Is your heating system giving you trouble? It may be time to consider having a new system installed that won’t require frequent repairs, can keep up with your heating needs, and won’t empty your wallet every time it gets cold out.
If you want to save money, it may be time to consider a heat pump installation for extreme efficiency.
Wondering if it’s time to replace instead of repair? Here are a few good reasons to take the next step and replace your heating system.
Constant repairs: Whether from old age or poor design, constant repairs suggest you need an upgrade.
Poor efficiency: Tired of burning way too much fuel? Upgrade to something more efficient.
Can’t keep you comfortable: Whether it’s too small, too old, or pushing out air that’s too dry, it’s time to replace any heating system that leaves you uncomfortable.
Pricey repair quote: If repairs are going to cost you big, don’t waste that money on a temporary fix when upgrading makes more sense.
So, you’re thinking about installing a heat pump, either as an addition to your existing HVAC system or as a furnace replacement.
Heat pumps are shockingly efficient; a highly efficient furnace might hit 95% efficiency, 98% if it’s electric, whereas a heat pump can achieve heating equal to 300% of the energy you put into it. Whether you’re interested in saving the environment, your wallet, or both, it’s a great improvement.
If you find the intensely dry heat of your furnace unpleasant in the winter, a heat pump will be a welcome change. The air produced by a heat pump is warm but not hot, and naturally more humid than what a furnace puts out. No more dry skin, eyes, or nose when it gets really cold.
Lastly, a heat pump doesn’t just improve your winter energy efficiency; it can reverse in the summer to provide highly efficient cooling just as easily. A two-for-one for saving you money.

You’ll want to take a few factors into account, so you can give our team the best chance of leaving you satisfied with your purchase. Heat pumps come at a few different levels of efficiency and throughput, with improvements in each costing you more for the initial installation.
You may also consider whether you want to rely on a heat pump as your sole source of heat or add a furnace as backup in case it gets too cold for your heat pump to keep your home warm enough. You may also consider the same for your cooling in the summer.
If you’re considering a ductless system, plan how you want to handle your interior units. A ductless heat pump can give you room-by-room temperature control if you want it, but you’ll need interior units for each.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions we receive about heat pumps include:
Heat pumps can heat an entire home, but several factors should be considered to ensure you get the right heat pump. There are single-zone and multi-zone systems; the size of the home, the number of floors, your heating needs, and your installation location should be factored into the decision.
It’s best to consult a professional to ensure you get the right heating system to meet the needs of your home and family.
It’s not recommended that you attempt to replace a heat pump yourself. You risk improper installation, damages, and a voided warranty. When you hire a professional HVAC company, you can ensure your system will be properly installed.
When properly installed and maintained, heat pumps can last an average of 15 years. Annual routine maintenance is recommended to extend the life of your heat pump and keep it in quality condition.
Ultimately, it will depend on your type of heat pump, the weather conditions in your location, and your home’s insulation. With the appropriate heat pump, it’s not necessary to have a furnace.
