Heat Pumps

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are a great alternative to traditional furnaces, but they combine the best of both heating and cooling systems and they are installed inside versus outside the home. They are also very energy-efficient and can help to reduce your monthly heating and cooling bills. A heat pump works via electricity to take heat from a warm space and transfer it to a cold space and vice versa. Because they don’t generate heat, they can maintain a constant temperature inside your home.

Heat Pump Versus Gas Furnace - How Do They Differ?

The major difference between a gas furnace and a heat pump is in how they produce heat. Heat pumps run on electricity and move heat from one place to the next. Furnaces burn fuel to create heat, so heat pumps tend to be more energy-efficient because they do not burn fuel to run. Another difference between the two is in their environmental impact and energy efficiency. Heat pumps do not emit any harmful greenhouse gases that impact the environment, which means that they are more energy-friendly. Additionally, heat pumps cool your home too, so there is no need for an additional source for cooling.

Heat Pump Versus Air Conditioner - How Do They Differ?

Both air conditioners and heat pumps use energy to keep your home cool, using the same process without much difference in energy cost, energy efficiency, or comfort. The main differing factor is that a heat pump can both cool and heat your home, while an air conditioner cools only. Therefore, when you have an air conditioner, you also have to have a furnace heater.
