Ductless mini-split heat pumps are air-source heat pumps that do not require ductwork to distribute conditioned air throughout a home or building. DMHPs consist of an outdoor compressor or condenser unit and one or more indoor air handling units, making them a popular heating and cooling solution in homes and buildings where ductwork is not possible or practical.
Continue reading to learn more about the reasons to get ductless mini-split heat pumps.
1) Efficient Performance
DMHPs are a very efficient heating and cooling solution as they use less energy than conventional HVAC systems, which means they are more cost-effective to operate. Plus, they are energy-efficient and can be used in both new construction and existing homes and buildings.
2) Little to No Issues
Because ductless mini-splits have no ductwork, there are few to no issues with air leaks, which can lead to significant energy loss in a home. Additionally, DMHPs do not require filters, so there is no need to worry about changing them regularly.
3) Automatic Zoning
DMHPs come with an automatic zoning feature, which allows you to set different temperatures for various areas of your home. This is especially beneficial for large homes with multiple floors, as you can keep the temperature comfortable without wasting energy.
4) Quiet Units
DMHPs are extremely quiet and have low indoor noise level decibels, which can be softer than a whisper. Homeowners can also set the indoor and outdoor units to run at different speeds, which allows them to control the volume of the indoor unit.
5) Simplicity in Shifting Your HVAC System
When you’re moving to a new home, it can be a hassle to move your HVAC system. Luckily, DMHPs can be easily installed and are easier to maintain than conventional HVAC systems. With DMHPs, move the outdoor unit to another location if you ever change your home’s layout or design.
6) The Options of Ductless or Ducted Installation
DMHPs can be installed in a ducted system or a ductless system. Ductless systems are less expensive to install than ducted systems, as well as are easier to maintain. Ducted systems are more costly to install and require more maintenance.
7) Avoid the Downsides of a Window Unit
There are many potential downsides to using a window air conditioner unit versus DHMPs:
- Block Light. If you have a window that gets a lot of sunlight during the day, you may find that a window air conditioner significantly reduces the light that comes into the room. This can make the space feel darker and more cramped.
- Risk Security. If you have a full air conditioner that is not properly secured, it could be easy for someone to break into your home through the window. Make sure to book your air conditioner properly to avoid this potential security risk.
- Take Up Too Much Space. Window air conditioners can also take up a lot of space, both inside and outside of your home. If you have a small window, you may find that a window air conditioner takes up most of the available space.
- Have Questionable Appearance. Finally, window air conditioners can sometimes have a questionable appearance. If you have a nice-looking home, you may not want to mar the building with an air conditioner.
Conclusion
There are many great reasons to get a ductless mini-split heat pump for your home. They are energy efficient, can save you cash on energy bills, and can improve the air quality in your house.
