Gas Heat Pumps

Gas heat pumps utilize natural gas to efficiently heat your home, offering a much more energy efficient alternative to conventional heating systems like furnaces, as well as to electric heat pumps. By leveraging the power of natural gas, gas heat pumps provide reliable warmth and hot water while significantly reducing your heating bills and your carbon footprint.

A gas heat pump system consists of an outdoor unit connected to an air handler that replaces the furnace inside the home. A hot water storage tank can also be connected to create a combined system that meets all the home’s space heating and hot water needs.

1. Energy Efficiency: Gas heat pumps are the most efficient heating system in our territories. They are over 40% more efficient than the most efficient furnaces and maintain high efficiency even in extreme cold temperatures. Unlike cold climate electric heat pumps, gas heat pumps do not require back up heat sources when temperature drops, providing reliable and consistent heating throughout the coldest months.
2. Cost Savings: Gas heat pumps are the lowest cost heating option in our territories, provide long-term savings without compromising on comfort or convenience. Gas heat pumps can reduce heating bills by as much as 50%.
3. Easy Installation: Gas heat pumps fit in the same space as the existing furnace and connect to existing ductwork.
4. Improved Comfort: Enjoy consistent and comfortable heating throughout your home, along with reliable and ample hot water even when the outdoor temperature is minus 40°F – with no backup required.
5. Environmental Responsibility: Gas heat pumps are the lowest greenhouse gas emitting heating option in our service territories, lower even than cold climate electric heat pumps.
6. Versatility: Efficient water heating can be added any time, providing flexibility to suit your specific needs and preferences.
