Ductless Heat Pumps

OPALCO members are making the super efficiency switch to Ductless Heat Pumps! Many are utilizing our on-bill financing program to start saving now (no money down) while paying for the project over ten years.

These highly efficient systems save homeowners up to 50% on their energy usage for heating – year-round and for the life of the project – up to 20 years. Ductless Heat Pump benefits include a heating and cooling system all-in-one,  increased year-round comfort, and they qualify for rebates from OPALCO.  Members can also use our Switch It Up! program to finance a ductless heat pump system – including installation.

For members who have already installed a ductless heat pump, here are some pro-tips for maximizing the benefits of your system: DHP_Homeowners-Guide.

Read this story about the Olson’s who made the switch and are enjoying not relying on wood heat all winter long – and who are saving money even as they pay the finance charge each month!
