What Is A Ductless Heat Pump?
Ductless heat pumps or mini splits can be used to both heat and cool a home. They are extremely energy efficient and do not require conventional ductwork, making them a great solution for many homes and easy to install. In fact, new ductless heat pumps tend to have higher SEER ratings than conventional heat pumps.
-
In the summer, a heat pump functions the same way as an air conditioner; it takes heat from inside the house and deposits it outside - leaving the inside cool. In the winter, it is reversed so that instead of depositing the hot air outside, it pushes it inside to heat your home (hence the name).
-
There are several ways that ductless heat pumps can be used as a heating and cooling solution in your home. Here are four common applications:
AS A SUPPLEMENT TO CENTRAL AC AND/OR HEATING SYSTEM for spaces that were added on to a house or are located at the furthest end of the existing ductwork.
FOR ROOMS THAT NEED ADDITIONAL HEATING/COOLING such as a sunroom or for a space that requires independent temperature control like a home office.
AS A COST-EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVE FOR AN ADDITIONAL LIVING SPACE such as a bonus room, studios, cottages & barns, garages, finished attics & basements.
FOR HOMES/SPACES THAT CAN NOT ACCOMMODATE CONVENTIONAL DUCTWORK older homes and antique homes typically do not have space to install ductwork.
-
While they are typically not used as the single heat source for a home, ductless heat pumps or mini splits are a great way to offset your energy bill in late fall and early spring when the days are cooler and many new models can handle a wider range of temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Heat pumps are energy-efficient devices that can both heat and cool your home or business. They work by transferring heat from one place to another, rather than generating heat like traditional furnaces. In the winter, they absorb heat from the outside air (even when it’s cold) and transfer it inside to warm your space. In the summer, they reverse the process by pulling heat from inside your home and releasing it outdoors, effectively cooling the area. Heat pumps are known for their efficiency because they move heat rather than generate it, making them a greener alternative to conventional heating and cooling systems.

Ductless cooling systems offer greater flexibility than traditional ducted systems, as they can be installed in homes or buildings without existing ductwork. They are also more energy efficient, offer individual temperature control for each room or zone, are relatively quiet, and are easy to install.
-
It is recommended to have your ductless cooling system serviced by a professional technician once a year to ensure that it is running efficiently and to catch any potential issues before they become major problems.
-
Yes, ductless cooling systems are relatively easy to install compared to traditional ducted systems. They do not require any ductwork, which can save time and money on installation. However, it is recommended to have a professional technician install the system to ensure proper installation and avoid any potential issues.
