I may be way off here. But I believe a mini split and heat pump are the same thing? At least where I live the term is interchangeable.

    Not at all. A mini split is a kind of heat pump, but refers to a specific kind of installation.

    Most of these are "air source" heat pumps, but there are also ground source or geothermal pumps that exchange heat using a loop of liquid buried in the ground.

    We're installing a "whole house" air source heat pump to replace our 40yo inefficient gas furnaces and add cooling. This will utilize our existing duct work.
