Quiet, easy to use and energy efficient, ductless heat pumps provide home heating 
and cooling at a fraction of the cost of electric baseboard and wall heaters. The simplified installation process and energy efficiency associated with ductless heat pumps make them an excellent option for replacing existing zonal heating systems.
Ductless systems are available from many manufacturers. Each system consists of an outside unit and one or more inside “heads” that serve zones in your home. To learn more, please go to www.goingductless.com or visit our office to see a display model.
