Switching from a conventional gas furnace or electric baseboard heating to a heat pump system offers many benefits 91Ƶ both for homeowners and the environment.

Options for homes without ducting

A mini-split system features an outdoor unit that gathers heat from the air and transfers it to one or more heads mounted in different areas of the home, offering multi-zone heating and cooling.
