Heat pump or gas furnace: which is right for a Northern Virginia home?

Both work well here. The right choice depends on your home, your fuel and your budget.

Northern Virginia's mild winters make heat pumps a strong choice for many homes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps heat efficiently well below freezing.

Gas furnaces deliver hotter air and can cost less to run where natural gas is available and inexpensive.

Dual-fuel systems pair a heat pump with a gas furnace and switch automatically to whichever is cheaper to run at the current outdoor temperature.
