What is a Mini-Split Heat Pump?
A mini-split system is composed of two components: an outdoor condensing unit and one or more indoor air handling units, connected by a conduit through your wall. They usually have no ducts, but can sometimes have a short duct system. Mini-split heat pumps can produce cooling for the summer months and heating in the winter months.
What you should know…
Mini-split heat pumps can be installed by any MA licensed HVAC contractor
As with any home improvement, it is good practice to obtain quotes from multiple contractors.
Typical objectives of installing a Mini-split heat pump can include:
Reduce the amount of heat supplied by Oil, Propane or Electric Resistance
Heating and cooling an individual room
Heating and cooling the whole house
Regardless of your objective, be clear about understanding what sized unit is right for your space, and how your mini-split heat pump will perform in freezing temperatures.
How the Mini-Split Rebate Program Works:
Contact your HVAC contractor to determine which HVAC equipment is right for your home.
Have your contractor review the mail-in Mini-Split Heat Pump Rebate Application with you.

I’d never heard of heat pump systems before, so this was an interesting read. I think having a small unit that can provide heat in the winter and cooling in the summer is a pretty awesome idea, honestly. The fact that there are some businesses offering rebates for the same type of technology makes it an even easier choice. Thanks for sharing!
