What Configuration of Heat Pump is Right for my Home? The type of heat pump that makes the most sense depends on your situation. Below are some scenarios that can help you to gauge what is the right type of heat pump installation for you, your house, and your budget. I have an existing duct system If your home already has a furnace (a centrally ducted system that blows warm air from registers in the floor, walls, or ceiling), it may make sense to install a central ducted heat pump that either replaces, or in some cases supplements, the furnace. However, if existing ducts are mostly in the attic, garage, and/or crawlspace, they may leak so much heat and air conditioning into those spaces that it’s better to add new ductless units. I have baseboards or radiators If your home has hot water/electric heat baseboards or radiators, some ductless units or a combination of ductless and ducted may be the perfect solution. From one or two zones that can focus heating and cooling where they are needed the most, to A low-wall or “floor mounted” unit can be a great replacement for an old radiator a more comprehensive system that covers the whole house, a heat pump system can improve your comfort, reduce energy costs, and add air conditioning at the same time. A typical whole-house system may consist of two to five ductless units, or a combination with one or two ductless units and a compact-ducted system for the bedrooms. If you have steam heat, a whole- house system is often the best option; with other baseboard or radiator systems, you can go with whole-house or use the “start small” approach described below. I have one room with heating/cooling needs You may have one room or area of the house that is never comfortable, perhaps a room over a garage or a basement space.7 Perhaps you are planning an addition and you’re surprised at how expensive it is to extend your existing heating system to serve it. A single ductless unit may be a great choice for heating and cooling. That may be all you need, or it might be the first step in a “start small” approach (explained below). 7 Photos p. 4, p. 8 top-right, top-left, p. 9 bottom-left, p. 16 right, p. 18 taken from GoingDuctless.com Ductless Image Library, used with permission from the NW Ductless Heat Pump Project, 2019 9PDF Image | Air Source Heat Pump Buying Guide
