Air-Source Heat Pump
Heat pump technology has improved dramatically over the years - and continues to improve.
BENEFITS
All-climate heat pumps can maintain heating capacities at very low temperatures without the use of a backup heat source.
Inverter technology also known as variable-speed control produces less noise and keeps a more consistent temperature.
New slim or 'pancake' designs can make retrofitting easy.
Ductless options are great for additions or single room spaces.
