Recommended unit for Sherwood
Given Arkansas’s mixed-humid climate and mixed heating, high-seer2 heat pump is the sensible default for most Sherwood homes. With a long, hard cooling season here, stepping up the SEER2 tier pays back through lower summer bills. A pro can confirm the right size and system for your home with a load calculation.
