Miller Plumbing Heating Cooling recommends replacing your old air conditioner with a heat pump.

Heat pumps look and work the same as a central air conditioner in the summer but have one major advantage. In the winter they pump free heat from the air outside (Latent Heat) into your home. A 13 seer heat pump will provide 3kw of heat for every 1 kw used to run the heat pump. Higher seer units save even more electricity.

With the use of a dual fuel thermostat your existing gas furnace will provide backup heat when needed on those really cold days. The thermostat helps you pick the utility that will be the most cost effective on any given day ELECTRIC/ GAS similar to a hybrid car saves money and better for the environment.
