Heat Pump vs. Furnace: Which Is Better in East Texas?

East Texas climate makes the heat pump vs. gas furnace debate especially interesting. Here’s our take.

East Texas winters are mild but not always. We get cold snaps that drop into the 20s and even teens. So which heating system makes sense?

Heat pumps win on efficiency when temperatures are above 35°F — which is most of our heating season. They’re also great cooling systems in the summer.

Gas furnaces dominate in real cold. If you have natural gas service and want bulletproof heat during cold snaps, a gas furnace + AC combo is hard to beat.

Dual-fuel hybrid systems pair a heat pump with a gas furnace for the best of both worlds — efficiency in mild weather, brute force in cold weather.

Our installers will walk you through the operating cost math for your specific home before you sign anything.
