We help you upgrade your comfort with confidence.
Furnace vs. Heat Pump: What’s Best for You?
In Upstate South Carolina, both furnaces and heat pumps are popular choices.
- Heat pumps are energy efficient and provide both heating and cooling in one system, making them ideal for our moderate winters.
- Gas furnaces deliver strong, consistent warmth—even on the coldest nights—and never lose efficiency as temperatures drop.
- Dual-fuel systems combine both, automatically switching for maximum efficiency and comfort. PECO’s specialists explain the pros and cons of each, including local energy costs, so you can make an informed decision that fits your home, budget, and comfort needs.

FAQ
Should I replace my furnace before it fails completely?
Yes—waiting for a total breakdown can leave you without heat during winter and may cost more in emergency repairs. If your furnace is 12–15+ years old or needs frequent fixes, replacement is often the safer, smarter move.
Gas furnace vs. heat pump – which is better in SC?
Both work well in Upstate SC. Heat pumps are efficient for most winter days and offer cooling too, while gas furnaces deliver stronger heat during rare cold snaps. PECO will help you weigh your options for the best fit.
How much does a new furnace cost near Clemson?
Costs vary based on system size, features, and installation details. Most customers see quotes in the $4,500–$8,000 range installed, but rebates and financing can lower out-of-pocket expenses. We provide clear, detailed quotes with no surprises.
How long does heating installation take?
