A gas furnace generates heat by burning natural gas or propane — it creates heat from scratch using combustion. A heat pump moves existing heat energy from outdoor air into your home — which is why it can deliver 2 to 3 units of heat energy for every 1 unit of electricity consumed. In Northwest Florida where winters are mild and your system runs year-round, a heat pump is almost always the more efficient and cost-effective choice.

Most qualifying heat pump installations may receive a federal tax credit of up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act. The system must meet minimum efficiency thresholds — generally 16 SEER2 or higher — and be installed in your primary residence. Just Right provides the manufacturer certification statement and installation documentation needed to claim the credit. We strongly recommend confirming your specific eligibility with a qualified tax professional before filing.

Proper sizing requires a Manual J load calculation that accounts for your specific home — square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, window placement and type, local climate data for Okaloosa County, and several other factors. An oversized system short-cycles and fails to properly dehumidify your home — a critical problem in Florida. An undersized system cannot keep up on the coldest days. Just Right performs this calculation on every installation at no charge.

Most residential heating installations on existing ductwork are completed in one day. Straightforward heat pump replacements take 4 to 7 hours. Dual fuel systems requiring gas line work, electrical panel upgrades, or significant ductwork modifications may take a day and a half. We will give you a clear timeline during your free estimate so you can plan accordingly.
