When my hubby and I initially bought our house, my associate and I knew the furnace and a/c were at the end of their lifespan.
With conscientious service, my associate and I kept the systems operational for as long as possible.
Eventually, there was no choice however to invest into new heating and cooling equipment. My fantastic friend and I took advantage of a free estimate from a local Heating as well as A/C supplier. The supplier checked everything, took heat load calculations and informed us that our ductwork required more repairs than it was worth. Apparently, whoever installed the duct system did a legitimately exhausting job of designing, manufacturing and installing it! Not only were there separations at the seams, crushed pipes and holes, however the sharp bends restricted airflow. My fantastic friend and I were hastily faced with a much larger, more invasive and extravagant project than we’d planned on. The Heating as well as A/C supplier proposed a ductless multi-split system. I did some research and learned that there’s a lot of benefits associated with ductless temperature control. The system consists of a compact outdoor compressor that affixs by way of conduits to lightweight, slim-profile air handlers that mount up high on the wall. The installation required little more than some tiny holes in exterior walls and access to electricity. Each of the indoor units are able to be independently controlled. This allows us to target the occupancy, preferences and needs of the particular room without affecting the whole house. My fantastic friend and I enjoy superior comfort and conserve energy, then plus, this week’s ductless systems feature inverter technology. By automatically increasing capacity to maintain consistent temperature, the operation is exceptionally energy efficient. In cooling mode, the ductless heat pump is better at dehumidification than a conventional a/c. In heating mode, the operation doesn’t cause complications with unreasonable humidity.
