RESIDENTIAL HEAT PUMPS feature Copeland^® Compliant Scroll^® Compressors for proven efficiency, noise reduction, and reliable performance. But that's just the beginning.

HEAT PUMP vs. AIR CONDITIONER. When cooling, a heat pump and a central air conditioner operate the same. Each one cleans, dehumidifies, cools, and circulates air indoors. In a heat pump's heating mode, however, the process is reversed. The same cooling refrigerant that helps cool your home in summer absorbs heat from the outdoor air and transfers it to the indoor coil, efficiently heating your home even on the coldest days.

COMPREHENSIVE RANGE. RUUD manufactures a range of energy-efficient, durable heat pumps to suit almost any application. With 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 SEER cooling ratings, 6.8 to 8.7 HSPF heating efficiencies, available capacities between 1.5 and 5.0 tons, chances are we have a heat pump that suits your needs perfectly.

COPELAND^® COMPLIANT^® SCROLL COMPRESSORS bring you the smoothest, quietest, most efficient compressor technology ever invented, and it's standard issue on the entire RUUD^® residential air conditioning and heat pump line.

Copeland Compliant Scroll Compressors represent a significant advancement in compressor design, offering higher levels of efficiency and durability. So much so, they have a 5-year warranty! Old-fashioned reciprocating compressors use pistons and valves to compress and move gas, but with a scroll compressor, these noisy, high-wear moving parts are eliminated.

SIMPLE OPERATION. Two spiral-shaped members fit together, forming crescent-shaped gas pockets. One member remains stationary, while the other is allowed to orbit around it. Gas is drawn into the outer pocket created by the 2 members, sealing off the open passage. As the spiral motion continues, higher gas pressures are created, forcing the gas through the discharge point at the center of the scroll.

SMOOTH AND QUIET. Several pockets of gas are compressed simultaneously for a quiet, smooth, nearly continuous compression cycle.

RELIABLE. Copeland's Compliant Scroll Compressors use axial compliance to create a continuous seal so the unit actually "wears in" over time to improve its operating characteristics and actually reduce compressor sound.
