Save on Energy Bills in Dallas with a Ductless Mini-Split System
Mini-split systems are great for Dallas 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 often referred to as a mini-split heat pump. Heat pump systems have been used in southern locations for decades to condition homes.
However, mini-splits are more energy efficient because they are zoned systems. This means you can change the heating or cooling in individual areas.
In comparison with regular electric heating systems, the EPA confirmed ENERGY STAR®-rated models can cut your heating bills by up to 50 percent. This is due to the fact that mini-splits transfer heat instead of generating it.
A mini-split system could also lower your cooling costs by 30 percent, in contrast to regular air conditioning. The system is able to conserve energy because it uses compressors and fans to adjust 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.
