When your home isn’t as comfortable as you’d like, it can be frustrating. Many homeowners have central heating for their homes but sometimes find that it doesn’t provide the comfort they need. Maybe they’ve added to their home over the years, or have converted previously unused spaces into living areas. Or, they live in an older home and notice some areas simply don’t seem to heat as well as others.
Fortunately, there is a solution when it comes to targeted heating for your home that doesn’t involve obtrusive and inefficient space heating. That solution is ductless heating. Ductless heating systems can provide better home comfort and are highly efficient. Because they’re generally mounted high on a wall or ceiling, they won’t take up valuable living space and are whisper-quiet, so all you and your family will notice is better comfort.
5 Different Ways Ductless Heating Could Benefit Your Home
Not sure if you and your family could benefit from ductless heating? Here are a few different applications in which ductless heating can improve comfort in all the living spaces in your home:
- Additions: If you have an added space that doesn’t have access to your home’s ductwork, a ductless system can help. Ductless heating can help keep an addition, finished basement, or converted space warm without having to use a space heater.
- Outer Buildings: Do you have a garage, workshop, or shed outside your home that you’d like to use during the cooler months? There’s no need to give up your hobbies once the snow flies! You can install a ductless unit and enjoy warmth all winter long.
- Old Baseboard Heat: If you have an old, inefficient electrical baseboard heating system that you’ve been thinking about replacing, you may want to consider ductless. Most homes with baseboard heat don’t have ductwork, which is not needed with ductless heating systems. And, ductless heating is generally much more efficient than electrical baseboard heat.
- Balancing Heating: In some homes, especially older ones, there are areas that are connected to ductwork butt are difficult to heat. A ductless system can provide heat to these areas, making the heating throughout your home more even. What’s more, this can help your central heating system not have to work as hard to heat your home and operate more efficiently.
- Remodels: If you’re remodeling a space in your home and don’t want to add to the cost by changing or adding more ductwork, a ductless heating system can be an ideal option. Not to mention, changing or adding to your home’s layout can mean you need a larger furnace, which you won’t have to worry about if you choose ductless for the renovated space.
And, ductless systems can provide year-round comfort.
Most ductless systems use heat pump technology in order to operate. Heat pumps work by extracting the heat in the air from one space and transferring it to another. In the colder months, ductless heat pumps are able to extract heat from the air outside and bring it into your home. In the summer, they can do the exact opposite – extract heat from the indoor air and pump it outside. As a result, your ductless system can provide you with heating in the winter and cooling in the summer, making it a year-round comfort solution.
