What are the benefits of a heat pump?
The effectiveness of a heat pump in your house will astound you! We at Superior CO-OP HVAC are happy to reassure you that we can offer a year-round climate control solution. In the summer, a heat pump will remove the heated air from your house and keep you cool. Our heat pumps work in reverse throughout the winter, drawing heat from the outside air and transferring it into your home. This procedure is effective down to temperatures as low as -15 degrees Fahrenheit. A heat pump heats your home by sucking in cold air, passing it over specialized heating coils, and then circulating it around your house to give you heat in the winter. This is similar to how an air conditioner in reverse works. The cost reductions from using a Superior CO-OP HVAC heat pump are its finest feature.

Reduce Your Heating & Cooling Bills Dramatically
Zoned comfort & smart home technology dramatically reduce your monthly expenses.
“We are very happy with the heat pump and cassettes; they look great and feel even better. It was a pleasure working with Josh and Brett and they did a meticulous job of putting in cassettes, as I said, they look great!
From start to finish, from your initial visit, the online appt. and invoicing, and installation was a very positive experience. Also, just wanted to let you know I paid the balance of our bill this morning using my debit card.
Best wishes for continued success!”

The Advantages of ENERGY STAR Certified Ductless Heat Pumps
“Ductless” mini-split heat pumps, which have been around for a while in Europe and Asia, vary from conventional house heating and cooling systems by using a heat pump to deliver heating and cooling simultaneously.
For many years, heat pumps have been employed, mostly in temperatures in the South.
- Do not use ductwork. Ductless mini-split heat pumps employ an indoor unit coupled to an outside unit in place of cumbersome, difficult-to-install ducting.
- Through refrigeration lines (which only need a three-inch hole in an outdoor wall for installation).
- One outdoor unit can be connected to up to 8 indoor units enabling various climates in each room.
- Each indoor unit may deliver personalized heating and cool to each conditioned space, controllable via wall consoles, remotes, and smartphone apps.
- Reducing the cost of heating by 50% in comparison to traditional electric heating systems.
- ENERGY STAR ductless mini-splits consume less energy than conventional electric resistance-based heating systems since they transfer heat rather than produce it.
- Reducing cooling expenses from traditional room air conditioners.
- Advanced compressors and variable-speed fans.
Typical Uses for Ductless Heat Pumps
- Homes with expensive electric heat (electric radiant baseboards, wall heaters, and furnaces) that also benefit from cooling.
- Older houses without ductwork that have never had central AC (radiators or baseboard heat).
- Homes with costly central heating systems because of high fuel costs or inefficient systems.
- Extensions or outbuildings where it is not practical to expand ducting.
- Spaces that aren’t frequently used (indoor units can be turned off to save money).
- Places where ductwork would be exposed to colder temperatures next to unconditioned spaces.
- New housing buildings in locations with high fuel prices.
- Older business structures without ductwork for extensions or air conditioning.
Additional Developments: Alternative Indoor Units and Cold Climate Heating
Modern heat pumps can function better in cold temperatures because they use sophisticated compressors and refrigerants. If this is a problem, seek ENERGY STAR models with a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) of over 12.0 BTU/Wh.
Available Utility Incentives
Depending on the system being replaced, some regional utilities will offer refunds (rebates) for ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems. We will help you identify what you qualify for and apply where applicable.
Heat Pump Myths Debunked
Heat Pumps Create Heat
Unlike other types of heating solutions, heat pumps don’t create heat — they move it from one place to another.
A Heat Pump Won’t Keep You as Warm as a Gas Furnace or Wood Stove
Ductless heating systems are designed to keep air consistently comfortable instead of providing “bursts” of heat, reducing hot/cold spots.
Gas Furnaces Are More Energy Efficient Than Heat Pumps
A high-efficiency gas furnace is about 90% efficient, while a heat pump can deliver 2–3 units of heat per unit of electricity under many conditions.
If You Have a Heat Pump, You Can’t Use Any Other Heating System
Heat pumps can be used alongside baseboard heat, wood stoves, and other systems if desired.
Heat Pumps Don’t Work in Weather That Is Too Cold
Mitsubishi Electric uses patented flash injection and Hyper-Heating INVERTER® (H2i®) technology to produce efficient heating in very low temperatures.
Heat Pump FAQs
What is a heat pump?
Heat pumps transfer heat by circulating refrigerant through a cycle of evaporation and condensation. A compressor moves refrigerant between heat exchanger coils.
Is a heat pump a good idea?
Heat pumps are among the most efficient heating options available and also provide cooling in summer for year-round comfort.
What are the pros and cons of a heat pump?
Pros often include lower running costs, cooling + heating, and long lifespan. Cons can include higher upfront cost and the need for proper sizing and design.
Are heat pumps worth the money?
For many homeowners, yes—especially when replacing oil/propane/electric resistance systems and when rebates/financing are available.
Which is better: furnace or heat pump?
Heat pumps are typically more efficient because transferring heat is easier than creating it. The best choice depends on fuel type, home layout, and climate.
What about cold-climate heat pumps?
THE PROVEN TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE HYPE
Cold climate heat pump technology produced by Mitsubishi can collect heat from the air even on cold days by circulating a refrigerant. Mitsubishi’s flash injection circuit is designed to support performance in colder conditions.
THE MOST ADVANCED COLD CLIMATE HEAT PUMP TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE
Low-ambient heating is where many systems struggle. Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat Plus technology is designed to maintain strong heating performance in very cold temperatures.
Sensors for use in cold-weather heat pumps
EXPERIENCE AN EVEN TEMPERATURE IN THE ROOM THROUGH THE USE OF THE 3D I-SEE SENSOR. The 3D i-see Sensor can map a room into zones and adjust comfort accordingly.
Next step: furnace-to-heat-pump switching
If you’re switching from an oil, propane, or gas furnace, we’ll size the system correctly, lay out rebates/financing, and build a plan that prioritizes comfort and long-term operating cost. Start with an in-home consultation:
