Benefits of Electric Heat Pumps Over Gas Furnaces

Monday, November 14th, 2022

If you need a new heating system for your home, you may be comparing the pros and cons of electric heat pumps over gas furnaces. How do the two systems differ, and what makes one a better choice than the other? Perhaps the biggest difference is the fact that one uses electricity and the other uses gas.

Electric heat pumps are more efficient than gas furnaces because 100% of the energy your electric heat pump uses goes directly into producing heat for your home. A gas furnace loses up to a quarter of its fuel to combustion, meaning that less of the energy actually produces heat. If you’re interested in electric heat pumps in Farmington, NM, our team can help. In the meantime, you can keep reading to learn more about the benefits of an electric heat pump.

How to Tell Your Insulation Needs Help

Monday, June 27th, 2022

Did you know that the insulation in your home is important year-round?

We often think of insulation as something we want around only in the wintertime to keep out the cold. And while that is exactly the kind of thing good housing insulation does, it can work the other way too.

A home with good insulation can keep the heat and humidity out of your home for longer, improving your comfort. Or, at least, it should. If you have started to notice the house is heating up faster or maybe there are areas of the home that have hot spots, it may be a sign something is wrong with your home’s insulation.
