There are enough different configurations in HVAC systems to confuse even someone who was relatively familiar with them. If you have no familiarity with them and you’re just a homeowner looking for a deal, then a spot of confusion is about par for the course.

In your research and rambling, if you have done any, you will probably have come across terms like heat pump, air handler, gas pack, split system, ductless mini split, and even more dense and confusing terms. With a little digging you can see how each of them works and what their relative virtues are - and one of these is a 1.5 ton heat pump package unit.

So the question at hand is as follows - can a 1.5 ton heat pump package unit cut it for your home? Here are some of the draws of a heat pump package unit like one of these:

1. Heat pumps are energy efficient - The main draw of heat pumps is that they are energy efficient, so in many situations a heat pump may be able to save your home money on heating and cooling.

2. Heat pumps have long lifespans - For whatever reason, heat pumps and systems that include heat pumps have some of the longest lifespans as far as HVAC systems are concerned. This is a welcome notice for many homeowners who would otherwise be turned off by their high up-front costs.

3. They provide for heating as cooling - Another big draw of heat pumps and heat pump packaged systems is that the heat pump itself can provide for both heating and cooling, eliminating the need for more complex systems with more components.

Now, even after having made these admissions, it bears noting that though a heat pump package unit can provide for air conditioning and heating and will do so efficiently, the raw power of a heat pump is not on the same level as some other alternatives.

What that means, explicitly, is that a heat pump system will both heat and cool, but it will not offer the same abject power in heating as a gas furnace or the same cooling power as a dedicated air conditioning unit.

The other thing to keep in mind is that despite the benefits listed above, there is no quick answer as to whether or not a heat pump package unit of this size will adequately heat and cool your home. To determine that efficiently you will have to work with the professionals.
