Ashley walks every customer through three furnace performance tiers. Here's how they compare:
GAS FURNACE INSTALLATION BY ASHLEY
HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION
Ashley Does It Right
A heat pump is the most versatile heating system Ashley installs, one unit that heats efficiently in the winter and cools in the summer. By moving heat rather than generating it, a heat pump delivers up to three times more energy than it consumes, making it one of the most efficient heating options available or Boise's climate.
Ashley has installed heat pumps across the Treasure Valley for decades and knows exactly which systems perform best in Idaho's winters. Our mild winters mean efficient heating across the majority of the heating season, and our hot, dry summers are exactly the conditions where heat pumps excel. Ashley has helped hundreds of Treasure Valley homeowners make the switch — and our Comfort Specialists know which system is right for your home's specific needs.

Ashley guides every customer through Trane's three performance tiers. Here's how they compare:
Ashley also installs hybrid heating systems that pair a Trane heat pump with a Trane gas furnace. The heat pump handles heating efficiently during mild weather; when temperatures drop to the point where gas heat is more cost-effective, the system automatically switches to the furnace. Ashley programs the switchover point based on your local utility rates — so your system always uses the least expensive energy source available.
A hybrid system is Ashley's most versatile heating recommendation: maximum year-round efficiency with the reliability of a gas backup for Idaho's coldest nights. Ashley Comfort Specialists will show you a projected annual energy cost comparison at your free estimate.
