Why Choose Gulf Stream

WHY A GULFSTREAM POOL HEATER!

The GulfStream family of Super-Quiet, High Efficiency Heat Pumps are AHRI Certified.
What is AHRI, who are they? AHRI stands for the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute. This institute operates to standardize the testing and performance data for all heat pumps. Originally, AHRI covered only the Air Conditioning industry. As you know, there are very strict standards and performance requirements for the Air Conditioning Industry. Seer Ratings and Performance data must be factual, accurate and verified.

The Heat Pump Industry is a new industry that was not governed or standardized by ANY group, institutes or standards. This meant that manufacturer's could report any numbers they wanted to. There was no law or standard requiring them to perform standard tests or answer to any higher authority. So if a heat pump manufacturer reported that his unit is a 120,000 BTU unit, the next guy could simply state. "Well mine is 130,000" whether it was or not!

That's not good news to the consumer-that's you! You were basically being asked to "trust" the numbers that manufacturer's decided to publish. The news for consumers has now changed to GOOD NEWS! Why? Because the heat pump industry has now fallen under the wing of AHRI, and AHRI strictly monitors the data reported on heat pump manufacturers. They not only monitor and verify the data, they actually perform the test on units for ALMOST all the heat pump manufacturer's.
