Cut your electrical heating expense by 60%, depending upon your environment, and cool for 30% less with an ENERGY STAR accredited ductless heating & cooling system. Ductless heatpump that have actually earned the ENERGY STAR Many Effective classification are the best of the best-- they'll save you more energy than basic models. Ductless heatpump are simple to install, preventing large ductwork in your house or structure. They can likewise have a big effect on your comfort while helping you conserve cash.
Secret Functions
- Cut your heating expenses in half! Because heat pumps move heat instead of creating heat, ENERGY STAR licensed ductless mini-split heatpump utilize 60% less energy than basic homes with traditional electrical resistance-based heating systems
- Cut cooling costs by 30% compared to standard room air conditioning unit-- ENERGY STAR certified ductless mini-split heat pumps used innovative innovation compressors and fans that can adjust speeds to conserve energy
- Various environments in each space-- each indoor unit can provide customized cooling and heating-- adjustable through wall consoles, push-button controls, and smart device apps
- No bulky ductwork! Inside systems attached to your wall connect to an outside unit utilizing small refrigerant lines
Helpful Tips
Consider upgrading to ductless mini-split heat pumps in these situations:
- In houses with costly electrical heat and cooling (e.g. baseboard; electrical glowing, heater).
- Older houses without any ductwork.
- Residences with pricey main heating due to high fuel costs.
- You have rooms that are not regularly inhabited.
- Areas beside unconditioned spaces where ductwork would be exposed (e.g. above a garage).
- Additions or sheds where extending ductwork is not feasible (e.g. shed, barn, garage).
Ductless Heating & Cooling Installation.
These wall-mounted heating and cooling systems are air-source heatpump, which draw heat from the outdoors air during winter and push heat outside during the summer cooling season.
An indoor system links to an outdoor system utilizing small refrigerant lines. Just a three-inch hole in an outdoor wall is needed for setup. As much as 8 indoor systems can be attached to one outdoor system.
What's In a Label?
Air-source heat pumps in Canada can have two labels:.
The ENERGY STAR symbol means the design is highly energy effective.
The voluntary EnerGuide label shows the model" s Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) or cooling effectiveness and how it compares to similar designs.
Ductless Heating and Cooling: What's Coming?
Some individuals question whether heat pumps operate in chillier climates. As temperature levels drop, the heatpump has to work more difficult and more difficult to extract heat from air outside. Some heatpump now use advanced compressors and refrigerants that permit enhanced low-temperature efficiency. If this is an issue, search for ENERGY STAR models with a Heating Seasonal Efficiency Element (HSPF) of over 12.0 BTU/Wh4.
The ENERGY STAR Guarantee.
Ductless Heating & Cooling Laws Set the Energy Effectiveness Minimum.
Air-source, ground-source and water-source heat pumps go through Canada's Energy Efficiency Regulations, which set a minimum efficiency standard for their energy effectiveness.
All ENERGY STAR certified items are checked to satisfy stringent effectiveness specs and are licensed by an independent third party. They perform the like or much better than standard items without jeopardizing efficiency in any way.
