What is a Heat Pump?

A heat pump is an HVAC system that uses electricity to move heat into or out of your home, depending on the season. It acts as both a heating and cooling system:

  • Ducted Heat Pumps work with your home’s central air system, distributing heated or cooled air through ductwork.
  • Ductless (Mini-Split) Heat Pumps use indoor wall-mounted units to provide zoned heating and cooling without ducts.

Heat pumps are energy-efficient and effective, even in Colorado’s cold winter climate when using a cold-climate rated model.
