Choosing a furnace or heat pump involves more than comparing equipment names. We help you understand what fits your home, what the installation requires, and what you’re approving before work begins.
If one room has always stayed cold, we want to hear about it. If you’re changing how a space is used, that matters too. A heating recommendation should account for the building, the equipment already in place, and the problems you want to solve.
You should understand why an option makes sense and what would change in your home. We’ll explain the proposed work and provide a written estimate.

Put it in writing.
You receive an estimate for the proposed scope. Additional work requires your approval.
A gas furnace creates heat by burning fuel; an electric furnace uses electric heating elements. A heat pump moves heat into the home and can also provide cooling. Each option has different equipment and installation requirements.
For heat-pump heating, the home’s winter demand, the unit’s performance in cold weather, and any supplemental heat need to be considered together. For a furnace, the available fuel or electrical supply and the installation requirements help shape the choices.
We explain the relevant options without assuming that one system is right for every home. If you’re deciding whether to keep existing equipment, see our repair-versus-replacement guidance.
Jarman Mechanical works with gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pumps. The recommendation depends on the home, available utilities, and project requirements.
Yes, but equipment selection matters. Its cold-weather performance must be considered alongside the home's heating needs and any supplemental heat. We'll discuss how the proposed setup would serve your home.
Not necessarily. The cause may involve airflow, ductwork, or heat loss from the room. Those concerns should be reviewed before choosing equipment capacity.
Possibly. Compatibility between the heating equipment, blower, controls, and cooling components needs to be reviewed. We explain which parts of the system are included in the proposed work.
Yes. We provide a free estimate for the proposed installation so you can review the scope and ask questions before deciding.
