McKinsey & Company reports that today’s heat pumps are 2.2 to 4.5 times more efficient than gas furnaces. And they are a perfect fit for the hot summers and mild winters that we experience here in North Carolina.
High efficiency heat pumps, like the Trane XV20i and the Trane XL17i, can operate in temperatures as low as 0 degrees Fahrenheit. And for those days when temperatures get unusually cold, we recommend a supplemental gas furnace or electric heat to keep your comfort high and your energy costs low.
Having an efficient and reliable heating and cooling system is essential if you want your home to stay comfortable throughout the year. A high quality heat pump is an excellent choice for most homeowners.

You can think of a heat pump as a reversible air conditioner. In summer it will take heat from inside your home and move it outdoors. In winter the process is reversed, and your heat pump will take heat from outside your home and move it indoors. Heat pumps function like a combined furnace and central air conditioner, and they are efficient in both hot and cold weather.
Because heat pumps absorb and move ambient heat rather than burning fuel to generate it, they are also environmentally friendly. They are powered by electricity and are relatively easy to install in many homes.
A heat pump won’t be a perfect fit for every home, but the technology is worth considering any time you need to replace or upgrade part of your HVAC system. The experts at Scott Comfort Systems can help you select the right replacement HVAC system for you, your family, and your budget.
Starting in 2023, under the Inflation Reduction Act*, homeowners may be eligible for a Federal income tax credit of 30% of the cost, up to $2,000, for heat pumps in accordance with section 25C of the US tax code. IMPORTANT: Only certain heat pump models qualify for the tax credit, and you must have a tax liability from which to reduce your taxes. Consult your tax advisor for advice.
*The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is the largest ever climate investment by the Federal Government in American history, projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 31% to 44% below the 2005 levels by 2030.
