Save on Energy Bills in Hillsborough with a Ductless Mini-Split System
Mini-split systems are ideal for Hillsborough homes heated by ductless systems—hot water, electric heat or radiant panels. They’re also a good way to heat and cool homes without capacity for ductwork, additions, garages and more.
The system—an outdoor unit and a nearly silent, wall-mounted indoor unit—is often called a mini-split heat pump. Heat pump systems have been used in southern locations for decades to add comfort to homes.
However, mini-splits are more energy efficient because they are zoned systems. This means you can change the heating or cooling in one area.
In contrast to traditional electric heating systems, the EPA confirmed ENERGY STAR®-rated models can cut your heating costs by up to 50 percent. This is due to the fact that mini-splits transfer heat instead of making it.
A mini-split system could also decrease your cooling bill by 30 percent, compared to conventional air conditioning. The system is able to conserve energy because it uses compressors and fans to adjust cooling speeds.
Because there are no ducts on split systems, you won’t have the energy loss involved with ducted systems like central air or heating.
