Efficient, Zoned Comfort—Without Ductwork
Ductless mini-splits are ideal for homes without central air or rooms that need extra temperature control. These systems offer energy-efficient heating and cooling with quiet operation, room-by-room customization, and sleek, modern designs.
- Perfect for additions, sunrooms, and older homes
- Fast installation with minimal disruption
- Save energy by heating and cooling only where you need it
Ductless Heat Pumps
Ductless, mini-split-system heat pumps (mini-splits) make good retrofit add-ons to houses with “non-ducted” heating systems, such as hydronic (hot water heat), radiant panels, and space heaters (wood, kerosene, propane). They can also be a good choice for room additions where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not feasible, and for very efficient new homes that require only a small space conditioning system. Be sure to choose an ENERGY STAR® compliant unit and hire an installer familiar with the product and its installation.
Like standard air-source heat pumps, mini-splits have two main components — an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units.
Ducted Heat Pumps
Ducted heat pumps move heat from the outdoor air into your home (or vice versa). After the heat is taken from its source, it is distributed throughout your home via a system of ducts. Ducted heat pumps are best for new construction as the installation can be tricky in a current space, potentially requiring renovation costs and mess.
