Save on Energy Bills in Winnipeg with a Ductless Mini-Split System
Mini-split systems are ideal for Winnipeg homes heated by ductless systems—hot water, electric heat or radiant panels. They’re also a good approach to heat and cool homes without room for ductwork, additions, garages and more.
The system—an outdoor unit and a nearly silent, wall-mounted indoor unit—is regularly referred to as a mini-split heat pump. Heat pump systems have been used in southern areas for decades to heat and cool homes.
However, mini-splits are more energy efficient because they are zoned systems. This means you can set the heating or cooling in single areas.
When compared to conventional electric heating systems, the EPA confirmed ENERGY STAR®-rated models can decrease your heating expenses by up to 50 percent. This is due to the fact that mini-splits transfer heat instead of generating it.
A mini-split system could also decrease your cooling bill by 30 percent, compared to traditional air conditioning. The system is able to limit energy use because it uses compressors and fans to calibrate cooling speeds.
Because there are no ducts on split systems, you won’t have the energy loss involved with ducted systems like central air or heating.
