Ductless HVAC System Frequently Asked Questions:

Why is it called a dual fuel?

Dual Fuel systems use two sources of energy for heating purposes.

Why use a dual fuel system?

Ductless split systems use 25-50% less energy than traditional heating and cooling systems. There are three factors that contribute to the efficiency of a ductless system:

With a ductless system, you have full control over the temperature in your home. You can alter the temperature of individual rooms, so you’re not heating or cooling rooms that are rarely used or unoccupied.
Ductless systems target rooms and zones directly, leading to a 25% increase in efficiency. Using inverter-driven, variable speed compressors, these systems are able to run continuously at higher or lower speeds. This allows the system to ramp up or down without losing too much operating efficiency, and avoiding the typical on/off cycling that comes with electric heating and cooling systems.
With a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios) rating between 16 and 22, and a high HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factors) between 9 to 12 or greater, these systems are extremely energy efficient.

How are dual fuel systems different from a heat pump with auxiliary heat?

A duct-free split system is a reconfiguration of a conventional central air conditioner. The split system consists of three basic mechanisms:
