5 Key Factors Account for the High Efficiency of a Ductless Heat Pump System:
1) A Ductless Heat Pump uses 60% less electricity than a home heated with straight electric heat and is even more efficient than most oil, gas or propane heating systems ( up to 30% more efficient)
2) Ductless systems allow the user to control each room’s temperature independently, eliminating the costly over- heating and cooling, which is common to central air systems. Why pay to heat or cool rooms that are not currently occupied?
3) While central air systems lose as much as 30% efficiency through air leaks in the ductwork, ductless systems distribute air directly to each zone, resulting in greater efficiency.
4) A ductless heat pump use very little electricity to power a small compressor. Ductless Heat Pumps are highly efficient at extreme cold or hot outdoor temperatures. Hundreds of our customers call us to say how much money they saved by using their ductless heat pumps, compared to their old heating and/ or cooling system. A ductless heat pump runs like a car on cruise control. It lets off on the energy usage when getting closer to the desired temperature and it ramps up when it needs to, always monitoring the indoor and outdoor temperatures, so that it uses as little energy as possible. Ductless Heat Pumps call their cruise control “Inverter Technology” which results in substantial energy and utility savings!
5) Mitsubishi ductless Heat Pump systems have ultra- high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios ( SEER) between 16 and 30.5, and a Heating Seasonal Performance Factors ( HSPF) between 8.5 and 13.5. The higher the number, the higher the efficiency.
