Ductless Heat Pumps and Erroneous Thinking In Suffolk County


From Mitsubishi manufacturer website information: 

They Don’t Work In Cold Climates ( down to -13F)

Mitsubishi is manufacturing an innovative heat pump that works below 0 degrees F. Their name for this system is Hyper-Heat  . These systems deliver 100 percent heating capacity at 5° F outside temperature.Offering higher efficiency ratings than boiler-based systems, ductless heat pumps cost less to operate by maximizing the amount of heat generated from the energy consumed.
ABOUT DUCTLESS HEAT PUMPS
Like any technology, ductless heat pumps need to be used properly and under the right conditions.them. And like anything in the internet age, ductless heat pumps are subject to all kinds of misinformation and misconceptions that can mislead consumers. Here are four of the biggest misconceptions being spread about ductless heat pumps.

They Are More Expensive To Run Than Oil Or Gas Heaters

This is demonstrably false. The cost saving associated with split-ductless heat pumps is dependent upon a number of factors, including the efficiency, condition and location of the original equipment, energy type and climatic region. Yet study after study shows that the use of electric heat pumps will save you between $1,000 and $2,000 annually in energy costs.

They Collect And Distribute Bacteria

Most split-ductless heat pumps are equipped with filter systems and self-cleaning functions, so that bacteria and spores don’t have an opportunity to settle. Incoming air is purified in several steps. Large plastic filters which cover the heat exchanger, as well as electric filter collectors, can both be washed with soapy water. An internal fan insures that the heat exchanger dries completely, eliminating any chance of bacterial growth.

They Are Only Suitable For New Construction and Not Existing Properties

Like any heating system, ductless heat pumps are more efficient in well-insulated new build houses, where they are often combined with other heating systems such as underfloor in order to make full use of all available space. But they are also a perfectly good option for existing housing stock, and an especially good option when the homeowner wants to add air conditioning as well as upgrade their heating system.

They Don’t Have A Long Life Cycle Because They Operate Twelve Months A Year

This is simply wrong. Dirt, improper application and service, plus lack of preventative maintenance are the main reasons for heat pump failure. You operate your vehicle for twelve months a year, too, but you don’t expect a top quality model to break down for that reason alone.
