Save on Energy Bills in West Palm Beach with a Ductless Mini-Split System
Mini-split systems work well for West Palm Beach homes heated by ductless systems—hot water, electric heat or radiant panels. They’re also a good alternative to heat and cool homes without capacity for ductwork, additions, garages and more.
The system—an outdoor unit and a nearly noiseless, wall-mounted indoor unit—is frequently called 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 set the heating or cooling in one area.
When compared to conventional electric heating systems, the EPA determined ENERGY STAR®-rated models can cut your heating costs 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 decrease your cooling costs by 30 percent, as opposed to traditional air conditioning. The system is able to conserve energy because it uses compressors and fans to regulate cooling speeds.
Because there are no ducts on split systems, you won’t have the energy loss associated with ducted systems like central air or heating.
