Why a Heat Pump is Beneficial
Many different benefits are associated with installing a ductless heat pump in your Olympia home. According to Energy.gov because these HVAC solutions do not have ducts they are more efficient by reducing energy loss which can be more than 30% lost in ducted systems.
One of the main benefits is the energy savings, which will lower your monthly bills. Although it’s impossible to estimate how much money you’ll save monthly because it depends on natural gas and electricity rates and the current weather, it’s not unheard of to reduce your bills by up to 65%.
The durability of these units is another important factor because they often last for 25 years. When compared to a gas furnace that lasts 15-20 years, it’s easy to see how a ductless heat pump with air conditioning can save you some additional money over the long haul.
Maintenance isn’t a significant concern when it comes to heat pumps. You’ll want to clean your filters every few months and have a technician complete some other maintenance periodically, but other than that, these units tend to take care of themselves.
It’s worth noting, as well, that a heat pump can add to your home’s value. Homebuyers are aware of the benefits of running a ductless heat pump and, all things being equal, are willing to pay a bit more for a property that has one installed. While selling your home might not be on your mind right now, adding these features will offer added value when the time comes.

Your Olympia Heat Pump Installation
Installing a ductless heat pump with air conditioning is a lot of work that’s best left to a licensed HVAC Services technician to ensure the job is done correctly.
First, the technician will put up some mounting brackets on your wall. These supports will hold the inside portion of the heat pump in place.
Heat pumps also come with an external section, which your technician will place outside in a strategic location.
Then, your technician will connect the two parts. This part of the job involves cutting a hole in your home’s exterior wall and pushing a plastic sleeve through it. This sleeve will contain the electrical cables and refrigerant lines your unit needs to function.
You’ll also need to run an electrical line from the heat pump to your main electrical panel. This job will probably involve installing a new circuit, which will require the services of an electrician. Hunt’s Services offers this electrical service, so you don’t have to look elsewhere for assistance.
