Heat Pumps & Mini Splits

Efficient Heating and Cooling for Year Round Comfort

Heat pumps provide both heating and air conditioning from one system. Instead of creating heat by burning fuel, a heat pump transfers heat between your home and the outdoors. During the summer, the process reverses to provide efficient air conditioning.

Modern heat pump systems are designed to operate efficiently in a wide range of outdoor temperatures, making them an option for homeowners throughout Connecticut.

How Does a Heat Pump Work?

A heat pump uses a refrigeration cycle to move heat rather than generate it.

• Heating: The system extracts available heat from the outdoor air and transfers it into your home.

• Cooling: The system reverses operation, removing heat from inside your home and releasing it outdoors.

Because heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it through combustion, they can provide efficient heating and cooling while eliminating the need for separate heating and air-conditioning equipment.

Benefits of Heat Pumps

Heating and Cooling in One System
A heat pump can provide both winter heating and summer air conditioning.

Energy Efficiency
Because heat pumps transfer heat instead of producing it through combustion or electric resistance, they can deliver efficient heating and cooling.

Zoned Comfort
Many ductless and multi-zone systems allow different areas of the home to be controlled independently.

No On-Site Combustion
Heat pumps do not burn oil or gas inside the home to provide heat.

Quiet Operation
Modern heat pump systems are designed for quiet operation, both indoors and outdoors.

All-Season Comfort
With heating and cooling capabilities, a heat pump can provide comfort throughout the year.
