How a Ductless Heat Pump Can Benefit You
Heat pumps have countless benefits because they’re efficient, flexible products you can use in any season.
One of the first things you’ll notice after making the switch is a reduction in your energy bills. Ductless heat pumps run more efficiently than natural gas furnaces and air conditioners, so you’ll save money. While the precise amount you’ll save varies, you could notice a reduction of up to 65% on your energy costs.
Durability is another benefit you’ll welcome when installing a ductless heat pump. These units last for up to 25 years, so you won’t have to replace them soon after making the switch.
Maintaining your heat pump is also very easy, as all you’ll have to do is remove the filters every once in a while and give them a quick vacuum or wipe. You might need additional maintenance once per year, too, and the technicians at Hunt’s Services can assist.
A significant long-term benefit you could experience when installing a heat pump in Seattle has to do with your home’s value. All else being equal, a house with a heat pump is more valuable than one without because of the energy savings. Investing in one of these units could make your home more attractive to buyers when the time comes to sell, making the process far more manageable.
The benefits of installing a heat pump in your home are nearly endless, so give Hunt’s Services a call at 253-533-7500 to begin the process today.
Installing a Ductless Heat Pump in Seattle
A heat pump installation is a multi-faceted process that will require the services of a professional HVAC technician.
It all starts with the installation of some mounting brackets inside your home. These brackets will support the heat pump when placed on your wall.
There’s also an exterior part of the heat pump that your technician will place in a secure spot near your home.
The technician will then connect two sections through a hole in your external wall. Your technician will drill this hole and press a plastic sleeve through it. The electrical cables and refrigerant lines that power the unit are then pushed through the sleeve, and everything is secured in place.
You’ll also need a new electrical circuit running between your ductless heat pump and your electrical panel. The good news is that Hunt’s Services has a team of electricians who can take care of this job, so you don’t need to contact another contractor.
Once everything is connected, your heat pump will be up and running, providing you with efficient heating and cooling at your Seattle residential property.
