If you're asking yourself right now, Should I get a Gas Furnace or Heat Pump System, it will depend on a couple things.  Watch this quick one-minute video that might help you decide.

A gas/electric system is probably the most popular system in our area.  They use natural gas, or in some rural areas, LP Gas.  The gas is used to fuel the flame that heats up the furnace.  Of course, the air conditioner runs on electricity. This is why they’re called gas/electric systems.

A heat pump system is used in areas where gas isn’t available.  Also, with the way things are looking, all-electric heat pump systems will soon be the way a lot of states mandate fuel usage when it comes to heating and air. 
 
Anyways, heat pumps use the indoor unit and the outdoor unit together, whether in air conditioning mode or heating mode.  It’s all-electric, which means no emissions.  These conventional-style heat pumps aren’t the most efficient systems in the world though.
