A ductless heat pump, also known as a mini-split heat pump, is an efficient and convenient way for homeowners who dont have ductwork to heat and cool their homes. It combines the virtues of a ductless mini-split system with the benefits of a heat pump. A ductless heat pump system works by using heat exchanger coils to move warm air from one location to another. During winter, for example, the heat pump draws warm air from outside your home to increase temperatures inside; during the summer, the heat pump reverses the process, shipping out warm air from your home. Ductless mini-split systems are easier to install than some other types of space conditioning systems, and they have no ducts, so they avoid the energy losses associated with the ductwork of central forced air systems. They are a practical solution to a home’s heating and cooling needs, without the need for an extended teardown or installation process. Some benefits of ductless heat pump systems include:
-
Energy efficiency: Ductless heat pumps are more energy efficient than other types of heating and cooling systems, which can save homeowners money on their energy bills.
-
Easy installation: Ductless mini-split systems are easier to install than some other types of space conditioning systems, and they dont require ductwork.
-
Zone heating and cooling: A single condenser can operate up to four air handlers, creating an efficient zone heating and cooling system in your home.
-
Flexibility: Ductless mini-split systems can be installed in a variety of spaces, including room additions where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not feasible.
