When traditional in-floor heating left their Whidbey Island home chilly and uncomfortable, one Whidbey homeowner began searching for a better way to heat their space. Facing unique challenges with no existing ductwork and limited installation options, they discovered a solution that would not only address their immediate needs but also provide lasting comfort and efficiency.
Frustrated by persistent discomfort in their home caused by an inadequate in-floor heating system and the absence of ductwork, a Whidbey homeowner needed a solution for a large, underheated space. The unique layout and limited wall space demanded an innovative approach. Already familiar with Island Ductless Heat Pumps as a trusted local company, they turned to IDHP for a reliable, efficient, and discreet heating solution.
"I was surprised by how much area the ceiling unit covers. It heats and cools our entire main floor effortlessly. I’m very pleased with its performance."

The main challenge of this project was identifying a location for the heat pump that could deliver consistent comfort throughout the home without available wall space for standard units. This home required a solution that would not only address the shortcomings of their previous system but also integrate seamlessly into their living space, all while minimizing disruption and preserving the home’s aesthetics.
Island Ductless assessed the home’s layout and recommended a ductless mini-split ceiling cassette, which provided efficient heating and cooling without the need for ductwork or wall installation. Their team evaluated the best placement to maximize coverage and ensure the unit blended discreetly with the ceiling, resulting in a comfortable living environment and the added benefit of air conditioning.
The new ceiling-mounted ductless mini-split solved the home’s heating issues, delivering reliable comfort across the main living area. In addition to consistent warmth, the customer gained access to air conditioning for the first time, which proved especially valuable during warmer months and exceeded their initial expectations. They were so pleased with the results that they later installed a second ductless heat pump system in their garage-turned-gym, ensuring efficient heating and cooling throughout their home.
"We initially were searching for a heating solution, but the air conditioning feature has turned out to be an unexpected and valuable benefit."
