Ductless heat pump facts
A ductless heat pump is a highly energy-efficient heating and cooling system that runs without the energy losses associated with the ductwork of a central forced air system. As it doesn't require ducts to carry conditioned air, it is a preferred system for additions to your home, newer homes that only require a small space conditioning system or areas of your home that you wish to condition in zones.
Other benefits include:
- Ductless heat pumps use between 25 and 50 percent less energy to heat your home.
- An ultra-quiet fan evenly circulates air, eliminating hot and cold spots.
- Installation in your home is inexpensive, simple and quick, which makes for little or no disruption.
- Ductless systems come standard with air conditioning, so you can get rid of those window units.
