Ductless units are the most energy efficient version of an "Air to Air" heat pump you can purchase. These remarkably quiet heat pumps and air conditioners can be placed anywhere around the home without being heard indoors or by the neighbors. When compared to traditional outdoor units there is no comparison. Ductless units are a whisper while operating, while traditional outdoor units can easily create a "noise issue" . This type of heating and cooling can be a perfect solution for all multi-story homes, old and new. Many homes in the Northwest have duct work designed to heat the home well, but are not built with cooling the home in mind. What this leads to is very cold lower levels and uncomfortably hot bedroom levels. This common complaint can be avoided by a well designed Ductless heat pump or air conditioner. An added bonus built into these units are their ability to filter and dehumidify the indoor air year round. Possibly the best feature a ductless system has to offer is it's ability to vary it's output of energy. If it has a heavy work load during extreme weather it will run at it's higher output levels. When the weather or the demand on the unit is mild the unit will adjust down and only use as much energy as it needs to maintain a proper temperature. It's not and all or nothing piece of equipment. The high energy savings Ductless units provide allow them to qualify for Federal and State Tax Credits, along with local rebates. A short video illustrating the features of the Daikin heat pump...

We know a properly installed heat pump is a great way for homeowners to "green up" their house. Even below freezing there is enough energy in the outside air to heat your home. It takes very little energy to move that heat from outside to inside. When Summertime hits, the unit reverses it's flow and pulls the heat out of the house. It's an Air conditioner too.
Bad installations have given heat pumps a questionable reputation. Often the heat pump was blamed instead of the technician who did a poor job of installing it. Many installation shortcuts taken by the HVAC company end up causing unnecessary breakdowns, loud operation and wasted energy. Today the units are built better and the factory training is much better.
New technology allows us to install very quiet, reliable and energy saving heat pump systems.
