I Live In Southern California. Should I Buy An Air Conditioner And A Gas Furnace Or Should I Buy A Heat Pump?
I live in southern California. I am buying a central heating and cooling system for my house which is a single family two-story house built in the 70s with no air conditioner and heating provided by a gas furnace. Should I buy 1) an air conditioner and a gas furnace OR 2) a heat pump and eliminate the need of a furnace? Thank you for your help.

Without question, the heat pump. What you save in energy costs will pay for the new unit in time. Make sure you get the highest energy rating you can afford.
I am in the process of having a heat pump/air condition unit installed in my home in Florida.
Heat pumps don’t work well in cold climates, but S. Cal should be great!
A heat pump was the most useless thing we ever invested in – our climate is more extreme than yours, but that didn’t stop the sales pitch from sounding “perfect”. Check with someone in your area who has lived with a heat pump for 2 years.
