Select the type of split system heating & cooling system that you would like to have in your home. Below are three different types of this kind of system with brief explanations as to how they work.

Heat pump condenser (used for first stage of heating) matched with cased a-coil, and gas furnace (used for auxilary heating, when the temp. is below freezing).

For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners. Like your refrigerator, heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space into a warm, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house; during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide up to 4 times the amount of energy they consume.
