Recommended unit for Newport East
Given Rhode Island’s cold climate and gas heating, dual-fuel (cold-climate heat pump + gas furnace) is the sensible default for most Newport East homes. The cooling season is short, so the budget is better spent on heating efficiency than on ultra-high SEER2. A pro can confirm the right size and system for your home with a load calculation.
