As heat pumps—also called ductless mini-split systems—become more popular in Southwestern Ontario, more homeowners are considering installing this alternate heating system when it comes time for a furnace replacement. Deciding on a heat pump or furnace will depend on a number of factors, and it’s important to choose a new heating system that meets your specific needs.

A heat pump system replaces not only the furnace but air conditioner as well. If you’ve just upgraded your AC system and are now looking to upgrade your furnace, remember that ductless systems provide both heating and cooling.

If you’re building an addition to your home or have a home without ductwork—a heat pump is a perfect solution as it doesn’t require ducts to distribute air throughout the home. Instead, mounted indoor units are directly connected to the outdoor unit.

Heat pumps are incredibly energy efficient and allow for zoned heating and cooling—which ensures you’re only heating (or cooling) areas of the home that are currently being used, furthering energy savings.

In some instances, installing a new high-efficiency furnace makes the most sense, while other time a ductless system is the better choice.
