Professional Heating Installation

t’s a common question for homeowners upgrading their heating system—should you stick with a gas furnace, or make the switch to a heat pump? The right answer depends on your home, comfort needs, and energy goals. At Jones Heating & Air, we help homeowners in Charlottesville and surrounding areas weigh the pros and cons of each option so you can make the best decision for your household.

Why stick with a gas furnace?
Gas furnaces are known for their powerful heat output, making them a great option during freezing temperatures. They heat quickly, work well in colder climates, and often come with lower upfront installation costs—especially if your home already has a natural gas connection.

Why consider switching to a heat pump?
Heat pumps are all-electric systems that offer both heating and cooling. They’re incredibly efficient, especially in milder winter climates like we often see in Central Virginia. Plus, newer cold-climate heat pumps now perform reliably even in colder temperatures. If you’re looking to reduce your utility bills and carbon footprint, a heat pump may be the way to go.
