Ductless Heat Pump Installation in Maine & New Hampshire

Quick answer: Local Energy, LLC installs and services Mitsubishi Electric, Samsung and Daikin ductless mini-split heat pumps for homes and businesses across Southern Maine, Central Maine and New Hampshire’s Mount Washington Valley. Every install starts with a Manual J heat loss calculation, and as an Efficiency Maine registered vendor we help you claim available rebates.

A ductless mini-split pairs an outdoor unit with one or more indoor heads connected by a small refrigerant line, so there’s no ductwork to install. It heats in winter, cools in summer, and lets you set each room to its own temperature. For older Maine and New Hampshire homes without ducts, additions, finished basements and garages, it’s often the simplest way to add efficient heat and air conditioning.

Brands We Install and Service

• Mitsubishi Electric, including the Hyper-Heat cold-climate line
• Daikin, including the Aurora cold-climate series
• Samsung HVAC

We focus on these three brands so our technicians know the equipment inside and out. We don’t install or service other ductless brands.

• Your finalized invoice and AHRI certificates for rebate applications

Do Ductless Heat Pumps Work Below Zero?

Modern cold-climate heat pumps are built for Maine and New Hampshire winters. They use variable-speed compressors designed to keep pulling heat from outdoor air well below 0°F. Many of our customers use a heat pump as their main heat source and keep their existing boiler or furnace as backup for the coldest nights.

Ductless or Central Heat Pump?

If your home already has good ductwork, a central (ducted) heat pump may be a better fit. If it doesn’t, ductless usually costs less to install and gives you room-by-room control. See our comparison: Ductless Mini-Split vs. Central Heat Pump.

Rebates and Financing

As an Efficiency Maine registered vendor, we help Maine homeowners take advantage of current heat pump rebates. New Hampshire customers may qualify for NHSaves incentives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do ductless heat pumps work in a Maine winter?

Yes. The cold-climate systems we install, including Mitsubishi Electric Hyper-Heat and Daikin Aurora, use variable-speed compressors built to keep heating well below 0°F. Many homes also keep their existing boiler or furnace as backup for the coldest stretches.

Which ductless heat pump brands do you install?

We install and service Mitsubishi Electric, Samsung HVAC and Daikin ductless systems. We don’t install or service other brands.

Are there rebates for ductless heat pumps in Maine?

Yes. Efficiency Maine heat pump rebates are still active, with up to $1,000 per outdoor unit for all households (capped at $3,000) and higher tiers for moderate- and low-income households. We’re an Efficiency Maine registered vendor and provide the invoice and AHRI certificates you need to apply. Program amounts change, so we confirm current figures at your estimate.

What about New Hampshire?

NHSaves offers per-ton incentives for qualifying ducted and ductless heat pumps, with a higher tier when the heat pump replaces electric resistance heat. We confirm the current rate for your project.

How do you decide how many indoor units I need?

We run an ACCA Manual J heat loss calculation on every install. That tells us how much heat each part of your home actually needs, so the system isn’t oversized or undersized.

Can I finance a heat pump?

Yes. We work with Efficiency Maine Green Bank loans and NEIF EnergyPlus loans. See our Financing page for current terms.
