But fall is just around the corner and with it comes cooler temps that will eventually slide us straight into winter.<\/p>\n<h3>Heat Pumps or Gas Furnaces<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning ahead (i.e., what all of you should be doing!!!), then thinking about heating systems is already on your mind. And with that comes the age-old heat pump vs. furnace debate!<\/p>\n<h3>Pros &amp; Cons<\/h3>\n<p>Heat pumps run on electricity whilst furnaces typically run on either gas, oil, or electricity (we\u2019ll dive into all three in October\u2014keep your eyes peeled!). What are some factors that should be considered when talking about options with customers?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Climate<\/li>\n<li>Budget<\/li>\n<li>Maintenance and size requirements<\/li>\n<li>Efficiency standards<\/li>\n<li>Safety<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Generally speaking, heat pumps produce less heat because they pull in heat from outside air and then transfer it indoors. So if you\u2019re working in a climate that trends towards warmer temperatures, then a heat pump is more than likely what you\u2019ll want to recommend to your customers. They\u2019re more versatile AND they can also act as air conditioners in the summer months.<\/p>\n<p>And while furnaces only provide heat, if you\u2019re working in a cold climate\u2014well then your customers are going to want to be toasty warm 24\/7. In climates that are colder than what a heat pump would work in, gas furnaces work and fare much better than some heat pumps when it comes to energy efficiency. Plus, with the lower cost of natural gas vs. electric costs (it\u2019s all relative these days, though), lifetime costs should be calculated as a win for this option!<\/p>\n<h3>Getting Down to Business<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to deciding on which is better suited, sometimes having a helping hand is well\u2026helpful!
