  • What is the average lifespan of an HVAC system?

    The typical HVAC system will last approximately 20 years with proper maintenance and care.
  • What is the difference between a heat pump and a furnace?

    Heat pumps deliver greater energy efficiency (200-400%) and provide both heating and cooling functions, making them well-suited for moderate climate regions. Furnaces, however, deliver more intense and consistent heating in extremely cold conditions by burning gas or oil.
  • What is the difference between a heat pump and an air conditioner?

    The main distinction between these HVAC systems is functionality: a heat pump can both heat and cool your home, whereas an air conditioner is limited to cooling only.
