Residential Heat Pump & Ductless FAQs
Still have questions? Below you’ll find detailed answers to common concerns about heat pumps and ductless systems—so you can make an informed choice with confidence.
What is a heat pump, and how does it work?
A heat pump is an all-in-one heating and cooling system that transfers heat rather than generating it. In winter, it extracts warmth from the outside air (even in cold temperatures) and brings it inside. In summer, it reverses the process, removing heat from your home and releasing it outdoors. This efficient transfer of heat makes it significantly more energy-efficient than traditional furnaces and air conditioners.
What are the benefits of a ductless mini-split system?
Ductless mini-split systems offer flexible installation, zoned climate control, and whisper-quiet operation. They’re perfect for older homes, room additions, or spaces without ductwork. You can heat or cool specific rooms as needed, reducing energy waste and lowering utility bills. Their sleek design and remote control features also add a modern touch to your home’s comfort system.
Are heat pumps effective in cold Canadian winters?
Yes! Modern cold-climate heat pumps are designed to perform efficiently even in sub-zero temperatures. Many models feature advanced inverter technology that adjusts output to maintain comfort without overworking the system. In very harsh conditions, a dual-fuel system—pairing a heat pump with a gas furnace—can be used for added peace of mind.
How do I know if my home is a good candidate for ductless units?
If you have rooms that are hard to heat or cool, lack ductwork, or experience inconsistent temperatures, ductless systems are a great option. They’re ideal for finished basements, sunrooms, older homes, or home additions where extending ductwork isn’t practical. Our HVAC experts will assess your home and recommend the best zoning and equipment for maximum comfort and savings.
How long do heat pumps and ductless systems last?
With proper maintenance, heat pumps and ductless mini-splits can last between 12 to 20 years. Regular servicing, filter changes, and seasonal checkups help maintain their performance and efficiency. At Vive Brant, we offer preventative maintenance programs to help extend the lifespan of your system and avoid costly repairs.
