If you want to reduce the humidity and improve comfort in your garage, then let us tell you about Mini-split ductless air conditioner & heat pumps. They are amazing units and can be the perfect option to heat and cool additional space in your home.
Here is just one example to demonstrate the impact they can have on your home:
This overhaul took some work, but it was the Fujitsu Mini-split Ductless Air Conditioner and Heat Pump that made it all possible. Watch the video below to learn how these systems work and how they can create more comfortable and usable space in your home.
Producers of the popular home remodelling show, Operation Build, which airs on the History Channel, had a problem. The project they were working on – an overcrowded garage remodel for a home in South Florida – had no cooling or heating. After researching their options, they chose the world’s most efficient heat pump for the job.
What are the advantages of a Mini-split ductless air conditioner & heat pump?
The U.S. Department of Energy states:
“Ductless, mini-split-system heat pumps (mini splits) make good retrofit add-ons to houses with “non-ducted” heating systems, such as hydronic (hot water heat), radiant panels, and space heaters (wood, kerosene, propane). They can also be a good choice for room additions where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not feasible and very efficient new homes that require only a small space conditioning system. Be sure to choose an ENERGY STAR® compliant unit and hire an installer familiar with the product and its installation.
Like standard air-source heat pumps, mini splits have two main components — an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units.”
What are the disadvantages of a Mini-split ductless air conditioner & heat pump?
Depending on the application, these systems can cost more that ducted whole-home heating and cooling solutions; however, mini-ductless systems are often installed when existing ducting isn’t accessible.
