Why Install a Heat Pump in Your Home?
- More Energy Efficient: Heat pumps are much more energy efficient than legacy heating and cooling systems like gas furnaces and air conditioners.
- Lower Utility Bills: More energy efficiency means less energy waste, so you’ll experience lower utility bills all year long.
- Safer: Heat pumps don’t combust fuel, so there’s no risk of carbon monoxide leaks in the home.
- Quieter: Most heat pumps operate at low decibels, ensuring that your family can enjoy true whole-home comfort.
- Dual Function: Heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling, so you don’t have to rely on separate systems anymore (or, add AC to your home for the first time!).
What We Do
Types of Heat Pumps
Ductless Mini-Splits
Ductless heat pumps are very versatile and can be installed in a variety of home configurations. They consist of a main outdoor heat pump that’s connected through the home’s exterior to one or more indoor air handlers. They’re ideal for:
- Homes without existing ductwork.
- People who want individual climate control in separate rooms.
- Supplemental HVAC in garages, basements, and workshops.
Ducted Heat Pumps
Ducted heat pumps come in a range of sizes. They integrate seamlessly into existing ductwork, giving you heating and cooling directly through your air vents. They’re good for:
- Homes with ductwork that’s in good condition.
- People who need powerful heat pump heating and cooling.
- People who need a whole-home HVAC system.
Some homeowners in Connecticut keep their existing heating system while adding a heat pump to the mix. This is an excellent way to provide supplemental heat during cold snaps, while still enjoying the energy efficiency of a heat pump the rest of the year. We can design your heat pump installation to be compatible with and run alongside traditional heating units.
Common configurations include a furnace and a ductless mini-split for air conditioning, or a full-blown dual-fuel system where the heat pump is tied into the same ductwork as your existing heating system.
