So, exactly what is an electric heat pump?
We could offer you a more technical description, but let’s stick to a straightforward version.
Simply stated, a heat pump is an all-in-one heating and cooling device that’s designed to keep a home comfortable all year round.
Heat pumps are essentially two-way air conditioners. In the summer, they work like any other AC unit, removing heat from the air inside and pushing cool air back into the room. In the cooler months, they do the opposite, drawing heat energy from the air outside and moving it into your home to warm things up. The process is especially efficient, typically using up a quarter of the energy compared to other home heating and cooling sources.
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, more than 90 percent of American homes could slash their utility bills with a heat pump, putting the median yearly savings in the range of $300 to $650, contingent on efficiency and the amount of weatherization.
Okay, can a heat pump cool and heat an existing home that has ductwork? Absolutely! A ducted heat pump system has an outdoor unit that replaces the conventional outside air conditioner and is linked to the indoor ductwork by way of an air handler.
NO ducts? No worry!
But what if my home doesn’t have existing ductwork? That’s where a ductless heat pump system is worthwhile.
Homes without ductwork are excellent candidates for ductless systems, especially older homes that were not initially built with ductwork. Putting in ductwork in these homes can be costly and invasive, making ductless systems a more workable option.
That’s why a ductless heat pump, also called a mini-split heat pump, is an efficient and suitable choice for homeowners who don’t have ductwork to heat and cool their home. Different from central air conditioning systems, which supply air through an arrangement of ducts and vents, ductless systems are set up in the room they’re meant to heat or cool.
To begin, a ductless system normally has two pieces of equipment: an outdoor compressor with a condenser coil. On the other hand, each indoor unit has an evaporator coil, a fan and a washable filter. A single conduit contains the power cable, two refrigerant lines and the condensate drain. In cooling mode, a heat pump functions by moving heat from inside the house to the outside. The indoor unit captures and sends the room’s heat to the outdoor unit, where it is cooled and sent back to the room as cooled air. In heating mode, the procedure is reversed. Even in freezing temperatures, there is enough heat in the air to be captured and delivered to indoor spaces.
What’s the difference between a single-zone vs. multi-zone mini-splits?
A single zone mini-split employs one outdoor compressor linked to one indoor air handler, whereas a multi-zone mini-split joins a single outdoor unit to several indoor units. The chief advantage of a single zone is that it functions perfectly for heating or cooling a small space or a single room. Keep in mind, instead of ducts, much smaller electrical cables and refrigerant lines link the outdoor and indoor units.
Moreover, new room additions, finished garages and attic conversions can also benefit from mini-split installation. Rather than adding to the existing ductwork and possibly overloading the system, a dedicated indoor unit will deliver efficient climate control specific to that space.
On the other hand, a multi-zone unit offers tailored temperature control for different rooms and functions best when you want to heat or cool several spaces in your home at the same time. Again, rather than ducts, electrical cables and refrigerant lines connect the outdoor and indoor units.
What’s more, you can adjust each mini-split unit to any temperature desired. For example, one room can be 68 degrees while another can be 72 degrees.
Okay, you’re almost convinced. Let’s look at just a few of the benefits of a Mitsubishi heat pump system?
- All-electric, all-climate Mitsubishi heat pump systems are the perfect answer for swapping our old or current combustion furnaces, no matter where you live.
- Mitsubishi all-electric heating and air-conditioning systems run with zero emissions by employing compression and heat transfer instead of fuel combustion, cutting air pollution and dependence on fossil fuel.
- True, they’re good for the planet, but energy-efficient Mitsubishi heat pump systems also boost your home’s comfort and value. Mitsubishi heat pumps allow you to zone your home with specific indoor units, providing the exact capacity each space requires. These systems employ INVERTER-driven compressor technology in the outdoor until, consuming only the exact amount of energy necessary to maintain the preferred temperature.
- Smart controls: Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, you can tweak your Mitsubishi heat pumps from wherever you happen to be, so when you come back home, you enter a comfy space with no surprises.
- Whisper quiet operation: Nothing like noisy window units, a ductless mini-split places the noisier components in the outdoor unit. The indoor air handler runs so quietly, you’ll hardly know it’s running.
