Gas heat pumps

Gas heat pumps are an energy-efficient, cold-climate heating solution for homeowners and businesses—offering significant gas savings, reduced emissions, and reliable comfort, even on the coldest days.

An energy-efficient solution for your property

Whether you are a homeowner or a property manager of commercial and multifamily buildings, gas heat pumps offer you excellent benefits and top performance in every season. Explore how this exciting technology can support your building type by starting the interactive video experience below.

Savings on heating bills

Reduce your heating costs with energy-efficient gas heat pumps without sacrificing comfort.

Integrated solution

Gas heat pumps can replace conventional furnaces or boilers and also serve as a central component in delivering both space heating and hot water.

Environmental sustainability

Gas heat pumps can cut your property’s emissions and reduce overall environmental impacts. These state-of-the-art systems can also be powered with net-zero fuels, supporting net-zero emissions goals.

Peace of mind

Gas heat pumps can deliver performance you can trust. They supply heating and hot water without using backup heat – even in temperatures as low as minus 40°F.

Annual Heating Cost

Test case: 1,600 sqft single family home in Chicago

AFUE – Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency – is the ratio of heat delivered to fuel consumed for gas heating systems. The higher the AFUE, the more efficient the heat pump.

HSPF – Heating Season Performance Factor -measures the heating efficiency of an electric heat pump. The higher the HSPF, the more efficient the heat pump.

  • A cold climate electric heat pump is more than 2x more costly to operate than a gas heat pump.
  • Graphs do not include upfront equipment and installation costs.
