What is Ductless Heating and Why Do You Need It?
Ductless heating uses multiple mini-heat pumps to keep your house warm. As a result, no ductwork is required. They are highly efficient and allow different temperatures to be set for different rooms. Here are some of the most important facts we feel you should know about them:
What are the Advantages of Ductless Heating?
The use of ducts can reduce a system's energy efficiency by 30%. Furthermore, an Energy Star ductless heat system can be as much as 60% more energy efficient than conventional electric heaters.
The system's lack of ductwork makes it much easier to install. The heaters can be attached to the interior side of your home's walls. Additionally, contaminants can build up in ductwork, introducing harmful particulate matter into your home's air.
Who Benefits the Most from Ductless Heating?
If you want to reduce energy bills, consider ductless heat, especially if you have an older house. Also, if there is no ductwork already installed, you will have to pay a significant amount of money to get a conventional heating system set up. Thus, cutting out the need to install ductwork can lead to substantial savings. Without any ductwork, ductless systems can be the easiest way to add heating to your home.
How Does Ductless Heating Work?
Ductless heating uses multiple head units containing an interior and an exterior component. The exterior component extracts heat from the air, which works even if it is cold outside. The heated air is then brought to the interior component and blown into the house with a fan.
How Much Does it Cost?
It typically costs $3,000-$8,000 for two zones and $7,000-$18,000 for three or more zones. However, going ductless reduces the energy your heating system uses by 30%- 40%, which can lead to savings of $500 per year or more. Furthermore, we offer financing with low interest rates to help with the initial expense.
How Do You Properly Maintain a Ductless Heating System?
Ductless heat systems are reasonably easy to maintain. Always wipe the cover while cleaning your home, and regularly change your filters. However, calling us to get your system serviced twice a year will be essential. This will detect some of the most common issues that can affect these systems, such as these:
- Excessive noise
- Uneven distribution of heat
- A malfunctioning remote control
- Water leaks
- Inefficient heating
Getting your ductless heat system serviced can address all of these issues. They are also relatively easy to repair.
The Overall Benefits of Ductless Heat Systems
Reduced energy usage can help you save a significant amount of money on heating costs and reduce your environmental footprint considerably. Overall, these systems' ability to save energy and improve air quality makes them an excellent solution for all types of homeowners.
