Today we are going to talk about the benefits of ductless heat pumps. But first, let’s take a little time and learn about the background of this versatile heating and air system. The ductless heat pump, or DHP, isn’t a new zone heating solution. In fact ductless heat pump systems have been used in Asia and Europe since the the 1970′s. Though DHPs are not total strangers to America; DHPs have been used for industrial applications for over 30 years. In fact, many of the industrial installations are still in service to this day. That is a testament to the durability of ductless heat pumps. It is not until recently that DHPs finally entered Charlotte homes.

Please read on to see how your Charlotte household can benefit from ductless heat pumps.

Versatile and Convenient Heating and Cooling

DHP systems are great for new construction. A new commercial or residential construction can be designed to take full advantage of zone heating and cooling. Ideally, a few ductless heat pumps would be installed to maximize efficiency. DHP systems are definitely well suited for room additions. When a ductless heat pump is installed in an addition; there is no need to extend existing ductwork. The DHP is perfect for replacing or supplementing existing electric heaters, and reducing energy consumption.

High Efficiency Heating and Cooling

DHP systems are a zone heating and cooling solution. That means you can control just how much you would like to heat or cool certain areas of your home or business. This prevents over heating and over cooling, which makes you the master of your energy bill. Further, standard central air systems lose upwards of 30% efficiency through ductwork conduction and air leaks. Since ductless heat pumps push air directly into the desired area, to the desired degree; there is no such efficiency loss. Also DHP systems run continuously, which is actually a large boost in efficiency. Most of the cost attributed to standard heating and cooling systems is found in the on/off cycle. Ductless heat pumps use upwards of 50% less energy than forced air and electric resistance systems.

Durablility

Many DHP systems installed in the 1980′s are still functioning to this day. With the proper maintenance; your ductless heat pumps can expect similar longevity.
