Comparing the cost of a new gas furnace versus a new heat pump

I have tried to slowly modernize our old house, but it’s hard.

My parents moved into this locale in the 1978s, plus before that it was owned by an old couple who had it from the time it was built in the 1950s. Needless to say, there are relics from the past in everything from the paint plus wallpaper to the old washroom faucets plus fixtures. I was shocked when I l gained that the oven in the living room is original from when the cabin was originally built. I’m not sure why our parents never replaced it, but I did right after I took up occupancy here. With our task income slowly changing, I’ve been able to afford some much needed upgrades in this locale, culminating in our decision to get a new furnace entirely. Since this is a northern region plus the two of us had an exceptionally long Winter this year, I can’t go separate from a great furnace or furnace of some kind. There was a gas furnace here to begin with, but I started to wonder if I should consider an even better furnace this time around. I compared a new gas furnace to a new heat pump to see the difference in price. Surprisingly, some heat pumps cost about as much as a great gas furnace, but they don’t require HVAC duct like a gas furnace does. On top of that, a gas furnace at best has a 97% efficiency rating while a heat pump can get up to 300% efficiency. That was the final determining factor in our getting a heat pump to replace the old gas furnace in the house.
