Ductless & Ducted Heat pumps
Mini Split Ductless Heat Pumps
A ductless heat pump, also known as a mini-split heat pump, is a heating and cooling system that doesn’t require ductwork. It’s made up of an outdoor unit that extracts heat from the air or ground and an indoor unit that delivers the heat to your home.
Ductless heat pumps are a good option for:
Retrofitting: They can replace non-ducted heating systems like baseboard heating, hydronic heat, and space heaters.
Room additions: They’re a good choice when it’s not possible to extend or install ductwork.
Easy Installation: Ductless heat pumps are straightforward to install and do not require extensive ductwork, making them a convenient and cost-effective option for both new construction and existing homes.
Energy efficiency: They’re more energy efficient than ducted systems because they don’t experience heat loss from ductwork
Ducted Heat Pump
A Ducted Heat Pump is a heating and cooling system that uses electricity to move heat throughout a home
How it works:
A ducted heat pump uses a refrigerant to move heat from the outside in during the winter and from the inside out during the summer. The heat pump compresses and expands the refrigerant to transfer heat.
Benefits:
Ducted heat pumps are more efficient than furnaces, can improve air quality, and are quiet and reliable. They can also increase a home’s energy efficiency by 300–400%.
Installation:
Ducted heat pumps are often installed in homes that already have ductwork, as the ducts can be used to distribute conditioned air. The air handling unit is usually located in a basement or utility room.
Comparison to split systems:
Split systems are better for heating or cooling individual rooms, while ducted systems are better for heating or cooling an entire home. Split systems are also usually cheaper than ducted systems.
