Heating Replacement Time: Consider a Ductless System

We’re still experiencing periods of cool weather this March, as well as warmer days in the lead-up to spring. As you start to use your home heating system less and less, you should consider if it’s time to have it replaced. Spring is a good season to schedule this work, since you won’t need the heating system and it’s easier to find time with professionals when their schedules are not so crowded.

But what kind of heating system will you put in place of your old one? You don’t have to get the exact same type, especially if you’re planning on making other changes to your house in the near future. We recommend that you look into the possibility of installing a ductless heating and cooling system.

That’s right: heating ­and cooling

Ductless systems are also known as ductless mini split heat pumps. Like all heat pumps, they can work as both an air conditioner and a heater. You only have to make a simple adjustment to change your heat pump over from one mode to the other.

Great for remodeling and add-on rooms

One of the reasons that people consider installing a ductless heating and cooling system is because they’re planning home remodeling. Ductless systems are very flexible because they don’t require extensive ducts and can be easily placed in most rooms of the house. For add-on rooms, they are ideal since they won’t lead to an imbalance in the rest of the HVAC system.

Improved indoor air quality

If you’re worried about the air in your home because there are people with asthma or sensitive allergies among your household, then going with a ductless system is a smart choice. Without ducts that collect dust, dirt, lint, dander, etc., you will eliminate a major source for allergens in your house.
