Do I actually need a furnace in Charleston, or is a heat pump enough?
“For most Charleston-area homes, a heat pump is enough — and more efficient. Our winters rarely see sustained temperatures below the 35-40°F range where heat pump efficiency starts to drop meaningfully.”

“A heat pump moves heat — it extracts warmth from outside air and moves it inside. It also runs in reverse as an air conditioner in summer, which is why it's the dominant technology in mild climates.”
在公司资料中查看My heat pump is blowing cool air in heat mode. Is it broken?
“Not necessarily. Heat pumps go through a defrost cycle periodically — the outdoor unit briefly reverses operation to melt any ice that's built up on the coil, and during that cycle, the air inside can feel cooler.”
在公司资料中查看How do I know if I need heater repair or full replacement?
“We use a simple framework: if the repair cost is under half the replacement cost and the unit is under 12 years old, repair usually wins. If the unit is older, has been repaired multiple times in recent years, or your energy bills have climbed significantly without a clear reason, replacement is usually the better financial decision.”
