What is more efficient to heat my home in the winter, a gas furnace or a heat pump?
A heat pump far surpasses the gas furnace in energy efficiency and even when gas prices were much cheaper, it was far less expensive to a heat pump than a gas furnace. An air-source heat pump can provide efficient heating and cooling for your home, especially in this hot humid climate. When properly installed, an air-source heat pump can deliver one-and-a-half to three times more heat energy to a home than the electrical energy it consumes. This is possible because a heat pump moves heat rather than converting it from a fuel, like in combustion heating systems. Take a look at the comparison of a heat pump to a gas furnace .
