Furnace vs. heat pump: which one is right for my house?
A furnace is at less risk of breaking down than a heat pump, as it has fewer mechanical parts. It also typically requires less maintenance and has a longer lifespan. Heat pumps, however, are more efficient and usually cheaper to install. Heat pump systems are generally more cost-effective in mild climates because they source heat from outside air, while furnaces are more cost-effective for cold winters, as heating efficiency is not impacted by the outdoor temperature.
