What Is a Ducted Heat Pump?

A ducted heat pump, also called a central heat pump or ducted central heat pump, is a whole-home heating and cooling system. It connects an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler that sends warm or cool air through your ductwork and out the vents you already use.

Unlike a mini-split, which uses individual wall-mounted units, a ducted system works through a central air distribution system. That makes it a strong fit for buildings that already have ducts, central air conditioning or a forced-air furnace.

Ducted heat pumps are commonly used for:

Homes with existing ductwork

Oil-to-heat-pump conversions

Central heating and cooling upgrades

Larger homes that need whole-home comfort

Commercial and light commercial spaces

Owners who prefer hidden indoor equipment

Why Homeowners Choose Ducted Heat Pumps

Heating and cooling from one central system

Even temperatures throughout the home

No visible indoor wall units

An efficient replacement for an older furnace or oil system

Works with many existing duct systems

May qualify for provincial rebate programs

Is a Ducted Heat Pump Right for Your Space?

Your home or building already has ductwork

You use a furnace or central air system now

You want whole-home heating and cooling

You’d rather not have wall-mounted indoor units

You’re replacing oil heat or an older forced-air system

You want consistent comfort across multiple rooms

No ductwork? A mini-split is usually simpler and less disruptive.

Switching From an Oil Furnace

Many homes in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador still heat with an oil furnace, and that furnace usually comes with the ductwork a heat pump needs. If your ducts are in good shape, a ducted heat pump can often use them, which keeps the job simpler than starting from scratch.

We check your ducts during the assessment and tell you upfront if anything needs to change. In Newfoundland and Labrador, takeCHARGE’s Oil to Electric Incentive Program is aimed at exactly this switch.

We’ll inspect it during a free heat pump assessment and tell you whether any changes are needed.

Ducted vs. Mini-Split Heat Pumps
