Types of Heat Pumps
Ducted Heat Pumps
Ducted heat pumps connect to your home's ductwork, delivering warm or cool air through vents throughout your home. These systems work like central air conditioners but provide both heating and cooling. They're perfect for homeowners who already have ductwork and are looking for reliable comfort.
Ductless Heat Pumps
Also called mini-splits, ductless heat pumps don't need air ducts to function. Instead, they use individual indoor units mounted on walls or ceilings. Each unit connects to an outdoor heat pump, letting you control temperatures in different rooms separately. They're ideal for homes without ductwork or for adding comfort to specific areas like additions or sunrooms.
How Heat Pumps Work
Heat pumps don't create heat – they move it from one place to another. In winter, they extract heat from the outside air and move it into your home. In summer, they work like an air conditioner, removing heat from inside your home. This process makes heat pumps much more efficient than traditional heating and cooling systems.
