Find the heat pump that fits your home

The best-of lists rank by one number. But the right heat pump for you depends on your home's size, how cold it gets, and whether you have ducts. Answer three questions and we'll match you to the certified units that actually fit — ranked by the number that matters for your climate, with real installed-cost ranges and where to buy.

Cold → we rank by 5°F performance.
Ductless = wall-mounted heads.

Your matches

Picks are real units from our certified corpus, matched to your inputs and ranked by a single verifiable metric — COP at 5°F for cold climates (how much heat it still moves when it's frigid) or SEER2 for milder ones (cooling efficiency) — never an opinion score. Size is a ballpark from square footage; confirm it with a Manual J-style estimate and your installer. Installed ranges are national figures from our cost data. Units sold under several brand names appear once.
