With the electrical rate increases that are forecast ,consumers with electric heat should ask themselves the benefits of installing a ductless heat pump over using there existing electric heat .
Electric heaters were a very inexpensive way to set up a central heating system in houses , there are no service fees and little maintenance , yet electric heat is expensive to operate and cold zones throughout houses are common , making consumers feeling uncomfortable .
Ductless Heat pumps when sized and located correctly will provide a comfortable flow of warm air through out the living space, quality ductless heat pumps will run 3-4 times more efficient than electric heat and can take place of 4-5 electric heaters on the house level they are installed .
A 12000 BTU ductless heat pump will draw approximately the same amount of electricity as 1 1000 watt electric heater , they promote excellent air flow and will also provide air conditioning or dehumidification when needed .
