Save on Energy Bills in the Wasatch Front region with a Ductless Mini-Split System
Mini-split systems work well for the Wasatch Front region homes heated by ductless systems—hot water, electric heat or radiant panels. They’re also a good alternative to heat and cool homes without room for ductwork, additions, garages and more.
The system—an outdoor unit and a nearly silent, wall-mounted indoor unit—is regularly known as a mini-split heat pump. Heat pump systems have been used in southern areas for decades to heat and cool homes.
However, mini-splits are more energy efficient because they are zoned systems. This means you can set the heating or cooling in one area.
When compared to traditional electric heating systems, the EPA determined ENERGY STAR®-rated models can lower your heating costs by up to 50 percent. This is due to the fact that mini-splits transfer heat instead of generating it.
A mini-split system could also reduce your cooling bill by 30 percent, compared to traditional 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 accompanied with ducted systems like central air or heating.
