Replace them.  You will be amazed.

In the long run, I bet your best option is to buy a new gas furnace/AC
combination.  In some cases, you can heat with the heat pump and just
use the gas for supplemental heat instead of electric heating strips.
However, a modern, 95% efficient gas furnace will probably heat your
house cheaper than any other source.
Heat pumps work at a lower temperature differential than forced air
furnaces, so going to a heat pump usually requires larger ductwork and
return air plenums.  Your existing ducts may be adequate for air
conditioning, or maybe not.  The best thing you can do is find a GOOD
mechanical contractor, and discuss the installation with him.  He can
help you compare prices for gas/AC and straight heat pump installation,
