What are the key advantages of a ductless heat pump versus a wood or pellet stove?
One key advantage is that ductless heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, and so offer year-round comfort. In addition, their installed cost is often significantly less than either alternative and their operating costs are generally lower (e.g., typically a third less than pellet). Plus, there’s no fuel handling or on-site storage required and no maintenance beyond simply cleaning the air filter about every 400 hours. They also won’t impact your home’s insurance rates.
