Q. I have an old gas furnace and central air conditioner. Should I consider replacing them with a heat pump?

A. This is a possibility. Thanks to innovations in tecnology, such as the hyper-heating inverter, heat pumps can now keep a home toasty warm even if outdoor temperatures drop to 0^ºF! That's a big improvement over the heat pumps of the past, which became ineffective when outdoor temperatures reached the freezing point (32ºF).

Q. Who are these people who keep pestering me about switching from Duke to some other gas provider?

A. They are alternate fuel providers that may be able to save you money on the Natural Gas you use to heat your home. They sell you the NG at a fixed rate over the year. Duke sells you the NG at different prices thru the year based on their actual cost at the time of delivery.
