Why Choose Ductless Heat Pumps?
Ductless heat pumps are ideal for a variety of spaces, including:
- Bedrooms
- Home offices
- Sunrooms
- Finished basements
- Attics
- Garages
These versatile systems provide year-round comfort by efficiently transferring heat between your indoor and outdoor spaces. In cooling mode, they extract heat from your home and expel it outside.
In heating mode, the process reverses, drawing heat from the outdoor air and bringing it indoors. Advanced cold climate heat pump technology ensures efficient heating performance even in freezing temperatures as low as 5° Fahrenheit.
Types of Ductless Mini Split Systems
There are three main types of ductless mini split systems to consider, each designed to cool and heat specific areas of your property:
- Single-Zone Ductless Mini Splits: These systems are ideal for a single room, such as a bedroom, addition, or garage. They consist of one indoor air handler unit and one outdoor condenser unit.
- Dual-Zone Ductless Mini Splits: Designed for two separate zones, these systems feature two indoor air handlers powered by a single outdoor condenser unit.
- Multi-Zone Ductless Mini Splits: Capable of heating and cooling your entire home, these systems connect one outdoor unit to up to eight indoor units.
Choosing the Right Size Ductless Heat Pump System
Our experienced technicians will help you select the most suitable ductless heat pump system for your needs. We consider several factors to ensure optimal performance and efficient operation, including:
- Square footage of the space
- Local climate
- Insulation levels
- Window specifications
- Heat-generating appliances and occupants
By carefully evaluating these variables, we can accurately calculate the required British Thermal Unit (BTU) output for your space and prevent the common issue of oversized HVAC equipment, which can lead to short cycling and premature system wear.
Ductless Heat Pump Installation Process
Our meticulous installation process and attention to detail ensure you get the most value from your ductless heat pump:
Indoor Air Handler Unit Installation
- We select the best location on an exterior wall to mount the indoor air handler unit. This location should be free of obstructions, such as shelves or light fixtures, and at least six feet from the floor. Direct sunlight and proximity to heat sources should also be avoided to optimize temperature control and system efficiency.
- We create a pathway through the chosen wall to accommodate the refrigerant lines connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Before proceeding, we meticulously check the interior of the wall for potential obstructions, such as wires, pipes, or ducts.
- We mount the bracket directly onto the wall studs using a level to ensure proper alignment. Improper leveling can hinder proper drainage.
- The air handler unit is carefully lifted onto the mounting bracket, with the refrigerant lines and cables securely fed through the sleeve created in the wall.
- We securely fasten the air handler unit to the wall-mounted bracket.
Outdoor Unit Installation
- We collaborate with you to determine the most suitable location for the outdoor unit, ensuring proper pad installation for secure placement.
- Once the condenser unit is securely mounted, we meticulously connect the pipes, controls, and drain tubing from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit.
- Electrical wires and tubing are fastened and covered along the exterior wall for additional protection.
