Think of an electric furnace like a large hair dryer. Air gets pulled over electric heating elements, which heat the air, and then the hot air gets pushed into rooms through a system of duct work. Today's heat pump can reduce your electricity use for heating by approximately 50% compared to electric resistance heating such as electric furnaces and baseboard heaters.
