Heating System Options for Hammond Homes
Heat pump systems — best for most Hammond homes
Heat pumps provide heating and cooling from one system using refrigerant. They pull heat from outdoor air, even in cold weather, and move it inside. In Hammond's mild winters, where it rarely stays below 35 degrees for long, heat pumps run at their highest efficiency and often deliver 2 to 3 times the heat output per dollar of electricity compared to electric resistance heat.
Gas furnaces — powerful and fast
Gas furnaces give you powerful, fast heat and are a reliable choice when natural gas is already at the home. They perform well during the occasional hard Hammond freeze when a heat pump may need auxiliary support.
Dual-fuel systems — best of both worlds
A dual-fuel system pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace. The heat pump handles mild days efficiently and the gas furnace takes over when temperatures drop below the heat pump's optimal range. In Hammond, the gas furnace rarely needs to run, but it is there when you need it.

Electric furnaces and air handlers
Where natural gas is not available, electric furnaces and air handlers are a straightforward option. Less efficient than heat pumps for heating, but a reliable backup.

How We Size Heating Systems for Hammond Homes
