How Do Ductless Heat Pumps Work?

A ductless heat pump transfers air using refrigerant expansion and compression, the same way your refrigerator operates. It works in the summer to cool, but more importantly, works in reverse in the winter to provide ample amounts of heat.
Ductless heat pumps have three main parts:

  1. An indoor unit that mounts on the wall or ceiling
  2. An outdoor unit that typically sits on the ground
  3. A remote control that operates the inside unit

The indoor and outdoor units are connected by small refrigerant lines, which are installed through a very small hole in the wall. The indoor unit then distributes the heated or cooled air into the room. The units are smaller than conventional air conditioning equipment and less intrusive. This type of system allows for easy and inexpensive installation because it eliminates the need for expensive and invasive ductwork.

Easy to Install
The ductless system design allows you to retain the original aesthetics of a room and do not require expensive and invasive ductwork. Installation is as simple as mounting the indoor unit and placing the outdoor unit on the ground, connecting the refrigerant lines, and making a few electrical connections. Most installations can be done in a day or two.

Proven Technology
Ductless systems have been around for several decades and are manufactured by many of the companies you’re used to buying products from. You can rest assure that your investment is in a verified technology that you will be happy with for many years to come.
