Kila Heat Pump Service
An alternative to propane-only heating. Cold-climate heat pumps paired with your existing furnace for lower fuel costs and summer cooling.
Kila homeowners pay for every unit of heat in propane. With no natural gas infrastructure in the area, that's the only option for conventional furnace heating. A cold-climate heat pump changes the equation by shifting the bulk of your heating load to electricity through Flathead Electric Cooperative, keeping propane as backup for the coldest nights.
The same unit provides cooling in summer, giving you year-round comfort without a separate AC system. Cold-climate models are engineered to keep working well below zero, which makes them a viable option for the western Flathead.
Propane vs. Heat Pump Economics
Electricity from Flathead Electric Cooperative costs less per unit of heat than propane through most of the heating season. A dual-fuel heat pump takes advantage of that difference, running on electricity when it's efficient and switching to propane only during the deepest cold. The result for most Kila homes is fewer propane deliveries and lower overall heating costs.

Frequently asked questions
How much propane could a heat pump save me in Kila?
It depends on your home's size and insulation. In a dual-fuel setup, the heat pump handles the majority of the heating season on electricity. Propane use drops to just the coldest stretches of winter.
Will a heat pump work on a Kila property without natural gas?
Absolutely. A heat pump runs on electricity and pairs with your propane furnace as backup. It's specifically designed for homes without gas service, where reducing propane dependence offers the biggest savings.
