A heat pump is an air conditioner that learned to run in reverse: in summer it moves heat out of your house, and in winter a reversing valve flips the refrigerant flow so the same compressor pulls heat from outdoor air and delivers it inside. Because it moves heat rather than generating it, its efficiency runs far past anything resistance heating can do, which is why so many Decatur, IL homeowners are switching as older equipment ages out. Modern cold-climate models with variable-speed inverter compressors keep producing useful heat far below freezing, a genuine engineering leap over the heat pumps of twenty years ago.

- Uneven temperatures year-round with the equipment you have now
- High heating bills from electric baseboard, propane, or oil
