Furnaces
If you’re looking for a heater that is exclusively used for heating, you have two different options when it comes to furnaces. You can either install an electric furnace or a gas furnace. An electric furnace uses burners to produce heat, while a gas furnace releases gas into a chamber where a flame ignites to use combustion as a way of creating heat for your home.
Either of these solutions are fantastic, and it really comes down to your preference for whether you want to use gas or electricity.
Heat Pumps
A heat pump offers both heating and cooling within the same system. This is an excellent solution for homes in our area. Instead of having to invest in an entirely separate heater, you can have an all-in-one solution that saves space and even boosts energy efficiency.
Heat pumps don’t need to consume as much energy for producing heat. Where a furnace is creating heat, a heat pump is simply transferring it from one place to another. Refrigerant cycles outside your home through the outdoor unit to absorb some of the heat in the air, and then brings that heat back inside.
Having a heat pump in the summer is comparable to having a central air conditioner. However, compared to other heating options, a heat pump really gets a boost in efficiency in the winter. You will save money on heating your home in the winter, especially when you invest in a high-efficiency model.
Keep in mind that since the heat pump operates all year round without any off-season, you need to schedule maintenance twice each year. This is the best way to prevent unexpected repair needs and keep your heat pump optimized for the best results.
