Due to their high efficiency – three to five times higher than gas – annual energy costs for heat pumps are much lower. Upfront equipment costs can also be lower because heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one unit and they qualify for a number of government rebate programs. What is “Natural” gas, really?
