HEATING AND COOLING, WORKING TOGETHER.
Heat pumps can provide efficient year-round comfort by transferring heat rather than generating it directly. Ductless options can also offer room-by-room temperature control. Actual efficiency, performance and installation requirements vary by home and equipment.
Talk Through My Options →We'll consider the details that matter.
- Existing ductwork and equipment
- Room sizes and home layout
- Heating and cooling needs
- Electrical and installation requirements
- Equipment sizing and placement
We recommend options after learning about your home rather than promising that one system fits everyone.
COMMON QUESTIONS
HEAT PUMP ANSWERS.
WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK.
We'll help you understand the trade-offs before you decide.
Do heat pumps provide both heating and cooling?
Yes. Heat pumps can heat in colder weather and cool in warmer weather. Performance depends on the equipment and outdoor conditions.
Do I need ductwork for a mini-split?
No. Ductless mini-splits use indoor units connected to an outdoor unit, making them an option for spaces without conventional ductwork.
Can a heat pump replace my existing system?
It may be possible, depending on your home, current equipment, electrical capacity and comfort needs. We'll review your situation before recommending a configuration.
Can I use a mini-split for just one room?
Single-zone systems can serve one area. Multi-zone options may serve several spaces, subject to equipment and installation requirements.
Do heat pumps need maintenance?
Yes. Regular inspection and maintenance can help identify developing issues and support reliable operation. Explore HVAC maintenance.
