I have considered getting a heat pump idea for our house! I think I would get a ductless heat pump since the upgrade seems so much easier… You don’t need to tear down the walls or ceiling, but there is simply an indoor air handler and outdoor air compressor.
They connect by wiring and refrigerant tubes within a 50 foot range of each other.
The heat pump upgrade only takes a few hours and the architecture of the lake house is secure. I also like that there is no energy loss with air ducts, however did you know around 30% of energy consumption with a Heating as well as Air Conditioning equipment is due to the ductwork? The air can leak out of the metal ducts if there is even a microscopic hole not seen to the naked eye; A small tear around the seam can entirely make a mess of your energy bills, not only that, ductwork can get dirty and polluted indoor air quality separate from regular ductwork cleaning. A ductless unit ensures that it heats and cools the unique room it is in. This allows for zone control if several units are set up with their own temperature control around the house. This additionally will save energy because unused rooms don’t need to get climate control and lake house renters respectfully don’t want the same temperature, then heat pumps on their own are extremely energy efficient too. They don’t create heat energy, but take it from the existing air, significantly cutting down your bills. All these factors have entirely enticed myself and others to heavily look into buying the device. The initial price tag is high, even though I study that over a few weeks, it does pay back for itself.
