Save on Energy Bills in Kingston with a Ductless Mini-Split System
Mini-split systems work well for Kingston homes heated by ductless systems—hot water, electric heat or radiant panels. They’re also a good way 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 referred to as a mini-split heat pump. Heat pump systems have been used in southern locations for decades to add comfort to homes.
However, mini-splits are more energy efficient because they are zoned systems. This means you can adjust 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 bills by up to 50 percent. This is due to the fact that mini-splits transfer heat instead of making it.
A mini-split system could also reduce your cooling bill by 30 percent, compared to regular 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.
