Furnaces vs. Heat Pumps vs. Dual-Fuel Comfort Systems

Furnaces

A furnace works by burning fuel like propane, natural gas, or oil to produce heat. That heat is combined with air that circulates through your home to warm it. Because a furnace only creates heat, you’ll need to have a separate air conditioning system for the warmer months.

Heat Pumps

A heat pump is very similar to an air conditioner, but it has the added benefit of offering both heating and cooling. In the summer, a heat pump will perform just like a standard central air unit and provide cooling and humidity control. In the winter, the opposite happens. The unit draws heat from the outside air and brings it inside to keep your home warm and cozy.

Dual-Fuel Comfort Systems

A dual-fuel system consists of both a heat pump and a furnace. This system utilizes the heat pump during hot or mild temperatures to cool your home and uses the furnace during colder temperatures to warm your interior spaces. It switches between the two depending on which is more efficient for the current situation, which ends up saving time and energy in getting your home to the ideal temperature.
