Ductless heaters have often been used in areas where any kind of centralized heating is either too expensive or not physically viable. They are favored by apartments and other smaller living areas because they do not rely on ducts, making them only able to heat the rooms in which they are installed. This may seem like a disadvantage when compared to the reach of central forced air systems. However, there are a number of reasons to prefer ductless heating, even in a larger living space. Let\u2019s take a look at a few of the advantages of ductless heating.<\/p>\n
Centralized forced air heating systems are actually incredibly inefficient when it comes to transporting heat across the house. Ducts are extremely fragile systems, prone to leaks of all kinds from various causes. This causes a staggering amount of heat to be lost every time the heater turns on. The US Department of Energy has estimated that as much as 30% of a forced air system\u2019s heat is lost to duct leaks every time it\u2019s turned on.<\/p>\n
Ductless heating systems don\u2019t have to worry about any of this, because they deliver heat directly into the room. They are also not combustion based systems, which means they don\u2019t have to burn any sort of fuel to create heat. Instead, they siphon thermal energy from the air outside and bring it into the room. This makes ductless heating systems quite a bit cheaper to operate than a lot of other systems.<\/p>\n
Centralized heating is also not very sensitive to the individual needs of a home\u2019s occupants. Most of the time, a central heating system has two states: on and off. It does not account for varying temperature levels in various rooms, only for the immediate area around the thermostat. This \u201cone size fits all\u201d solution can lead to hot and cold spots throughout the house, as well as wasting energy on rooms that don\u2019t need heating.<\/p>\n
Ductless heating systems avoid this problem by only having one room to worry about. If you have a ductless heating system installed in each room, you have the option to not only set a different temperature for each but to only heat the rooms that are occupied at the moment. This saves you quite a bit of money.<\/p>\n
