Here’s a comparison table outlining the key differences between an A/C system and a heat pump:

Feature	A/C System	Heat Pump
Energy Efficiency	Typically less efficient, only provides cooling	Up to 30% more energy-efficient, provides heating & cooling
Cost Savings	Moderate savings over time	Substantial long-term savings due to lower energy consumption
Functionality	Provides cooling only	Provides both heating and cooling in a single system
Environmental Impact	Produces greenhouse gas emissions from combustion	Operates on heat transfer, produces 0 carbon emissions
Noise Level	Compressor units can be noisy	Whisper-quiet operation for a peaceful indoor environment
Lifespan	Typically lasts 10-15 years	Can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance
Rebates	Fewer rebate options available	Eligible for substantial rebates for energy efficiency

As seen in the table, heat pumps offer several advantages over traditional A/C systems, including higher energy efficiency, dual-purpose functionality, and environmental friendliness. Additionally, they provide long-term cost savings and quieter operation.
