Pump Up the Heat (Pump)!

Your Guide to Year-Round Comfort

The cold keeps coming in STL this year and we're all seeing just how well our heating systems do in this legit winter. You may be similar to us - your furnace is getting expensive to maintain and increasingly unreliable. Heat pumps? We think we're finally ready for an HVAC heat pump for our heating and cooling next winter. What sold us is the efficiency; sure, it's electric and fits into our plan to electrify, but the long-term money savings on our utility bill will be nice. Knowing that as all utility costs rise, we will be well positioned to be as efficient as possible — quietly, efficiently saving money for better things.

Why Heat Pumps Rock!

What's a heat pump anyway? Think of it as your home's climate control superhero. One system that handles both heating and cooling, working smarter (not harder) to keep you comfortable through St. Louis's wild weather swings. It moves heat instead of creating it, which is why it uses way less energy than traditional systems.

• Works smarter AND harder: More efficient than traditional systems

• Money talks: Lower monthly bills = more cash in your pocket

• Year-round performer: One system for all seasons

• Got Options: Sizes for every home, whether you own or rent

When to Make the Switch. Most heating and cooling systems last about 15-20 years. When yours starts showing its age—or if you're tired of those surprise repair bills—that's your cue to consider a heat pump. We call it "When it Dies, Electrify!”
