Questions
Do heat pumps work in cold climates?
Modern cold-climate heat pumps can heat in very low temperatures, often with backup heat for the coldest days. Ask the contractor about models suited to your area.
What is a dual-fuel system?
A heat pump paired with a gas or propane furnace, which takes over in very cold weather.
Does a heat pump need ductwork?
Central heat pumps use ducts. Ask the contractor what the home needs.
