Ductless Heat Pumps
A popular option for homes with boiler or electric heat are Ductless heat pumps. These systems do not use ductwork to move condtioned air around a home. Individual modules or “cassettes” are connected to an outdoor unit with small copper lines and deliver heating or cooling to the space they are installed in. These units deliver conditioned air at very high efficiencies. They are quiet, programable, and easy to operate. www.daikinac.com . The most efficient units use inverter technology. This allows the outdoor unit (condenser) to vary its speed to match the load (amount of work to be done). Rather than cycling off and on as the indoor temperature varies, an inverter condenser continues to run at a lower speed when the load changes resulting in a more efficient and more comfortable air conditioner.
