Many Ann Arbor, MI homeowners replacing an aging furnace and AC are switching to a single heat pump instead, and the reason is efficiency. A heat pump does not burn fuel or heat a resistance coil; it moves heat. In cooling mode it carries heat out of the house, and in heating mode a reversing valve sends the refrigerant the other way so the compressor gathers heat from outdoor air and releases it indoors. That lets it deliver two to three times more heat than the electricity it consumes. Modern cold-climate equipment with inverter-driven compressors keeps working well below freezing, which the older units behind the technology's old reputation simply could not do.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.

- Your AC and furnace are both aging and you would rather replace once, not twice
- Simpler ownership, with one outdoor unit handling both seasons
- High heating bills from electric baseboard, propane, or oil
- Local utility rebates make a heat pump switch more affordable
- You are electrifying the house or pairing major loads with solar
- Your current system leaves rooms too warm in summer and too cool in winter
