By the modular nature of its design, a Mini-Split system is ideal for heating and cooling just one area of the home—whether it be a new addition, garage, basement or a room not being adequately served by your existing HVAC systems. (Everyone has at least one!)
Can I Add a Heat Pump to an Existing Ducted Heating and Cooling System?
While it is possible to attain the benefits of zone heating by adding a heat pump to an existing system, there are some significant drawbacks to consider:
- The existing system is only as good as its weakest part – if the system is old or in poor condition, it may be unwise to invest further in it. Any savings from an add-on heat pump will be erased if the ductwork or furnace needs to be replaced anytime soon.
- Air quality – even well maintained systems have reduced air quality over time due to accumulation of dust or contagions in ductwork
