FAQs

We offer three primary heat pump options: ductless Mitsubishi systems for homes without existing ductwork or for specific areas; ducted all-electric models that integrate with your current ductwork and include electric backup for extreme cold; and dual-fuel systems that combine an electric heat pump with a gas furnace for optimal performance in freezing conditions.

Heat pumps operate by transferring heat rather than generating it. During winter, they extract warmth from the outdoor air and move it inside. In summer, this process is reversed to cool your home. This method of operation results in high energy efficiency.

Ductless heat pumps are ideal for homes without existing ductwork, finished basements, or room additions. They allow for individual control of each indoor unit. Ducted heat pumps connect to your existing ductwork, providing whole-home heating and cooling. They offer consistent temperatures throughout the house and can utilize electric resistance backup during extremely cold weather.

The cost of a ductless heat pump system varies based on the number of zones and room sizes. A single-zone system typically ranges from $8,000 to $11,000, while multi-zone systems can cost between $10,000 and $25,000 or more, depending on the number of indoor units and installation complexity.

Heat pumps can contribute to improved indoor air quality. They don't burn fuel indoors, which eliminates the risk of harmful emissions. Additionally, ductless systems avoid the potential accumulation of dust and allergens in ductwork, further enhancing air quality.

VisionAiry Heating & Cooling employs a comprehensive, whole-home approach to heat pump installation. We consider your entire home as an interconnected system, recognizing that factors such as insulation, air sealing, ductwork, and ventilation all impact overall comfort and energy efficiency. Our process includes a thorough consultation, home performance testing, evaluation of existing systems, custom system design, expert installation, and a detailed walkthrough. This holistic approach ensures optimal performance, improved comfort, reduced energy costs, and increased system longevity.
