Ductless Heat Pumps
A Ductless Heat Pump System is a cost-effective and efficient heating and cooling system for smaller homes. It is ideal if you are currently heating your home with baseboard or wall heaters. You can switch to a much more efficient Ductless Heat Pump system, without having to install ductwork throughout your home. Because the Ductless Heat Pump both heats and cools, it also replaces the need for window air conditioners.
Ductless heating and cooling systems give you more control over your home’s heating and air conditioning, meaning you’ll be comfortable all year long.
