Common questions in Allentown.
My Lehigh Valley home currently uses electric baseboard heat or an old heat pump—what's the best upgrade?
Many Lehigh Valley homes built in the 1970s and 1980s rely on electric resistance baseboards or older single-stage heat pumps that trigger expensive auxiliary strip heat all winter. Upgrading to a cold-climate inverter heat pump (ducted or ductless) can lower winter PPL electricity use and may qualify for PPL Electric rebates.
Can I switch from heating oil to a heat pump or UGI natural gas in Allentown?
Yes. If your street has a UGI gas main, a gas furnace and central AC is a common path. If gas isn't available on your street in Lower Macungie or Orefield, a cold-climate heat pump replaces both oil heating and central AC in one all-electric system.
