Frequently Asked Questions

Do heat pumps work in Oklahoma winters?
Yes. Modern air-source heat pumps operate efficiently down to about 25ยฐF. Below that, they use electric backup heat strips (or gas furnace if dual-fuel). Oklahoma's average winter temps are well within heat pump operating range for most of the season.
Are federal tax credits still available for heat pumps?
No โ€” the federal 25C heat pump tax credit expired December 31, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. OG&E utility rebates (up to $1,500/unit) are now the primary savings pathway. See our rebates page for current incentives.
Heat pump vs gas furnace โ€” which is better for Oklahoma?
For most OKC-metro homes, dual-fuel (heat pump + gas backup) is the best combination. You get efficient electric heating for mild winter temps and gas backup for the few really cold days. Natural gas prices and electricity rates both matter to the math.
How long do heat pumps last?
Quality heat pumps last 10-15 years in Oklahoma. They're used year-round (unlike AC alone), so they accumulate more runtime hours. Proper maintenance (annual tune-ups, filter changes) extends life at the top of that range.
What's the difference between a heat pump and AC?
Physically very similar โ€” but a heat pump has a reversing valve that lets it run in reverse to provide heating. An AC only cools. Installing a heat pump instead of AC gives you heating too, without needing a separate furnace.
