Is a Heat Pump a Good Choice for Heating in Tallahassee?

Monday, October 7th, 2024

If you’re in the market for a new heating system for your home this fall, one option we strongly recommend you look into is a heat pump. Heat pumps are two-in-one systems that function as both cooling and heating systems. They can take over for both your old AC and your furnace.

However, you may have heard that heat pumps can run into trouble in the winter. After all, they must draw the heat they use to warm a house from outside—and they’ll only need to run when it’s cold outside. How can a heat pump possibly deliver energy-efficient heating for your home under these conditions?

We’ll explain below that heat pumps are actually ideal for our climate conditions, as well as some other info you need to know when making a choice about installing heat pumps in Tallahassee, FL.
