What is a heat pump and how does it work?
A heat pump is a highly efficient system that provides both heating and cooling by transferring heat rather than generating it. In the winter, it pulls heat from the outdoor air to warm your home. In the summer, it reverses the process to provide cool, conditioned air.
What makes an “advanced” heat pump different?
Advanced heat pumps use inverter-driven technology, variable-speed compressors, and high-performance refrigerants to deliver superior efficiency, precise temperature control, and reliable comfort—even in extreme cold climates like Massachusetts.
Are heat pumps effective in cold New England weather?
Yes. Modern cold-climate heat pumps are engineered to perform exceptionally well in temperatures far below freezing. Metro West Mini Splits installs top-rated cold-climate systems that deliver consistent, comfortable heat even on the coldest winter days.
What types of heat pump systems do you install?
We install a full range of heat pump options, including:
- Ductless mini split heat pumps

What are the benefits of switching to a heat pump?
Homeowners choose heat pumps for their:
- High energy efficiency
- Lower heating and cooling costs

Will a heat pump lower my monthly energy bills?
In most cases, yes. Advanced heat pumps are among the most efficient HVAC technologies available, often cutting heating and cooling costs significantly—especially when replacing older oil, propane, or electric resistance systems.
Do heat pumps require a lot of maintenance?
Not at all. Regular filter cleaning, annual inspections, and routine system checks keep your heat pump running at peak performance. Metro West Mini Splits offers maintenance services to help extend system life and protect your investment.
