With Kelowna’s summers reaching higher temperatures each year, staying cool isn’t a luxury — it’s essential. If you’re considering upgrading your home’s cooling system, you might be wondering: Should I install a central air furnace that does AC or invest in a heat pump? At Radian Home Comfort, we are happy to advise Okanagan homeowners on smart, energy-efficient appliances that last.
Air Conditioners: Reliable Cooling Power
Central AC systems are built to cool your home only. They use refrigerant to extract heat from indoor air and push cooled air through your ducts.
Benefits:
Excellent cooling for hot summer days
Lower upfront furnace cost than heat pumps
Pairs easily with existing furnaces
Familiar technology that most homeowners trust
However, AC systems that are included in your furnace run on gas or oil and may cost you more money to run in the long run.
Heat Pumps: Cooling + Heating in One
Heat pumps do double-duty, cooling your home in the summer and heating it in winter. They work by transferring heat in or out of your home, depending on the season.
Benefits:
Year-round comfort with one system
Lower energy use in milder temperatures
Ideal for Kelowna’s moderate climate
Reduce utility bills over time
With advancements in technology, modern heat pumps perform efficiently even during Kelowna’s colder months, making them a versatile choice year-round.
Which Is Right for You?
If you need reliable summer cooling and you’re looking for a long-term, energy-efficient solution, a Lennox® heat pump offers flexibility and great value.
