The Most Efficient
Heat pumps can reach 400% efficiency, which is like getting $4 worth of heating or cooling for every $1 spent on electricity
All-In-One
A heat pump does the job of both A/C and a furnace or boiler, but much (much) more efficiently.
Clean Energy
Powered by electricity, the home climate system can help reduce home energy use, cut emissions, and provide true comfort.
Rebates
Thanks to their significant efficiency metrics, many heat pumps are eligible for cost-saving rebates and incentives.

How It Heats
The system pulls heat from the outside (even when it’s really cold) and moves it inside to heat your home.
How It Cools
The system pulls heat from inside your home and pumps it outside, cooling down your space.
The first modern heat pump was built by Peter von Rittinger in 1856. Today, heat pumps deliver exceptional efficiency and comfort while moving homes off fossil fuels—and their popularity is surging.
There are two types of air-source heat pumps for home climate control, both of which heat and cool more efficiently than traditional HVAC appliances. Consult with your trusted installer to determine the system that makes the best fit for your home.
Here’s how the two compare:
| Ducted Heat Pumps | Ductless Heat Pumps |
|---|---|
| A central system that provides heating and cooling through a network of ducts throughout the entire home. | A distributed system that provides heating and cooling through indoor units mounted in one or more rooms (or zones) in a home. |
| One large unit conditions the entire home, offering whole-home temperature control. | One small unit conditions each room (or zone) and allows for room-by-room temperature control. |
| For whole home conditioning, the entire system should be installed at once. | For room-by-room conditioning, indoor units can be added on (or removed) over time. |
