Use less energy to heat and cool your home and get cash back.

If you heat your home with electric heat, you can save significantly on your electricity bills by installing a ductless heat pump. These highly efficient zonal heating and cooling systems  do not require the use of air ducts. Ductless heat pumps consist of an outdoor compressor unit and an indoor air-handling unit, typically mounted high on a wall or ceiling, linked by a refrigerant line. Because the system is so efficient, choosing ductless can cut your heating bills by as much as 50 percent and provide reliable and comfortable heat. And because ductless systems excel at distributing warm or cool air throughout the home, they can help keep you comfortable and cool during warmer months too. Ductless heat pump units have the added advantage of not needing invasive and expensive ductwork installed, so have a short installation period of one to two days.

Energy Saving Benefits

  • Cut heating costs by up to 50 percent when you choose a ductless heat pump over electric or forced air heating systems
  • Save money by dramatically decreasing your electricity use

Environmental Benefits

  • Avoid greenhouse gas emission by using less electricity to heat and cool your home
  • Promote cleaner air through more efficient energy use
