What is AHRI heat pump certification?

Modified on Wed, 29 Mar, 2023 at 1:26 PM

The AHRI (Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute) heat pump certification program is a voluntary program for manufacturers of heat pumps and related products. The program requires testing of the equipment by an independent laboratory to verify that it meets certain performance and energy efficiency standards established by the AHRI. The certification applies to both air-source and water-source heat pumps, and covers a range of equipment sizes and types.


The AHRI certification program is designed to provide assurance to consumers, specifiers, and regulators that the equipment being sold and installed meets the specified standards for performance and energy efficiency. It also provides a level of consistency and credibility to the industry by establishing a set of performance and energy efficiency standards that are universally recognized.


When purchasing a heat pump for your condo, it is important to look for the AHRI certification mark on the equipment or in the manufacturer's documentation. This indicates that the equipment has been independently tested and certified to meet the AHRI standards for performance and energy efficiency.
