Air-Source heat pumps are the most commonly used by Rhode Island homeowners. They work by extracting heat from the air outside, circulating refrigerant between an outdoor compressor and an indoor air unit and distributing it inside. Conversely, during the warmer months, this process is reversed, sending heat outside of the home and providing you with cool air.
Ductless heat pumps are easier to install, quiet and small in size. They provide flexibility for heating and cooling individual rooms, new additions and smaller spaces. Ductless heat pumps tend to be even more efficient as there is no energy loss through ductwork. Many models can have as many as four indoor air-handling units connected to one outdoor unit. This allows for customizable comfort which saves energy and money.
