Mini-Split or Whole-Home System? Here’s How to Decide
When upgrading your heating and cooling, choosing the right system is key. Some homes benefit from a whole-home heat pump, while others need a mini-split for targeted comfort.
So how do you know which one is right for you? Let’s compare your options.
1. What’s the Difference?

The best option depends on your home’s layout, ductwork, and comfort needs.
2. A Whole-Home Heat Pump is Best If…
✅ You have existing ductwork—A heat pump can replace your furnace and AC.
✅ You want a seamless whole-home solution—One system for the entire house.

✅ You have problem areas—Perfect for garages, basements, sunrooms, or additions.
Mini-splits offer extreme efficiency by heating and cooling only the spaces that need it.
