With a zoned solution like a ductless heat pump, you can save energy and control temperatures independently in up to eight separate zones, all with a single outdoor unit.
Ductless heat pumps are exactly that – heat pumps that don’t need ductwork to operate but rather are wall-mounted, giving homeowners the ability to customize the airflow in their home. A ductless system can be especially cost-efficient if your home doesn’t have existing ductwork or needs new ductwork.
This system is split into two units: the inside, wall-mounted unit (also known as a “head”) and the outside condensing unit. Smart inverter technology means that ductless air conditioners can easily maintain desired room temperatures. This is especially beneficial for those looking to control the temperature of a specific room in their home, like the top floor or a home office.
A heat pump is an electrical device that extracts heat from one place and transfers it to another. The heat pump is not a new technology – it has been used in Canada and around the world for decades. Refrigerators and air conditioners are both common examples of this technology.
Since the ground and air outside always contain some heat, a heat pump can supply heat to a house even on cold winter days.
Unlike forced air furnaces that require gas to heat the air, a heat pump only requires a little electricity to run. They are an ideal option for those wanting an environmentally friendly option, as a large portion of the energy used to heat or cool your home comes from the outside air, a free and infinitely renewable resource.
Did you know?
In the average house, you’re losing 25% or more of your energy to ductwork. By removing ducts, you improve the efficiency of your system.
And that’s why A1’s Solution Specialists are trained by the best and ready to answer any questions you may have. A1 is determined to help you find the right zoned solution that will allow you to own your air and achieve customized comfort throughout your entire home.

Our Solutions Specialists can help you estimate savings that are more specific to your home and your current heating sources.
But according to studies done by the Environmental Protection Agency, air source heat pumps can reduce electricity usage for heating by up to 50% compared to electrical furnaces and baseboard heaters. Cold climate heat pumps are engineered for efficiency, but for optimal savings, systems need to be correctly designed and installed. Factors like the age and type of your home construction & cold weather performance of the heat pump can impact the system’s efficiency.
Heat pumps definitely have higher upfront installation costs. If you are using your heat pump to only heat your home (no cooling), then a heat pump costs more to install than a gas furnace. However, if you need to cool AND heat your home, a heat pump can cost about the same to install a new gas furnace with an AC. With a heat pump, you will experience better performance & increased energy efficiency over time.
No, they are not noisy – heat pumps are virtually silent. Heat pump technology has evolved over time and new heat pumps are now much more efficient and much quieter. Look for a unit that is 60 decibels or less.
Heat pumps don’t use flammable gases to heat your home, so there is no risk of gas by-products like carbon monoxide which can be harmful if proper safety precautions are not followed.
Yes, the name can be misleading but heat pumps are designed for both cooling and heating.
