A heat pump is a heating and cooling system for your home that is far more efficient than traditional systems. It works by extracting heat outside, even on very cold days, and transferring that heat through refrigerant lines to one or more inside units that circulate the heat in your home.
It reverses this process to act as an air conditioner when in cooling mode. In addition, heat pumps have a dry mode for dehumidification and a fan mode for days when you just want to open the windows and use it as a ceiling fan.

Peace of Mind Guarantee
Each of our systems comes with a Valley Peace of Mind Guarantee. This means that during the first year after your installation, you will not be charged for the cost of labor in the event of a necessary service visit. We provide this added coverage because we want you to be completely satisfied and be able to trust the quality of the installation of your new system. Parts are covered for applicable service calls under the manufacturer warranty. This included membership is valid even without committing to an annual membership later.

Why are heat pumps so efficient?
Heat pumps are powered by electricity (240-volt AC), and they save the average Mainer 50 percent on their heating costs. They are approximately two times more efficient than “window rattler” air conditioners. Unlike other economical heating methods such as wood stoves and pellet stoves, heat pumps require very little maintenance, can be left on while you’re away, and are not combustion-based.
What are the advantages of mini-split heat pump systems?
Beyond the dual (or “split”) heating and cooling functionality, mini-split systems provide a host of benefits, including:
- Individual zoning that allows you to personalize comfort in different rooms
- Independent operation of units via remote control
- High energy efficiency
- Quiet operation
- Wall mounting or floor mounting options
Fujitsu has multiple systems that are qualified as ENERGY STAR Most Efficient, which means that they are eligible for rebates with Efficiency Maine.
