Get Thousands Off an Air-Source Heat Pump
About Air-Source
An air-source heat pump moves existing heat in the air from one place to another using electricity. In summer, it moves heat from inside a building to the outside like an air conditioner. In winter, it works in reverse, extracting heat from outside to bring it into a building.
A central air-source heat pump is great for buildings with existing central air-conditioner systems that need to be replaced or new construction projects. A heat pump can also provide heat in the winter, supplementing your furnace, baseboard heating, or radiator, and increasing the lifespan of your heating equipment.
Have a drafty room or a space with an irregular shape? A ductless mini-split is a small, standalone air-source heat pump that is easy to install and offers more design flexibility since indoor air handlers can be suspended from a ceiling or hung on a wall.
-
1. Floor Mounted
Ideal for retrofits or any room with limited upper wall space as its compact size fits easily under a standard window.
-
2. Slim Duct
These look most like central air, concealed with minimal ductwork mounted in a ceiling or in a framed enclosure below a ceiling.
-
3. Compact Cassette
The most discrete mini-split—only the compact cassette grille shows in the ceiling. It uses the latest fan technology to distribute the conditioned air evenly.
-
4. Wall Mounted
These mount high on a wall, out of sight. No ductwork required, and maintenance is very simple.
