Key Takeaways

  • Heat pumps offer energy-efficient heating and cooling, making them a cost-effective choice despite higher upfront costs.
  • Furnaces, which burn fuel to generate heat, may perform better in extremely cold climates but often have higher operating costs over time.
  • Both systems require regular maintenance: heat pumps need more frequent upkeep, while furnaces should undergo annual professional inspections to prevent safety risks.

Heat Pump Installation

Heat pumps offer both heating and cooling by transferring heat, making them energy-efficient and suitable for year-round comfort. They are particularly effective in moderate climates and can reduce energy consumption compared to traditional systems.

Furnace Installation

Furnaces generate heat by burning fuel and are often preferred in colder climates due to their reliable heat output. While they may have higher operating costs over time, they provide consistent warmth during harsh winters.
