Energy Efficient HVAC Options for Virginia Homeowners
In warmer months, the heat pump acts as an air conditioner to cool your home. When temperatures drop, the heat pump switches to a heating mode.
But when temperatures reach freezing, the heat pump can’t keep up. That’s when the gas furnace takes over, heating your home fall, winter, and spring.
Something to bear in mind when exploring your options—chose a variable speed, high efficiency heat pump. It will perform better and longer than a single stage unit.

Reduce Energy Waste Without Sacrificing Comfort
With a dual-fuel heating system, you’ll reduce energy waste, but you won’t sacrifice comfort! In fact, a heat pump is more energy efficient than a central air conditioner.
Heat pumps create more cool and warm air by volume, which is more energy than it takes to run them. That makes them more energy efficient than central AC.
