| Feature | Heat Pump | Furnace |
|---|---|---|
| Heating & Cooling | Provides both heating and cooling in one system — no need for a separate A/C. | Heats only; requires a separate air conditioner for cooling. |
| Energy Source | Uses electricity to transfer heat from the air — far more efficient than burning fuel. | Burns natural gas, propane, or oil to create heat — less efficient overall. |
| Efficiency | Can deliver 3–4× more heat energy than the electricity it consumes, resulting in major long-term savings. | Converts only about 80–95% of fuel into heat; the rest is lost as exhaust. |
| Environmental Impact | Produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions, especially when powered by renewable electricity. | Emits CO₂ and other combustion gases — not as eco-friendly. |
| Maintenance | Requires simple annual maintenance to stay efficient year-round. | Needs frequent cleaning, filter changes, and safety checks for gas components. |
| Comfort Control | Offers zoned temperature control and consistent, even heat throughout your home. | Heats in short bursts, often creating uneven temperatures. |
| Lifespan | Lasts about 15–20 years with proper maintenance. | Typically lasts around 15 years, with efficiency decreasing over time. |
| Rebates & Incentives | Eligible for up to $7,500 in Ontario rebates for qualifying installations. | Limited or no rebates for gas or oil furnaces. |
| Upfront Cost | Higher initial cost, but offset by rebates and lower monthly energy bills. | Lower upfront cost, but higher long-term operating expenses. |
💡 Pro Tip: If you want lower bills, year-round comfort, and access to Ontario rebates, a cold-climate heat pump is the smarter investment.
