Texas filter: replace Central AC with Heat Pump?
The kind folks who installed a new central AC system in my Austin home suggest it’s nearing the end of its life (10 years) and should be replaced soon. They discouraged me from replacing with a heat pump. A friend who oversees HVAC issues with a large school district said that I should stick with my existing gas furnace, as ‘heat pumps are more efficient than older electric furnaces but not gas.’ Should I consider installing a heat pump to replace the AC and continue using the gas furnace for heating?

Power Outage> Generator> Furnace/AC> How?
My house has central air through a gas-fired furnace. It doesn’t function when the power is out. What is the simplest/cheapest way to use a generator to supply the necessary electricity for the AC to work? I’m aware of the high end solutions and know that an electrician/new wiring is probably involved. I’m trying to ascertain the range of possibilities that won’t damage anything. Thanks!
