Many homeowners interested in reducing their carbon footprint are choosing to switch to mini-split heat pumps to heat and cool their homes. These devices use energy very effectively, delivering one-and-a-half to three times more heat energy to a building than the electrical energy they consume. Steven Pak from the Con Edison Energy Efficiency team explains how mini-splits work and what are the advantages to installing them in your home.
