Gas Electric Split Systems

Gas electric split systems combine an electric air conditioner with a gas furnace to provide dependable year-round heating and cooling through a central ducted HVAC system. These systems use electricity for cooling during warmer months and natural gas for heating during colder weather, making them a common choice for residential and light commercial applications.

They’re widely used for HVAC replacements, new construction, and system upgrades where strong heating performance and reliable cooling are both priorities.

What you’ll find here

  • Gas furnace and air conditioner split systems
  • Residential and light commercial HVAC combinations
  • High-efficiency cooling and gas heating systems
  • Matched condenser, furnace, and coil configurations
  • Single-stage and variable-speed system options

How to choose

  • Match system tonnage and furnace BTU output to your property’s heating and cooling load
  • Compare SEER2 ratings for cooling efficiency and energy savings
  • Verify fuel type compatibility with your natural gas supply
  • Consider variable-speed blowers for quieter airflow and better humidity control
  • Check ductwork condition and airflow capacity before installation
  • Confirm electrical and gas line requirements for the installation site
  • Review furnace efficiency ratings if winter heating costs are a concern

Heat Pump vs Gas Electric Split System

  • Gas electric systems: Use a gas furnace for heating and electric AC for cooling
  • Heat pumps: Provide heating and cooling using electricity alone
  • Gas heating: Often preferred in colder climates with higher winter heating demand
