3 system paths to compare first

Central layout
Verification pathCompare 1

Furnace + central AC

Keep this path in the comparison until the home and existing system are reviewed.

Why it surfaced

  • Keeps heating and cooling in a central-system configuration.

What still needs checking

  • Existing ducts, venting, fuel supply, controls, and outdoor placement require on-site review.
  • Electrical readiness is unknown; an on-site load review is required before comparing options. This uncertainty does not silently exclude an option or prescribe electrical work.
Verification pathCompare 2

Cold-climate heat pump

Keep this path in the comparison until the home and existing system are reviewed.

Why it surfaced

  • Combines heating and cooling in an all-electric system configuration.

What still needs checking

  • Cold-weather performance, electrical load, distribution, and outdoor placement require on-site review.
  • Electrical readiness is unknown; an on-site load review is required before comparing options. This uncertainty does not silently exclude an option or prescribe electrical work.
Verification pathCompare 3

Dual-fuel heat pump + furnace

Keep this path in the comparison until the home and existing system are reviewed.

Why it surfaced

  • Combines a heat pump with gas backup in a central-system configuration.

What still needs checking

  • Controls, venting, cold-weather operation, electrical load, and outdoor placement require on-site review.
  • Electrical readiness is unknown; an on-site load review is required before comparing options. This uncertainty does not silently exclude an option or prescribe electrical work.

Checks before equipment selection

  • Manual J/S load calculation and equipment selection
  • On-site electrical-load review

Educational starting point only. This is not sizing or a diagnosis, and it does not promise equipment fit, savings, incentives, or outcomes. Final selection requires an on-site evaluation and the listed checks.
