Highly recommend Jeff and his team. They installed a ductless heat pump in our house, walked us through the options, and were easy to communicate with. The install looks clean and tidy and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We went through the winter without having to turn on the baseboard heating and after having AC this summer I can’t imagine life without it. Thanks Jeff!

What is a mini-split heat pump?
The term “mini-split” is just another term for a ductless heat pump, and the terms are interchangeable. Ductless heat pumps don’t require any ducting in your home to distribute air, and rely instead on wall-mounted indoor units to blow the heated and cooled air. Mini-split systems are great for homes that don’t already have a ducting system, or homes without complex heating needs.

What’s the difference between SEER and HPSF ratings?
SEER and HPSF are both efficiency ratings for HVAC systems, but they measure different things. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and it measures the cooling efficiency of air conditioners and heat pumps. HPSF, on the other hand, stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor, and it measures the heating efficiency of heat pumps.
-
What is the lifespan of a heat pump?
The lifespan of a heat pump can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the unit, the frequency of maintenance, and the conditions in which it operates. Most heat pumps last between 10 and 15 years.
-
What does HSPF stand for?
HSPF stands for Heating Seasonal Performance Factor. It is a measure of the efficiency of a heat pump system in heating mode. The HSPF is calculated by dividing the total heat output of the system during the heating season by the total electrical energy consumed by the system during the same period.
Generally, a higher HSPF indicates a more efficient system that can provide more heat output per unit of electrical energy consumed. However, it’s important to note that the actual performance of a heat pump system can vary depending on factors such as climate, installation, and usage patterns.
