A two-stage heat pump, also known as a dual-stage heat pump, has a compressor with two intensity levels: high (100%) and low (typically 70%). The heat pump operates in the first stage for most of the year, cycling on and off at low speed. However, in extremely cold or hot temperatures, it switches to the second stage to operate at high speed and meet the demand. The heat pump automatically switches between these stages based on the temperature set on the thermostat.
Is it worth switching to a two-stage heat pump?
If you’re comfortable with the slightly higher initial cost of a two-stage heat pump, it’s definitely worth the investment. Over the life of the system, you can expect significant energy savings as well as the added benefits of a more comfortable home.
What is the efficiency of two-stage heat pumps?
A two stage heat pump is highly efficient, it consumes less electricity at lower speeds and runs for longer periods of time. Thanks to their long operating time, they efficiently circulate air throughout the house, minimizing the likelihood of uneven temperatures, humidity, or dry spots.
Once the desired temperature is reached, the system switches to the first stage and continues to operate. This dynamic cycle ensures that your home effectively maintains a constant temperature and humidity level.
