With rising consumer demand driving energy prices higher and higher, many homeowners are turning to upgraded home heating and cooling systems for more energy- and cost-efficient solutions.
One such solution, heat pumps, can unlock thousands of dollars in annual energy savings, allowing you to achieve your desired indoor temperatures at just a fraction of the cost of conventional air conditioning units and gas furnaces.
A Canadian HVAC expert recently posted a breakdown of heat pump technology in a TikTok video under the account AirVantage Heating & Cooling (@_airvantage), walking viewers through the inner workings of these cutting-edge systems.

Over the course of the video, the technician explained the various parts of the hybrid HVAC on display, including the outdoor compressor, the refrigerant lines, the indoor coil, the gas furnace, and the blower motor.
The system showcased in this video is a dual-fuel option that switches between a gas furnace and an electric heat pump to maximize comfort, but HVACs can be all-electric as well. To learn more about your options and save on any HVAC upgrades you may make, check out The Cool Down's HVAC Explorer.
All-electric heat pump systems may be simpler and more eco-friendly than the featured dual-fuel, but if you live in a colder environment, they may prove costlier in the long run. Hybrid systems offer less of an advantage in warmer climates, though, where the furnace component is only rarely needed.

The heat pump and solar panel combo can halve your heating and cooling expenses while powering your home for less and lowering your household carbon footprint. After all, traditional fuel sources release copious amounts of pollution when burned, so opting for electric or energy-efficient alternatives can keep heat-trapping gases out of our atmosphere.
Even if you don't go all-electric with your HVAC, a hybrid option can still make a difference for our planet and for your savings.
