Default Time for Central Air. Should i buy a heat pump instead.

Its time to install a central air in the house and i don't really know that much about AC or heat pumps. My friend who installs commercial heating a cooling can get me a deal on Bryant products. They also sell heat pumps. Im not sure if i should buy one instead to help offset my heating season some.


I live in south east Michigan. To heat the house I burn wood in my wood furnace. When the weather isn't cold enough to fire up the wood furnace i use my natural gas furnace(93% efficient). It does the job, but maybe the heat pump could do it a little more efficient and i might not have to burn as much wood.

I am looking at the cheaper models because i dont plan on living here forever and i think a heat pump would look better when its time to sell the house.

I'm looking at the Legacy line for either the AC or the Heat pump

Product Comparison - Heat Pumps - Bryant

Product Comparison - Air Conditioning - Bryant

What do you guys think? is a whole house heat pump worth the extra money or should i just stick with the AC unit?
