What makes ducted heat pumps different in Coastal San Diego?
La Jolla, Pacific Beach, and Coronado houses that already have trunks can take a ducted heat pump in place of a furnace and AC pair. Attic moisture and salt air still degrade duct insulation and mastic. The contractor should test ducts before the swap and repair leakage or insulation that would waste the new equipment.

Oceanfront and near-ocean community with consistent marine layer, salt-air exposure, and mild year-round temperatures averaging 60 to 72 degrees. La Jolla, Pacific Beach, and Coronado houses that already have trunks can take a ducted heat pump in place of a furnace and AC pair.
What is the difference between a ducted heat pump and a ductless mini-split?
A ducted heat pump uses existing supply and return ducts to distribute air to every room through wall or ceiling registers. A ductless mini-split uses individual wall-mounted indoor heads, one per zone, with no ductwork required. Ducted systems suit homes with existing infrastructure in good shape. Ductless systems are better for homes without ducts or for targeted zone additions.
Do I need to replace my ductwork when installing a heat pump?
Not always. The contractor tests the existing ducts for leakage and sizing. Leakage that is high enough to waste capacity should be sealed or repaired. Replacement is a separate decision when ducts are damaged or too small. Heat Pro SD does not use a 15 percent cutoff.
