You may look at the title of this post and squint your eyes. \u201cHuh? Why would I replace a furnace<\/em> with something that does the exact opposite of a furnace? Besides, I already have<\/em> an air conditioning system.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, what we\u2019re proposing makes more sense than you may realize\u2026 if the air conditioning system you use to replace your furnace is a heat pump. A heat pump is, essentially, an air conditioner: it operates through the same action of cycling refrigerant from a compressor and through two sets of coils to move heat from one place to another. But there is this important difference: through a component called a reversing valve, a heat pump can change the direction it moves heat and work as a heating system as well. Instead of removing heat from inside of a home, it moves heat inside from the outside. You won\u2019t need a furnace (or boiler) with a heat pump in your home.<\/p>\n

Why replacing a furnace with a heat pump is a good idea<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve already mentioned the main heat pump advantage: you have cooling as well as heating. This means you only need to install one system and it takes up less space than having an air conditioner and a furnace packaged together.<\/p>\n

A heat pump, aside from delivering cooling at the level of the best air conditioners, provides more energy-efficient heating than a furnace. A furnace must burn fuel to generate heat, where a heat pump uses a modicum of electricity to run its mechanisms to move<\/em> heat. Government studies have shown that a family of four will save, on average, 30% from their heating bills over a winter after the switch from furnace to heat pump.<\/p>\n

Heat pumps are also safer. If you have concerns about a gas furnace overheating or leaking toxic carbon monoxide, you won\u2019t have any worries with a heat pump. Heat pumps don\u2019t even have hot exteriors that children might hurt themselves on.<\/p>\n
