Save on Energy Bills in Buffalo with a Ductless Mini-Split System
Mini-split systems work well for Buffalo homes heated by ductless systems—hot water, electric heat or radiant panels. They’re also a good approach to heat and cool homes without space for ductwork, additions, garages and more.
The system—an outdoor unit and a quiet, wall-mounted indoor unit—is frequently referred to as a mini-split heat pump. Heat pump systems have been used in southern areas for decades to add comfort to 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 contrast to regular electric heating systems, the EPA determined 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 making it.
A mini-split system could also decrease your cooling bill by 30 percent, in contrast to conventional air conditioning. The system is able to limit energy use 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 accompanied with ducted systems like central air or heating.
