Why choose a heat pump versus an air conditioner?

Air conditioning units have a sole function which is to cool the air. They must be used in combination with a furnace or other heating solution.

A heat pump is a different type of equipment that acts as both an air conditioner and heat source. When a heat pump is run in reverse, it can provide you with a second heating option other than conventional gas systems. Most modern heat pumps can provide heat all winter long, even during our tough Minnesota weather.
