## Questions, answered straight
### Should I install a heat pump or a gas furnace in Bakersfield?
Bakersfield's mild winters make heat pumps a great fit; they handle roughly 95% of our heating days easily and you get cooling in the same install. Gas still makes sense if your gas is already in and electric rates concern you. We show the math both ways.
