A ductless heating and cooling system is a highly efficient zonal heating and cooling system that does not require the use of air ducts. Ductless systems consist of an outdoor compressor unit and one or more indoor air-handling units, called “heads”, linked by a dedicated refrigerant line. Indoor heads are typically mounted high on a wall or ceiling covering a 3-inch hole where the refrigerant line passes through from the outside unit, which is mounted at the base of the house. Each indoor head corresponds with a heating and cooling zone that can be controlled independently. 

Ductless Heat Pump (DHP) incentives are provided by the Bonneville Power Administration and administered through the City's conservation program for electrically heated homes. Incentives are on a first come first serve basis until the budget is exhausted. 

**Check with the City's conservation program for available funds prior to starting a project.

 NOTE: Generally bids from installers do not include the electrical costs.
