What's a heat pump? Do i need it if i already have a furnace?


If there’s one product that causes a lot of confusion among consumers, it’s the heat pump.

So let’s break down what a heat pump is, the benefits it offers, and heat pump installation.

What is a heat pump?

A heat pump is a smart, efficient and versatile way to heat and cool your home. Heat pumps function as an air conditioner when it’s hot and a heater when it’s cold.

Benefits of a heat pump

If you already have a furnace, a heat pump can act as a partner to the furnace and provide you with a heating system that’s off-the-charts in terms of efficiency. During the winter, when the outdoor temperature drops below the heat pumps capabilities, the furnace automatically takes over, switching back and forth, to whichever source provides the greatest efficiency. For the majority of the year, the electric heat pump protects your wallet with superior efficiency. While both electric and gas fueled heating systems each have a few disadvantages, a dual system compensates to provide the absolute best of both.
