Homeowners who are looking for a way to save money on their heating and air conditioning may be able to reduce their energy costs with a ductless mini-split system. Whether you built an addition to your home that cannot be connected to your existing duct system or your home has an existing ductless heating system, you can benefit from this energy-efficient solution for your Heat and Air in Fort Collins.
Ductless mini-split systems require less equipment than traditional air conditioners and can be installed in one day. They offer more security than window air conditioners because they only require a small hole to be drilled in your home to run the wiring whereas a window air conditioning unit makes your home vulnerable to burglars.
Instead of installing ductwork in your addition, consider a mini-split system instead. Mini-splits can have up to four indoor units attached to a single outdoor unit. Each air handler can cool a zone, or room. Because each unit has its own thermostat, you won’t have to cool spaces unless you are using them. You’ll use less energy than you would with a complete air conditioning system because you’ll only have to pay for the cool air you need.
By choosing a ductless system, you won’t lose your cool air through leaks in your ducts. Some homes lose as much as 30 percent of their conditioned air through the ducts. Such significant losses can considerably raise your energy bill. A ductless system, though, eliminates the possibility of these losses and keeps your energy bills low.
When you need a solution to your Heat and Air in Fort Collins, Tri-City can explain your options and recommend the best heating and cooling system for your home. Your friendly and knowledgeable technicians can evaluate your current cooling method and determine the best way for you to cool your home without wasting money on lost efficiency. If you decide to get a ductless cooling system, your contractor can determine the correct size for your home before installing it. Though the system may cost more than window units initially, you will recoup your costs through savings on your monthly energy bills.
