When you consider a Blueridge system, quality and value are a given. You’re getting peace of mind with great features and a smart design—and best of all, you get it right now. When you think about everything Blueridge delivers, your decision is easy. With Blueridge, all your heating and cooling questions are answered. The performance and reliability you want are right here, and ready to go to work.
Blueridge heat pumps are built in North America for an unbeatable combination of quality and price. They provide highly efficient, powerful cooling during hot weather, and when the weather turns cold, onboard technology reverses the refrigerant cycle to provide heat, and at a fraction of the cost of many alternative heat sources (particularily alternate forms of electric heat, propane, and fuel oil). Blueridge furnaces are built in North America and are designed for efficient and quiet operation along with ease of installation and maintenance.
This system is designed for an upflow application with the furnace standing up straight and blowing air into ducts above it, It consists of a heat pump, a gas furnace, evaporator coil.
This is a certified, high efficency, 16 SEER2 matching dual fuel system. A dual fuel system provides the best of both worlds. It will use energy efficient heat pump generated heat when the weather is cold outside and a dual fuel compatible thermostat (accessorized below) will switch off the heat pump and turn on the gas furnace on the coldest days. This combination provides optimal heating for your home regardless of the outdoor conditions and can save you anywhere from 10-30% on your heating bills.
The furnace is designed to use natural gas but it can be converted to use propane. The propane (lp) conversion kit and other install components are in Accessories section below.

These components were selected by HVAC specialists to maximize their performance and efficiency. This system is certified under AHRI # 210441172 to give you 16 SEER2
Please note that this heat pump comes pre-charged with R-410A liquid refrigerant and by Federal law cannot be released to the atmosphere. You can purchase this equipment without being EPA certified, and if you are mechanically inclined you may perform about 90% of the equipment installation yourself. However we strongly recommend to have a professional heating/cooling contractor do the final part of the installation including managing the refrigerant. An HVAC contractor has the tools and know-how to do this work. Also, having a contractor perform the final startup and inspection of this heat pump validates your warranty with Alpine.
