Heat Pump vs. AC: Which One is Right for You?

For an all-in-one cooling and heating solution, it may be worth considering an energy-efficient heat pump when it’s time to replace your air conditioner. In some cases, there are major advantages to installing a heat pump system.

Choose AC installation near you if:

You only need a new system for cooling (i.e. you have a furnace that’s still working well);
You want a lower up-front cost for your cooling system replacement; and
You want a system that has a longer average lifespan.

Choose Heat Pump installation near you if:

You want an energy-efficient, all-electric, all-year cooling & heating solution;
You want a dual-function system that provides both cooling and heating in a single unit; and
You live in a region with warm summers and mild to moderately cold winters.

Here are a few things to be aware of when choosing between the two options:

	Air Conditioner	Heat Pump
How it works	Cools the home by removing heat and expelling it outdoors	Operates as an AC in summer; reverses operation in winter, pulling heat in from outside air
Pairing	Only used for cooling; must be paired with separate heating equipment such as a furnace	Provides both cooling and heating; can be paired with a furnace in colder climates for optimal operation & efficiency
Cooling performance	Effective & Efficient
Heating Performance	N/A (requires separate heating equipment)	Provides both heating and cooling
Energy Efficiency	Provides efficient cooling	Energy-efficient heating and cooling; can be more efficient than a furnace
Up-front Cost	Usually cheaper than a heat pump	Higher up-front cost for equipment
Operating Costs	Low for cooling	Potential for lower heating costs in mild to moderate winters
Best Climate	Warmer climates	Colder climates that require heating
Average Equipment Lifespan	15-20 years	10-15 years
Source of Energy	Electric (cooling only)	Electric (both cooling & heating)

Not sure which system you need? Ask our expert HVAC contractors to recommend whether AC or heat pump installation is the best option for your needs and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is central AC expensive to run?

Central AC installation is an affordable, more effective solution for cooling an entire home than running multiple AC units.
Investing in the cost of installing central air conditioning can also increase the value of your home
Home Depot Installers offer a range of high-efficiency central air conditioners, with SEER ratings as high as 17, to help you save on your electricity bills
System upgrades such as a programmable or smart thermostat can help you fine-tune your central air conditioner’s performance for optimal comfort, efficiency and savings

Which is better: Ductless AC or Central AC?

Both ductless and central air conditioning systems come with their own unique benefits, but choosing between them and determining which is “best” will depend on which system most closely matches the demands of your home
While ductless AC can be configured to serve up to 4 rooms, central AC installation is typically the better solution for an entire house, especially when it already has ductwork in place.

Is Central AC more efficient?

Central air conditioning installation is usually the most energy-efficient option when a whole-home air conditioning solution is needed. During your free in-home consultation, the installer will help you determine which system is right for your home
All central air conditioners available from The Home Depot are ENERGY STAR®-certified high-efficiency systems with SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings as high as 17

How long do Central AC units last?

With regular, annual maintenance from a licensed HVAC professional, a central air conditioner will typically last about 15 years
Please keep in mind that unique conditions, such as local climate and humidity, can impact your central air conditioner in ways that may impact its overall lifespan

How long does it take to install a central air conditioner?

• While central air conditioning installation can usually be completed in a single-day appointment, specific installation times will vary from as little as four hours to as much as 12 hours or longer. Your installer should be able to estimate how much time is needed for your project
The specific demands of your air conditioner installation project, including the layout and location of your home and whether ductwork and/or other additional features need to be installed, will determine how long it will take

Ductless AC Installation Questions

Are ductless air conditioners worth it?

Ductless AC systems can be configured to serve up to 4 rooms and are ideally suited for homes requiring heat in isolated areas
A ductless AC system uses zoning technology to focus your heating needs on a specific area of the home when needed, resulting in potential energy savings throughout the year and offering you greater control
Once installed, your new ductless air conditioning system can last as long as 20 years which is as long as many high-quality furnaces

Do ductless air conditioners need to be vented?

Ductless mini-split air conditioner systems are ideal for homes without existing ductwork, and less costly to install

How long does it take to install a ductless system?

Depending on the size of your home and the number of rooms, your ductless air conditioning system can be installed within a single day
