Heat pumps and ductless mini-splits
Denver heat pump &
ductless options.
Considering one system for heating and cooling, or a separate solution for a hard-to-condition room? Explore heat pumps and ductless mini-splits with Perfectly Balanced HVAC.
Equipment choices explained
Begin with the home,
then compare systems.
Heat pumps move heat to provide heating and cooling. Whether a ducted system or ductless mini-split fits your home depends on the rooms, existing equipment, and installation requirements.
01
Ducted heat pump options
For a home with ductwork, discuss how a heat pump would connect with the existing distribution system. Equipment selection should account for the home’s heating and cooling needs and any changes required.
02
Ductless mini-split options
Ductless systems can serve individual spaces without distributing air through a conventional duct network. Room layout, indoor-unit placement, and the number of spaces involved affect the design.
03
Replacement planning
Bring your current system information and a list of comfort priorities. Compare the proposed equipment, installation work, controls, and any necessary supporting changes before making a selection.
A heat pump planning checklist
What belongs in
the comparison?
01 / ROOMS
Define the spaces to serve.
Is the goal whole-home heating and cooling, an addition, or a room with its own schedule? Identify the spaces involved before comparing system layouts.
02 / EXISTING SETUP
Discuss what is already installed.
Share your furnace, AC, thermostat, and ductwork information where known. The existing setup helps identify the questions an assessment should resolve.
03 / PROJECT SCOPE
Compare complete proposals.
Look at the equipment specified, rooms covered, controls, and installation work. Check current program eligibility separately if incentives influence your decision.
Heat pump FAQ
Understand your
heat pump choices.
Can a heat pump provide both heating and cooling?
Yes. Heat pumps transfer heat rather than producing it by burning fuel. The direction of heat transfer changes between heating and cooling operation; the right system still needs to suit the home.
How is a ductless system different from a ducted heat pump?
A ducted system distributes conditioned air through ductwork. A ductless mini-split uses indoor units serving particular spaces. The layout and intended coverage determine which approach is worth considering.
Can I keep existing equipment with a heat pump?
That depends on the equipment, controls, and proposed design. Ask which existing components can remain and which would need changes rather than assuming every upgrade requires the same scope.
How should I check heat pump incentives?
Check the current utility or program rules for your address and the proposed equipment before including an incentive in your budget. Eligibility, amounts, and application requirements can change.

Heating & furnaces
If the immediate concern is a furnace fault, start with heating service. A repair assessment can inform whether to keep the existing system or investigate another setup.
