      I just moved to BC and replacing my baseboard heaters (no cooling) with ductless split heat pumps is on my project list for next year.

        We upgraded our furnace ahead of schedule because we kept having problems with the A/C. Our heating/cooling costs dropped by 55% over the following year. Moving the heat around is 4x more efficient than resistive heating.
