What is a Heat Pump? 

 

All-electric heat pumps offer a flexible, energy-efficient alternative to traditional gas furnaces, with options for whole-home systems or zoned heating and cooling in individual rooms—each designed to enhance comfort, cut emissions, and increase energy independence.

Ductless Mini-Splits 

A multi-zone ductless mini-split system is an energy-efficient heating and air conditioning system without the need for extensive ductwork, providing precise temperature control for each room - perfect for additions or retrofits.

Ducted vs Ductless?

Don't be misled by the name—electric heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in a single, energy-efficient system by transferring heat from the air, not generating it. Whether you choose a ducted or ductless system, both use the same outdoor heat pump compressor to keep your home comfortable year-round.

  • Ducted systems replace your gas furnace with an air handler that pushes heated or cooled air through your home's existing ductwork.

  • Ductless systems (or mini-splits) send refrigerant directly to indoor units, delivering zoned heating & cooling without ducts.

Both options offer green HVAC performance, lower energy bills, and a path to energy independence.

What Is a Ductless Mini-Split?

Unlike traditional central furnaces, mini-splits are mounted on walls or ceilings, allowing for individual temperature control in each room. A quiet outdoor heat pump compressor circulates refrigerant through copper tubes (the "line sets") connected to the indoor units which lightly blow the tempered air into the room. A single compressor can support up to six indoor zones so each room can maintain its preferred climate, saving energy and money - perfect for older homes, additions, or hard-to-condition spaces.

Mini-splits are also more efficient with battery power compared to traditional air conditioning, making them ideal for homes with solar and battery backup systems, even during power outages.

The Benefits of Ductless Air Conditioning

Staying cool during heat waves is essential, but traditional central AC often cools unevenly and sends PG&E bills soaring. An electric heat pump with a ductless system offers a smarter, more efficient alternative—cutting cooling costs by up to 50%, operating more quietly, and requiring less invasive installation. And because there are no ducts, you avoid energy loss from leaks and poor insulation—a problem that can waste over 30% of cooling energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. It's a smarter way to achieve energy-efficient comfort and reduce your carbon footprint.

Energy Efficient Heating & Cooling for Your Marin, Sonoma or Napa Home

Electric heat pumps, solar panels and battery storage work together to create the ultimate solution for home energy efficiency, comfort and sustainability. Solar produces clean, renewable energy that reduces your reliance on the utility grid. Batteries stores excess solar power to use when the sun isn't shining—keeping your home powered and eco-friendly day and night. That stored energy powers the electric heat pumps, which efficiently manage your heating and air conditioning year-round—even during a power outage. By switching to these electric heat pump and ductless mini-split systems, you can eliminate fossil fuels from your home and take a meaningful step toward a cleaner, more sustainable lifestyle.
