A “split” system is the most common heating and cooling
central system used. Your split system air conditioner or heat
pump is the outdoor component of a total system. The indoor
component is a matched coil, which typically sits on top of the
furnace, or in warmer climates, an indoor air handler is used.
When you replace your outdoor system it is extremely important
to replace the indoor portion as well, in order to meet energy
efficiency performance and not void important warranties. Not
changing your indoor component is like buying a new car then
placing old, worn tires on it.
Choosing a heat pump as a comfort solution is typically driven by
the climate you live in and is relative to your comfort needs. A
heat pump works like an air conditioner in the summer, but is also
designed to provide economical heat in the winter and is best in
environments that do not drop below freezing. Your Westinghouse
contractor can recommend the right choice for you

that could save you money during the winter months.
