You may have heard some chatter about how heat pumps can replace traditional furnaces and save homeowners money.
But just how much of that is true? Danny (@danny.katz) set the record straight with an honest review posted to TikTok after three months of living with a heat pump.

"It's definitely been heating the home nicely," Danny says, noting that his new system is quiet and consistently keeps his home warm.
However, he acknowledged that the bigger question is the matter of cost.
The comparison to his old gas-powered rig looked better or worse month to month, depending on how cold it was outside. Yet overall, the heat pump was coming out on top.

Danny's system will also double as air conditioning in the summer, which no gas furnace can do. Plus, he got another major bonus out of the deal.
"[I] cut $13,000 off the price with rebates and discounts," he wrote in the video caption. "Overall happy."

Trimming down the upfront cost with available incentives for an all-electric heat pump is a smart move.
