Learn how a ductless heat pump can provide more comfortable conditions and greater energy savings for your Northwoods Wisconsin home.
A ductless air system (heat pump) is a dual heating and cooling system that functions without the use of ducts.
Ductless systems have outside condensing units, just like central air conditioning. But instead of pumping air into an air handler and then through forced air ducts, ductless units pump refrigerant directly to one or more wall-mounted air handlers.
Ductless mini-split systems combine the flexibility of room air conditioners with the whole house cooling of central systems. Although some systems provide heating and cooling, ductless mini-split heat pumps are usually installed primarily for cooling.
A single outdoor ductless air heat pump can serve the home comfort needs of up to four rooms.
Throughout Wausau, Rhinelander, and the Great Northwoods region, many families live in bi- or tri-level homes. Often times, it’s far more practical and affordable to have central air conditioning in the main living level; and yet it can prove to be highly difficult to have that same system provide cooling or heating elsewhere in your home. Let’s say, for example, that you have a family room, office, extra bedroom, and/or a bathroom on a separate level not easily reached by central air conditioning. That’s a perfect application for ductless air.
Other ideal applications include a finished attic, add-on sunroom, or any other area of your home that central air can’t effectively or affordably cover.
