- One system to tune up, service and repair
- No second system left idle until the first cold night

Switched to one system, comfortable year-round
Our old AC quit in July, and the 24/7 emergency AC repair kept us cool that week. When it came time to replace the furnace and AC together, we talked through both options at our kitchen table and chose the heat pump. Two summers in, the house is as cool as it's ever been.
We'd had a gas furnace for twenty years and figured we'd buy another. Our first winter with the heat pump, the house stayed warm on the coldest mornings, and the heat didn't come in blasts. It just held the temperature we set.
There's no gas line to our house, so a furnace would have meant putting one in. The heat pump runs on the power we already had, and financing let us spread out the cost of the new system.
