Considerations for Ductless or Mini Split Heat Pumps

Heat Pump installations in Bedford, Sackville, Tantallon, Dartmouth, Halifax, Hammonds Plains, Fall River, Chester, all areas in-between and some beyond.

Proper heat pump selection and installation is KEY

A bigger heat pump is not better as far as size is concerned because it all depends on the space you want to heat/cool.

One of the most important choices you will make in buying a ductless heat pump is which contractor to hire. A good heat pump contractor will correctly size your heat pump and ensure the equipment is installed properly. (Please refer to our common questions for more information.) They will respond promptly when you have a problem, provide ongoing maintenance, and act as a go-between with the manufacturer to replace failed parts under warranty.

A site-visit and consultation is always needed to choose optimal ductless heat pump size, features and installation. Whether you live in Bedford, Sackville, Tantallon, Dartmouth, Halifax, Fall River, Chester or Musquodoboit, we have your heat pump requirements covered and have compiled a list of important considerations.
