Quiet, easy to use, and energy efficient, ductless heat pumps provide heating at a fraction of the cost of electric baseboard and wall heaters. They also provide cooling to keep your home comfortable year-round.
Ductless systems distribute warm or cool air quietly and evenly, making your living areas more comfortable. Installing a ductless system is low-cost and easy, which makes them an excellent option for replacing or supplementing existing electric systems.
Each ductless system consists of an outside unit and one or more inside “heads” that serves zones in your home. Find out where to shop for a ductless heat pump, or stop by our office to see a display model.

Ductless Heat Pumps Have 3 Main Parts
- An indoor unit is mounted on a wall.
- An outdoor unit sits on a concrete pad on the ground.
- A remote control is used to adjust the temperature.
The indoor and outdoor units are connected by a small bundle of cables, including a refrigerant line, that requires a 3-inch hole in the wall for installation.
How They Work
Ductless systems extract heat from the air and use it to warm your home. This is more efficient than standard electric heaters, which create their own heat.
Ductless heat pumps can also reverse the process to cool your home.
