How a ductless system works and why it works better!

Ductless systems have 3 main parts

1. An indoor unit
2. An Outdoor unit that sits on the ground
3. A Remote that controls the unit

The indoor and outdoor ductless units are connected by a small bundle of cables including a refrigerant line. These cables only require a 3 inch hold in the wall for installation.

How a heat pump works

A heat pump transfers heat using refrigerant expansion and compression within a cycle…What does that mean?

It takes cold air and makes it warm, and takes warm air and makes it cold. The same system provides both heating and air conditioning.

While traditional heat pumps require a backup heating system when it’s 35 degrees or less, the ductless will still be creating comfortable heat at -15 F, that’s 15 below zero. That’s why ductless heat pumps are so popular in cold climates such as northern Europe.

More efficient

Here’s how a ductless system compares with other heating systems. It uses less energy and provides more heat for your energy dollar – now that’s technology at work!

More comfortable

Ductless systems have an ultra quiet fan that circulates air evenly throughout living areas eliminating hot and cold spots.

You can use 100% ductless heat, or use a ductless heat pump in one area to supplement existing heating or cooling and increase your comfort. Perfect for older homes with limited ducting or additions.
