What is a Ductless Heat Pump?
Like central systems, ductless heat pumps have two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units.
Are Ductless Heat Pumps Worth It?
Yes! We’ve been performing more commercial ductless heat pump installations more than ever because of the many benefits they provide including:
- Versatility: Ductless heat pumps allow for individualized temperature control by creating zones. Many models can have as many as four indoor air handling units (for four zones or rooms) connected to one outdoor unit. The number depends on how much heating or cooling is required for the building or each zone (which in turn is affected by how well the building is insulated). Each of the zones will have its own thermostat, so you only need to condition that space when it is occupied, saving energy and money.
- Easy installation: The hook-up between the outdoor and indoor units generally requires only a three-inch (~8 centimeter [cm]) hole through a wall for the conduit. Also, most manufacturers of this type of system can provide a variety of lengths of connecting conduits. You can place the outdoor unit as far away as 50 feet (~15 meters [m]) from the indoor evaporator. This makes it possible to cool rooms on the front side of a building while the compressor resides in a less conspicuous area on the outside of the building.
- Energy savings: Ductless heat pump systems allow you to control the temperature of each room, helping reduce your energy consumption.
- Improved air quality: Air ducts can be a breeding ground for allergens and contaminants, something you don’t have to worry about with a ductless system.
