Offering consistent comfort, quiet operation, precise-temperature heating and cooling, and — compared to their single- and dual-stage cousins — increased energy efficiency, inverter heat pumps are ...

Most heat pumps also use inverter technology, which lets the compressor run at more nuanced and variable speeds, so you’re using only the exact amount of energy necessary to maintain comfort.

But not all heat pumps are the same. Conventional HVAC systems have an on/off switch with a fixed speed that starts and stops the heating and cooling. Daikin’s all-electric, adaptive ...
