Propane & oil heat homes
Replace the tank or keep it as backup. Either way, the mini split does the everyday heating.
Mini split up front
The mini split carries the day-to-day heating, room by room, and your propane or oil system waits in the background.
Backup that’s already there
Keep the furnace, boiler or propane heater you have as a second heat source for the coldest snaps or a power-outage plan.
Fewer delivery worries
When the mini split does most of the work, you rely less on fuel deliveries and watching the tank gauge.
No new ductwork
Boiler and room-heater homes often have no ducts. Each mini split head needs only a small wall opening and a neat line set.
Cooling and dry air too
The same system cools and dehumidifies in summer, which an oil boiler or propane heater can’t do.
Ask your insurer
Many insurers offer discounts, ask yours.
Ready to retire the tank?
A mini split can be your main heat. We design cold-climate heat pumps* sized room by room so the whole home stays comfortable without propane or oil. Many folks start hybrid and lean on the mini split more each year. Either way works. Your Comfort Consultation shows exactly what it takes to heat your home without the tank.
Two ways to go
Hybrid
