How do electric heat pumps compare to other traditional heating and cooling equipment?

  • Warmer. Heat pumps provide warmth more efficiently than conventional oil, propane, or electric resistance heating systems.
  • Cooler. Heat pumps cool more efficiently when summer temperatures climb.
  • Comfier and cozier. Heat pumps provide quiet, even heating and cooling throughout your home or business.
  • Easier. Heat pumps require minimal maintenance.
  • Cleaner, healthier, and safer. There is no combustion of fossil fuels, fuel storage, or carbon monoxide emissions associated with heat pumps.
