For commercial electric customers
Today's ductless heat pumps can reduce the amount of electricity you use to heat your business by approximately 50% compared to electric resistance heaters, resulting in significantly lower operating costs.
In addition to heating, ductless heat pumps also provide air conditioning, and they dehumidify better than standard central air conditioners, which lowers energy usage and boosts comfort during the summer.

Additional Information
Ductless heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to electric-resistance heating and air conditioners for all climates. Like your refrigerator, ductless heat pumps use electricity to transfer heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, ductless heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm business. During the cooling season, ductless heat pumps move heat from your business into the outdoors. Because they transfer heat rather than generate heat, ductless heat pumps can efficiently provide comfortable temperatures for your business.
