Rental property, new heat pump. What is "TYPE OF ASSET" for this new equipment? Is it "J - Qualified Rental Improvements"?

I'm looking at Sched E Asset Entry Worksheet #4

No, a heat pump is considered a component of the property itself.

As such, it is depreciated over 27.5 years for a residential rental property. This means it will be categorized as I – Residential Rental.

For your reference, take a look at IRS Publication 527. There is a handy table on page 9 of the document.
