Heat pumps work efficiently in Connecticut’s climate for both heating and cooling, extracting heat from outside air even in cold weather. Modern heat pumps handle Connecticut winters well, though extremely cold days may require backup heat.
Traditional furnaces burn fuel to create heat, while heat pumps move heat from one place to another, using less energy in the process. For Connecticut homeowners, heat pumps can significantly reduce energy costs compared to oil or propane heating, especially with rising fuel prices.
Ductless heat pumps offer zoned comfort control, heating or cooling specific areas without ductwork modifications. They’re ideal for additions, older homes without existing ducts, or homes where traditional ductwork installation would be disruptive or expensive.
