Making the switch from gas heat to a heat pump could mean big savings on your energy bills! Not only that, but you could also qualify for a $3,000 rebate by making the switch. If your home has gas heat, upgrading to a heat pump could be the perfect solution for keeping your energy bills under control and still enjoying all of the benefits that come with heating your house and helping the environment.
Benefits of a Heat Pump vs. Gas
There are a number of benefits to upgrading to an electric heat pump. First and foremost, electric heat pumps are much more energy-efficient than gas heating systems. They help you save a lot of money on your energy bills. Additionally, electric heat pumps don’t produce any emissions, making them a more environmentally friendly option than gas heating. Finally, electric heat pumps often come with warranty and rebate programs, making them a more affordable option in the long run.
Cost of Electric Heat Pumps vs. Gas Heat
When it comes to comparing the costs of gas and electric heat pumps, it’s important to consider a few different factors. First, electric heat pumps are often cheaper to buy and install. The average price for a new gas heater is between $1,200 and $2,400, while an electric heat pump is generally in the range of $700 to $2,000. Installation for a natural furnace can range around $5,500, while an electric heat pump installation is often around $3,000.
The monthly cost of operating a furnace is often less than an electric heat pump; however, a homeowner must also take the improved efficiency of the heat pump into consideration. Plus, California is offering amazing incentives to switch to heat pumps as a way to balance out the cost.
Ultimately, the best way to determine which type of heat pump is right for your home is to compare the costs and benefits of both options. Contact a local contractor to learn more about the cost and efficiency of electric vs. gas heating systems.
