Frequently Asked Questions about Heat Pump Installation

What is a ductless mini-split heat pump, and is it right for me?

A ductless mini-split heat pump provides a flexible and efficient way to heat and cool spaces without ductwork. It's ideal for homes without existing ductwork, additions, or spaces where extending ductwork isn't practical. Mini-splits are also a good option for improving comfort in specific areas of your house or addressing hot or cold spots. They consist of one or more indoor units connected to an outdoor compressor.

What is a dual-fuel heat pump system?

A dual-fuel heat pump system integrates a heat pump with a backup heating source, such as a gas furnace. This setup offers optimal efficiency and performance in all weather conditions. The heat pump operates as the primary heating and cooling system in mild to moderate temperatures.

What is the difference between a single-stage and two-stage heat pump?

There are two main types of heat pumps:
Single-stage heat pumps operate at a single capacity level. They either are on or off, which can lead to temperature fluctuations and higher energy bills.
Two-stage heat pumps can operate at two capacity levels – low and high. The low-stage setting provides consistent heating or cooling for most days, while the higher setting activates for colder or hotter weather, ensuring optimal comfort in all conditions. Two-stage heat pumps tend to be more energy-efficient and offer better temperature control improving home comfort.
