Save on Energy Bills in Grand Island with a Ductless Mini-Split System
Mini-split systems are great for Grand Island homes heated by ductless systems—hot water, electric heat or radiant panels. They’re also a good way to heat and cool homes without space for ductwork, additions, garages and more.
The system—an outdoor unit and a nearly noiseless, wall-mounted indoor unit—is often referred to as a mini-split heat pump. Heat pump systems have been used in southern locations for decades to condition homes.
However, mini-splits are more energy efficient because they are zoned systems. This means you can change the heating or cooling in individual areas.
In contrast to traditional electric heating systems, the EPA found ENERGY STAR®-rated models can decrease your heating costs by up to 50 percent. This is due to the fact that mini-splits transfer heat instead of creating it.
A mini-split system could also reduce your cooling expenses by 30 percent, compared to conventional air conditioning. The system is able to conserve energy because it uses compressors and fans to calibrate 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.
