Goodbye Gas? We Swapped a Furnace for a Samsung Heat Pump in Chicago

Can a heat pump really replace a gas furnace in a Chicago condo? In this project, we electrified a 1,200 sq ft Chicago condo by removing the existing gas furnace and converting the home to an all-electric heating and cooling system with a Samsung Hylex heat pump.
