUMP HOMEWORK ?

The GulfStream family of Super-Quiet, High Efficiency Heat Pumps are AHRI Certified. What is AHRI, who are they? AHRI stands for the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute. This institute operates to standardize the testing. Performance data for all heat pumps. Originally, AHRI covered only the Air Conditioning industry. As you know, there are very strict standards and performance requirements for the Air Conditioning Industry. Seer Ratings and Performance data must be factual, accurate and verified. The Heat Pump Industry is a new industry that was not governed or standardized by ANY group, institutes or standards. This meant that manufacturer’s could report any numbers they wanted to. There was no law or standard requiring them to perform standard tests or answer to any higher authority. So if a heat pump manufacturer reported that his unit is a 120,000 BTU unit, the next guy could simply state “Well mine is 130,000” - whether it was or not! That’s not good news to the consumer - that’s you!
