90% of homes use conventional furnace and a/c
A conventional furnace and air conditioning system is a popular choice for heating and cooling homes. A furnace is typically powered by natural gas or oil, which heats air that is then circulated through the home via ductwork. An air conditioning system typically consists of a compressor unit located outside the home and an indoor evaporator coil that cools and dehumidifies the air.
One of the main advantages of a conventional system is its effectiveness in maintaining a comfortable temperature year-round. However, they can be costly to install and operate, and require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, they can contribute to air pollution and are not as energy-efficient as newer, more eco-friendly options such as geothermal systems or ductless mini-splits.
Conventional furnace & AC vs air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps provide both heating and cooling capabilities in one system, making them more versatile and energy-efficient compared to conventional furnace and air conditioning units.

Furnace & Air Conditioner
FAQs
Some common types of conventional furnaces include gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and oil furnaces. Air conditioning systems can be central or ductless, and may use different types of refrigerant.
Conventional furnace and air conditioning systems can be used in most climates, but they are most effective in areas with mild to moderate temperatures. In areas with extreme temperatures, they may struggle to maintain a comfortable indoor environment.
Conventional furnace and air conditioning systems are generally less energy-efficient and less environmentally friendly than geothermal systems. They also have a shorter lifespan and require more maintenance. However, they are generally less expensive to install upfront.
The cost of a conventional furnace and air conditioning system depends on several factors, such as the size of the system, the efficiency rating, and the complexity of the installation. Generally, a system can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 or more.
The lifespan of a conventional furnace and air conditioning system varies depending on the quality of the system and how well it is maintained. Generally, a well-maintained system can last 15-20 years or more.
Some of the benefits of a conventional furnace and air conditioning system include relatively low upfront costs, wide availability, and ease of installation and maintenance.
