FAQ: Replacing an Old Gravity Furnace
| QUESTION: | I want to replace my old gravity furnace and
window air conditioners with a more efficient heating and cooling
system. Would a heat pump be a good option for me?
|
| ANSWER: | Given today's gas and electric prices, a heat pump will probably not only be a good option, it will be your best option. A high-efficiency heat pump could be installed as either an all-electric system or as an add-on to a new mid-efficiency (80%) gas furnace. Either way, it would provide you with lower-cost year-round comfort than either a gas furnace/air conditioner or electric resistance furnace/air conditioner combination. Installing a new qualifying heat pump might also qualify you for CWLP's Heat Pump Rebate. For more information about heat pumps, contact the CWLP Energy Services Office. |
