To reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030, certain regions in California are imposing regulations on nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions from gas furnaces in residential areas.

Heat pumps stand out as a superior choice over a traditional furnace for several reasons. Let’s go over why a heat pump could very well be the best home upgrade you make in the future.
