Absolutely. The Tri-Valley climate is ideal for heat pump operation. Winters rarely dip below freezing, which is the temperature range where heat pump efficiency drops significantly. Most days, a heat pump will outperform a gas furnace in terms of operating cost.
What is the difference between a heat pump and an AC?
An AC only cools. A heat pump can both cool and heat by reversing the refrigerant cycle. In cooling mode, they are essentially identical. The main difference is the reversing valve that allows heat pumps to switch between heating and cooling.
