Furnaces are typically more effective in colder climates where temperatures regularly drop below freezing.
Climate: Furnace
A heat pump is more energy-efficient in moderate temperatures compared to colder climates, as it extracts heat from the outside air or ground.
Climate: Heat Pump
Modern furnaces can be highly efficient, but they are dependent on burning fuel and some energy may be lost through the combustion process.
Energy efficiency: furnace
Heat pumps are generally more energy-efficient as they move heat rather than generate it.

Traditional furnaces are often less expensive to install initially, particularly if the home already has ductwork in place.
Initial cost and installation: furnace
Heat pumps may have a higher upfront cost. However, they can offer long-term savings on energy bills.
Initial cost and installation: heat pump
Furnaces generally have a longer lifespan than heat pumps. With proper maintenance, a well-installed furnace can last 15-30 years.
Lifespan and maintenance: furnace
Heat pumps have a shorter lifespan, usually around 10-15 years. Regular maintenance is crucial.
