Reply to comment by the_other_b in New dwellings in Washington state must be warmed by heat pumps, rather than furnaces, beginning in July, state board rules Friday by BarnabyWoods

Congrats! 100% heat pump is the way to go! Modern ones don’t need supplemental gas heat, they’re rated and effective to very low temps. Also, ac in the summer is pretty sweet!

thank you so much! im very excited! we just bought the house and the furnace vent runs vertically through our closet, and is so inefficient if we vented out the side of the house we'd get CO2 buildups lol.. the heat pump just solves so many of our problems (and will feel so blessed to have AC next summer)

Could you use them to cool the house during hotter months then along with warming during cooler ones?

Yes. Heat pumps are bidirectional. They work as AC in warmer months.
