Heat / Cool Ductless:
Heat Pump MSZ-GL

Unlike traditional heating and cooling systems, they do not require ductwork. Most people who  use ductless heat pumps do so to heat and cool additional rooms in their homes or businesses, such as bedrooms, basements, garages, or sunrooms.  

There are three components in a mini-split heat pump. The system typically consists of one or more indoor units, an outdoor unit, and a remote controller or thermostat to control it. Condenser units have a large fan at the back and a coil at the back of the box.

The process is very straightforward:

• The fan draws air from the outside environment into the heating coil.
• A refrigerant then transfers the heat or cold into the house through a mini-split unit's indoor system.
• Ducted HVAC systems heat and cool your entire home without allowing you to set individual temperatures in each room. A thermostat can only sense the ambient temperature at the location where it is installed. Thus, higher floors may be warmer than your basement. Ductless systems are often installed in older homes or buildings heated by boilers or electric baseboards. 

A Ductless Mini-Split can also help provide additional cooling and heating to the upper floors of a larger home. This is because central air conditioners sometimes struggle to cool the top floor of a home. 

Ductless Heat Pumps consist of one indoor unit and one outdoor unit, while multi-zone heat pumps contain one outdoor unit (condenser) and up to eight indoor units associated with it. Ductless systems have capacities ranging from 0.5 TON for a single zone to 4 TON for multiple zones. You can have eight indoor units working simultaneously under one outdoor unit, each of which has a different temperature. 

Depending on the size of your home, the capacity of the system, the difficulty of installation and the accessories you need, the cost of a Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump or Air Conditioner installation can range in price.

A ductless HVAC system's price is largely determined by its spacing. As you heat or cool more space, you need larger indoor or outdoor units. In general, a ductless system's price is likely to be comparable to that of a central air conditioner. In contrast to central air conditioners, ductless systems don't rely on ductwork and blower systems to circulate air. In addition to the outdoor unit, an indoor unit must also be installed in each room, adding to the total cost. 

A ductless mini-split heat pump usually lasts 10-15 years, but can last up to 20 years. Various factors can affect the lifespan of these systems.
