Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a furnace and a heat pump?
Both furnaces and heat pumps are used to keep your home warm. Furnaces are some of the oldest heating devices still used to keep residential homes warm. They convert a fuel source, such as natural gas, oil, electricity, or induction, into heat.
Heat pumps are part of a central heating and cooling system. They use electricity or natural gas and refrigerant to convert heat from outside air inside your home to keep it warm in the winter and remove hot air from inside your home to keep it cool in the summer.
