Questions
Asked on most site walks.
Does a heat pump keep up on a cold morning?
At 38°F a modern inverter unit still delivers well over 80% of its rated heat. We size it for the coldest Santa Clara design day, not an average.
Can I keep my furnace?
Yes, as a dual-fuel system: the heat pump runs most of the year and the furnace takes over on the few coldest mornings.
Ducted or ductless?
Good ducts: ducted. No ducts or an addition: ductless heads or a slim-duct unit in the ceiling.
