Heat Your Home for Less with a Mini-Split Heat Pump
Heating your home uses more energy and costs more money than any other system in your home — usually almost 30% of your utility bill. Heating your living space can be your highest expense during the winter. Are you looking for a better way to stay warm? A mini-split heating system from Coastal Energy Services could be the right solution for your business or your home.
A ductless heat pump is the same as a mini split. Both are shorter ways of saying ductless, mini split-system air-conditioner. It’s also a little less confusing since even though they are called air conditioning systems, the units are also capable of efficiently heating your home or business. It’s called a mini “split” because unlike in traditional, ducted systems, the split system heat pump includes both indeed and outside components that function together.
Mini-split heat pump systems provide heat by transferring it from the outside air. Though this basic technology has been around for decades, increased demand for energy efficient environmental systems has brought this method back into the spotlight. Compared to furnaces, boilers and electric resistance heating, heat pump systems use less energy to heat your home and lose less energy during the process.
The amount of space that a system can heat depends on the efficiency of the system, the size of the space and other factors including weatherproofing and insulation. For larger spaces, Coastal Energy Services can design a system of zone using multiple indoor units.
Today’s heat pump can reduce your electricity use for heating by approximately 50% compared to electric resistance heating such as furnaces and baseboard heaters.
