What is the difference between a ducted heat pump and a ductless mini-split?
A ducted heat pump uses existing supply and return ducts to distribute air to every room through wall or ceiling registers. A ductless mini-split uses individual wall-mounted indoor heads, one per zone, with no ductwork required. Ducted systems suit homes with existing infrastructure in good shape. Ductless systems are better for homes without ducts or for targeted zone additions.
Do I need to replace my ductwork when installing a heat pump?
Not always. The crew tests the existing ducts for leakage. If leakage is under 15%, the ducts typically work fine with the new system. Higher leakage rates warrant sealing or repair. Replacement is usually not necessary unless ducts are severely damaged or improperly sized.
