Mini-split systems work well for Concord homes heated by ductless systems—hot water, electric heat or radiant panels. They’re also a good approach to heat and cool homes without space for ductwork, additions, garages and more.
The system—an outdoor unit and a nearly noiseless, wall-mounted indoor unit—is frequently referred to as a mini-split heat pump. Heat pump systems have been used in southern areas for decades to heat and cool homes.
However, mini-splits are more energy efficient because they are zoned systems. This means you can adjust the heating or cooling in single areas.
In comparison with conventional electric heating systems, the EPA confirmed ENERGY STAR®-rated models can cut your heating expenses by up to 50 percent. This is due to the fact that mini-splits transfer heat instead of creating it.
A mini-split system could also lower your cooling bill by 30 percent, in contrast to traditional air conditioning. The system is able to save on energy because it uses compressors and fans to calibrate cooling speeds.
Because there are no ducts on split systems, you won’t have the energy loss associated with ducted systems like central air or heating.
