Ductless Heat Pump Design & Installation Best Practices

Overview

Length: 4 Hours

This course will give you the tools to size, site, and install ductless heat pump systems for maximum efficiency, comfort, and longevity.

Ductless heat pumps (DHPs) have proven to be an effective solution for homes with zonal electric heat — but only when designed and installed properly.

This in-person training will help HVAC professionals, contractors, and energy efficiency teams avoid costly installation mistakes while ensuring comfort and long-term performance.

We’ll cover best practices for unit siting, site preparation, and protecting refrigerant lines, as well as effective indoor unit placement that minimizes maintenance needs. You’ll also leave with practical tips for educating homeowners and following PCEF's installation checklist.
