The new standard for home heating
The shift toward cleaner energy is, at its core, a heating and cooling shift. More than half of the energy used in the average American home goes into keeping indoor spaces comfortable, and a large share of that still comes from burning fossil fuels. Modern heat pumps offer a practical way to change that — not just for utilities and industrial sites, but for single-family homes.
At Backyard Provider, we supply high-performance residential heat pump systems built to deliver year-round comfort, lower operating costs, and a meaningfully smaller carbon footprint.
Why homeowners are switching
Electrifying home comfort is no longer a future conversation — it's happening now. In this short feature, we walk through how a modern inverter-driven heat pump handles both heating and cooling from a single system, and why that matters for efficiency, indoor air quality, and long-term savings
Good to know
Decarbonize your home with a modern heat pump
Heat pumps are central to the move toward cleaner home energy — for both heating and cooling. By replacing fossil-fuel appliances, they unlock the potential of ambient sources of heat already around your home: outdoor air, the ground beneath it, and even waste heat from attached garages or utility rooms. Paired with electricity, you get a fully electric, low-emission comfort system.
When you choose a residential heat pump from Backyard Provider, you get access to the same core technology that powers large-scale commercial installations — scaled and refined for the needs of a single household. A heat pump moves heat from a low-temperature source (like outdoor air), amplifies it, and delivers it where you need it. The same cycle, reversed, provides cooling in summer. Powered by your home's electrical service, the result is carbon-neutral-ready heating and cooling.
Backyard Provider heat pump systems
Our residential heat pump solutions are engineered for quieter operation, cleaner refrigerants, and smarter modulation. Running on electricity, they move toward genuinely low emissions at the point of use. In every system, we focus on eco-friendly refrigerants like R454B, tight airflow control, and variable-speed compressors.
The systems we carry suit a wide range of homes — from tight townhouses to larger single-family layouts. Capacities typically range from around 18,000 BTU up to roughly 60,000 BTU per outdoor unit, with multi-position indoor air handlers that install upflow, downflow, horizontal left, or horizontal right. Higher outputs are achievable when paired with zoning equipment or multiple systems running in parallel.
Residential heat pumps at a glance
Year-round comfort
A single system handles both heating in winter and cooling in summer. Instead of running a separate furnace and AC, you maintain a consistent indoor climate from one piece of equipment — with fewer moving parts and one service technician to call.
Inverter-driven compressors modulate output in small steps, so rooms stay closer to your setpoint without the hot-and-cold swings older systems tend to produce.
Compressor expertise
The heart of a heat pump is the compressor. Leading manufacturers have spent decades refining compressor design for residential use, tuning each one to the specific demands of household heating and cooling loads, indoor air quality requirements, and tight equipment closets.
Our high-efficiency residential heat pumps bring those same engineering principles into your home, with cleaner refrigerants and quieter operation than earlier generations. The result is steady performance without the noise and cycling of legacy condensers.
What you'll need
Heat pumps require two things: a heat source and electricity. The outdoor unit pulls thermal energy from the surrounding air — even in cold weather — and transfers it indoors. That means no gas line, no oil tank, and no combustion inside your home.
The entire process is cleaner and safer when paired with clean electricity. Where available, geothermal loops can improve performance further. The system is scalable, flexible, and tailor-made for the realities of residential construction.
Applications
Modularity and multi-position installation make these heat pumps suitable for many types of homes:
- Single-family homes — including new builds, retrofits, and additions where a combined heating/cooling solution is preferred over a furnace-plus-AC pairing.
- Townhouses and condos — where tight mechanical spaces benefit from a compact, multi-position air handler and a quieter outdoor unit.
- Finished basements and bonus rooms — spaces that are often hard to condition with existing ductwork can be served cleanly by a properly sized heat pump.
- Homeowners moving off fossil fuels — helping you reduce on-site emissions while keeping indoor comfort consistent through every season.
Featured: Mitsubishi 24,000 BTU Multi-Position Heat Pump System
The Mitsubishi PVA-AA24NL multi-position air handler paired with the PUZ-AH24NL outdoor heat pump gives a typical 2-ton home one of the cleanest, most efficient comfort setups available today. It operates on R454B — a next-generation refrigerant with a significantly lower global warming potential than the R-410A it replaces.
With a 19.2 SEER2 efficiency rating, multi-position installation flexibility, and the heating performance Mitsubishi is known for, this pairing is a strong anchor for any homeowner aiming to replace an aging furnace-and-AC setup with a single, electrified system.
