How does a mini split heat pump work?
A mini split heat pump is a heating and cooling system that provides temperature control for your home or a specific room without using traditional air ducts. It’s made up of two main parts:
- Outdoor unit: This contains the compressor and condenser, and it sits outside your house.
- Indoor unit: This is the air handler mounted inside the room, usually on a wall or ceiling.
These two units are connected by a small set of refrigerant lines and electrical wiring, running through a tiny hole in your wall.
A mini split heat pump works by transferring heat rather than generating it by burning fuel or using resistance electric heating. It can both heat and cool a space by reversing the flow of refrigerant.
In cooling mode:
The system extracts heat from inside your home and transfers it outside, cooling the indoor air. This is just like a regular air conditioner.
In heating mode:
The system reverses the process, pulling heat from the outdoor air—even in cold weather—and bringing it inside to warm your home.
This heat transfer process makes mini split heat pumps energy efficient because they move heat instead of creating it. This allows a heat pump to provide year-round indoor comfort – no matter what the season is.
In the warmer months, the heat pump can act as an air conditioner – drawing out interior heat and humidity, and redirecting it to the outside. During colder months, heat from the outdoor air is extracted and transferred to the interior of your home. Believe it or not, even a 32°F day produces enough heat to warm your home. Science is amazing!
For example, when there is a temperature difference such as your 98.6°F body and 32°F air, heat is transferred from the warmer object to the cooler air. This is why you start to feel cold! So when you’re trying to pull heat from 32°F air, you have to put it in contact with something even colder. That’s the job of the refrigerant in a heat pump.
Colder months: Heat pumps pulls heat from the outside air and transfer the heat to your home.
Warmer months: Heat pumps pulls warm air and humidity from inside your home and transfer it outside, leaving cooler air indoors.

F.A.Q.
Conventional Heat Pumps and Ductless Heat Pumps are the most efficient ways to heat & cool your home available today. If you have any questions about heat pumps, feel free to reach out to our friendly plumbing & heating experts.
What is a ductless heat pump system?
Ductless heat pump systems consist of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air blower units, often called “heads”.
Indoor heads are typically mounted high on a wall or in a recessed ceiling fixture. Each indoor head is added to a heating in your home or building and cooling zone that can be controlled independently.
Do I still need my old baseboard heaters or furnace?
With a ductless heat pump system, we encourage you to keep your existing electric baseboard heaters as a backup source of heat on days when the temperature gets below zero or in rooms where the heads can’t reach.
We can explain the advantages and disadvantages of various backup heat systems for your specific home or building needs.
How long will a heat pump last?
We often see many of the systems installed during the 1980’s still functioning well today.
What incentives are available for heat pumps?
BC Hydro and Fortis BC frequently offer incentives as well.
