Creston Heat Pump Installation
Reduce propane dependence with a cold-climate heat pump. Dual-fuel configurations that keep your furnace as reliable backup.
Creston homes heat exclusively with propane, and that makes fuel cost a constant consideration. A cold-climate heat pump paired with your existing propane furnace shifts most of the heating load to electricity, cutting propane consumption while keeping the furnace available for the valley floor's coldest nights.
The same heat pump provides cooling in summer, replacing the need for a separate AC system. For Creston homeowners on Flathead Electric Cooperative power, the operating cost of the heat pump in heating mode competes favorably with propane through most of the season.
Propane Savings on the Valley Floor
Cold-air pooling on the Creston Valley floor extends your heating season and increases propane consumption. A heat pump takes the edge off that cost by handling the moderate-temperature months on electricity. The furnace covers only the coldest periods when the temperature drops into the range where the heat pump's efficiency diminishes. The net effect is fewer propane deliveries.

Frequently asked questions
Will a heat pump work on Creston's valley floor where it gets so cold?
Cold-climate heat pumps are built for subzero performance. Paired with your propane furnace, the system covers the full temperature range. The heat pump runs efficiently most of the time, and the furnace handles the deepest cold pockets.
Can a heat pump also cool my Creston home in summer?
Yes. A heat pump heats in winter and cools in summer from the same unit. It replaces the need for a separate air conditioning system.
