Types of Heat Pumps

Ductless Heat Pumps

Ductless heat pumps, also known as mini-splits, are becoming the most sought-after choice for heating and cooling homes and businesses. In contrast to conventional HVAC systems, ductless heat pumps do not need a central duct system as they use individual air distribution units called “heads”, which are mounted on walls in the home. Ductless heat pumps are very resourceful and help to cut down your power bills. They are also more convenient to set up than traditional HVAC systems.

Ducted Central Heat Pumps

Ducted heat pumps are a system of forced-air heating and cooling, which function like furnaces and air conditioners, but consume significantly less power and are more efficient. A ducted heat pump consists of two components: an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit includes the compressor, condenser, and evaporator, while the inside unit has a fan and blower. Ducted heat pumps are best suited for residences, workplaces, schools, and other larger buildings.
