Multi Zone Heat Pump Systems

Multi zone heat pump systems allow you to heat and cool multiple rooms using one outdoor unit connected to several indoor units. Each room gets its own temperature control, so you can keep bedrooms cooler while maintaining different temperatures in living areas. These systems work without ductwork, making them suitable for homes where adding ducts isn't an option.

Daikin, DiamondAir, and LG Multi Zone Systems

BudgetHeating.com offers multi zone heat pumps from Daikin, DiamondAir, and LG in 2, 3, 4, and 5 zone options. These systems handle both heating and cooling through heat pump technology, with capacities between 18,000 and 55,000 BTUs. You'll find systems using R-32 or R-410A refrigerant, and SEER2 efficiency ratings from 17 up to 23.5 depending on the model.

How Multi Zone Heat Pumps Work

A multi zone heat pump reverses its operation between seasons. For cooling, it pulls heat out of your rooms and moves it outside. For heating, it extracts warmth from outdoor air (even in cold weather) and brings it inside. Since each indoor unit connects to the same outdoor condenser, you only need one external component serving your entire setup.

Choosing Your Zone Count

Zone count determines how many rooms can be heated or cooled independently. A 2-zone heat pump can handle two separate areas, while 3-zone, 4-zone, and 5-zone systems expand coverage to more rooms. Think about where you need temperature control — for example, you might keep your bedroom, home office, and living room on separate zones with different settings.

Sizing and Efficiency

System capacity ranges from 18,000 to 55,000 BTUs across our inventory. The right size depends on your combined space square footage, insulation levels, and how many zones you're conditioning. SEER2 ratings indicate efficiency - higher numbers mean lower energy costs. Our systems range from 17 SEER2 to 23.5 SEER2.

Installation and Warranty

Professional installation by a licensed HVAC technician is recommended for multi zone heat pump systems. Installation involves refrigerant line connections, electrical work, and proper placement of indoor units.

All equipment comes with a manufacturer's parts warranty covering functional components such as compressors, coils, motors, and control boards. Warranties do not cover labor costs, refrigerant, or installation expenses. Most states and manufacturers require equipment registration after installation by a licensed contractor to maintain warranty coverage. Always read the manufacturer's warranty terms for specific coverage details.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a multi zone heat pump?

    A multi zone heat pump lets one outdoor unit control several indoor units, so you can heat or cool different rooms separately. Each room has its own thermostat for temperature control. These systems don’t need ductwork, which makes them great for older homes or spaces without vents.

  • How is a heat pump different from an air conditioner?

    They look similar, but a heat pump can both heat and cool your home. It runs like an air conditioner in summer, then reverses in winter to pull warmth from outside air. A regular air conditioner only cools and needs another heat source like a furnace or electric heat strip.

  • How many rooms can one system handle?

    Most setups can run 2 to 5 indoor units from one outdoor unit. Each “zone” means one indoor unit and one thermostat. If you only need to cover a couple rooms, a 2-zone is enough. For a whole house, you might need 4 or 5 zones.

  • Which multi zone heat pump brands do you carry?

    We stock trusted brands like Daikin, DiamondAir, and LG. Each one offers reliable heating and cooling with different zone options and efficiency ratings. If you’re unsure which fits your setup best, contact our team and we’ll help you compare models.

  • Do these systems need ducts?

    No ducts at all. The indoor units mount on walls or ceilings and connect to the outdoor unit with refrigerant lines. That’s why they’re often called ductless systems.

  • Can I install one myself?

    No. You’ll need a licensed HVAC technician. Federal law requires certification to handle refrigerant, and most manufacturers won’t honor the warranty if you install it yourself.

  • What does the warranty include?

    All equipment comes with a manufacturer parts warranty that covers things like compressors, coils, and motors. It does not cover labor, refrigerant, or installation. To keep the warranty valid, register the product after a licensed contractor installs it.

  • How do I pick the right size?

    The correct size depends on how much space you’re heating or cooling, your insulation, and number of zones. Our systems range from 18,000 to 55,000 BTUs. If you’re not sure, give us a call and we’ll help you match the right system for your setup.

  • Do you ship everywhere?

    Yes. We ship to all 50 states and Canada. Orders usually leave the warehouse in 2–3 business days and take 3–10 business days to arrive depending on where you live.

  • Are multi zone systems energy efficient?

    Yes, that’s their main benefit. They use inverter compressors that adjust power automatically, which saves energy compared to standard systems. Models with higher SEER2 ratings use less electricity and cost less to run.
