HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) is a term used in the heating and cooling industry.HSPF is specifically used to measure the efficiency of air source heat pumps.he higher the HSPF rating of a unit, the more energy efficient it is. HSPF is a ratio of BTU heat output over the heating season to watt-hours of electricity used. It has units of BTU/watt-hr. Depending on the system, an HSPF â¥ 8 can be considered high efficiency and worthy of a US Energy Tax Credit.
Heat Pumps are rate with two energy efficiency: HSPF is a measurement of Heat pumpâs energy efficiency over one heating season and the cooling efficiency of Heat Pump is measuring with Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating over one cooling season.hese measurements are in SEER (central air conditioner units, Heat Pump cooling season), EER (window unit), HSPF (Heat Pump), AFUE (Furnace, boilers) and COP (heat pump, chiller).
