My section basically requires A/C 90% of the time; There are around 6 weeks that get pretty freezing to where a boiler would be nice.
- The heating system doesn’t easily do much or have substantial demands placed on it, and well once my fireplace quit I started looking at unusual options, and I found that a heat pump system was the ideal system for my location.
With a heat pump you get two for one, both heating plus cooling in a single unit; How it operates is super efficient. It moves existing heat energy where you want it, then operating like a cooling system for the summertime season, it provides perfect indoor air when I want it. The ductless heat pump can be zone control operated with a Wi-Fi thermostat. It makes everything simple plus streamlined. Then during the winter time season the heat pmp changes settings to a boiler. The heating function is pumping overheated air from outside the house to the inside. It is cleaner plus more efficient… You don’t burn plus churn fuels, making it a green system. What I liked is that it is such a savor on the energy bills. What is good is that the heating function won’t work if hot plus cold temperatures drop below 40 degrees. In my section that is never a problem, so the heat pump gets the task done. I like having individual air handlers plus one outdoor unit. I have freed up space in the utility closest plus gotten ultimate indoor air comfort. For those in warmer locations, a heat pump can’t be beat.
