New Haven Register (Sunday) (New Haven, CT)
Are People in Maine and Massachusetts really smarter than people in Connecticut?
They certainly are, when it comes to their knowledge of high efficiency Ductless Heat Pumps! They know exactly what a Ductless Heat Pump is, how they can benefit from the energy savings, and how to achieve total home comfort.
So… how do they know so much?
Maine and Massachusetts were the northeast states chosen to be the poster child for the high efficiency federal programs. Their utility companies were given huge incentives to educate each and every homeowner about the new Heat Pump energy saving technology. That is why Maine and Massachusetts homes are heated and cooled by more Ductless Heat Pumps than any other state in the USA. Connecticut Utilities are trying to get the word out and they are giving great incentives, but that’s not good enough. I guess… If I want it done right, I have to do it myself.
My job is to educate Connecticut homeowners about the Ductless Heat Pump phenomenon.
What is a Heat Pump?
A Heat Pump provides both Air Conditioning and Heating in one system. How???... It is really hard to explain the thermodynamics of it all. It’s all in the refrigerant (Freon) flow from the compressor, through all the tubing, through the coils, blah, blah, blah… see what I mean… Hard to explain!
Come visit our CT Home Comfort Showroom where you can see, touch, feel and discover all the latest technology in ductless heat pumps and mini split systems.
How Much Does It Cost To Heat & Cool Your Home With A Ductless Heat Pump System?
A Ductless Heat Pump uses “Inverter Technology” to keep your home at a constant, comfortable temperature while saving you the most amount of money possible on your energy bill.
Ductless Heat Pumps keep the inside of your home at a comfortable temperature, whether the outdoor temperature is greater than 100 degrees or even down to -13 degrees.
The cost to run a Ductless Heat pump is about 75% less than straight electric heat, 40% less than Oil or Propane heat, and 25% less than Natural gas heat. You can still save hundreds of dollars on your annual energy bills when using Ductless in conjunction with any other source of heat.
It does work by electricity BUT… The electricity is used only to run a very high efficient compressor, drawing very little energy. The refrigerant in the system does the rest of the work. Efficiency Ratings are measured in coefficient of performance (COP). A Ductless Heat Pump has an average of 3.0 COP, meaning…300% efficient! No other heating source even comes close. Natural Gas, Oil & LP all have less than a 99% efficiency rating.
Rebates & Incentives
Many high efficiency Ductless Heat Pumps meet the requirements for the Energize Connecticut rebates. Single Zone rebate…$300 & Multi Zone rebate…$500
If you are having 2 single zone systems installed in your home, you will receive a $600 rebate ($300 x 2) and 2 Multi Zone systems will get you a $1,000 rebate ($500 x 2), only up to two systems per home. There is an additional rebate of $700, if you heat your home with only electric heat and you had a home energy assessment done (HES).
Let the Fights Begin!
Ductless Heat Pump
Ductless Heat Pump in the green corner, weighing in at *$1.60, pound for pound against any other fuel. Using its powerful Inverter Technology, it has remained undefeated in the HVAC industry. Light on its feet and quiet as a whisper, you can barely hear it working. The Ductless Heat Pump is a really “Cool” cat as well.
*Compared to a gallon of oil
vs Electric Heat
Electric Heat has been defeated over and over again. In the 1960’s, electric heat was at its prime. It was cheap and created a lot of heat. As time went on, the price to pay was very steep and nobody wanted it anymore because they were losing way too much money on that bet .
vs Oil Heating
Oil in the black sooty corner, weighing in at over $2.50 a gallon. Stats: Price fluctuations, misfiring and causing puff backs, unexpected breakdowns, gives off a bad smell and running out of oil at the worst time.
vs Propane
Propane (Nickname “LP”) is like the cousin of oil. It hangs out in the same corner as oil, watching every move it makes. If oil goes up, propane does the same. If oil ducks low, well there you go. Propane always carries that big tank with it and it’s always getting in the way. You never know when it will run out of gas and leave you hanging.
vs Natural Gas
All “Fracking” aside. Natural gas, like the energizer bunny, keeps on going. Always ready and never runs out of gas. It has a very clean record and doesn’t play dirty. Natural Gas weighs in at a bit more than Ductless Heat Pumps, but that Ductless Heat Pump still packs a punch. There are several brands of indoor units (Wall Hung Air Handlers) to choose from to match the décor of your room(s). There are many ways to design the perfect Ductless Heat Pump system for your home.
There are also indoor units that can be hidden away in your attic or basement.
