Heat Pump Systems & Brands We Work With
"Heat pump" covers a few different system types, and dozens of brands. Here's a plain-English guide to the systems we install and service in Cary, the brands we work with most, and how to tell which is right for your home.
Know your options
The four heat pump system types
Most Cary homes run one of these. They all move heat instead of burning fuel, they just deliver it differently.
Air-source (ducted)
The standard for the Triangle: an outdoor unit paired with an indoor air handler that pushes conditioned air through your existing ductwork. One system, heating and cooling, whole-home comfort.
Ductless mini-split
No ducts required. Wall-mounted indoor heads condition individual rooms, perfect for bonus rooms, additions, garages and older homes. Highly efficient, zone by zone.
Geothermal (ground-source)
Pulls heat from the stable temperature underground instead of the air, the most efficient option there is. Higher upfront cost and a bigger install, but unbeatable long-term running costs.
Dual-fuel (hybrid)
A heat pump paired with a gas furnace as backup. The heat pump handles most of the year efficiently; the furnace takes over on the rare bitter-cold morning. Great if you already have young gas equipment.
