What is the advantage of using a heat pump?
The newer variable speed Trane heat pump systems not only work like an air conditioner but they also extract heat from the air and can be used to heat your home and only use your back up furnace if the outside air temperature is below 15 degrees or so. This means you are using much less electricity to heat your home. In most cases you will save over 80% in heating costs compared to a standard gas furnace system.
