A ductless heat pump is among the most energy-efficient home comfort systems available today. However, like most appliances, it requires proper upkeep. With the winter season underway, you’ll want to ensure it is in good working condition so you can get the most heating possible while saving money on energy bills.
In this blog post, EZ Air Conditioning and Heating, the trusted heater service company in the area, shares some tips on how to get the most out of your ductless heat pump during the winter months.
Using a few simple strategies, you can ensure your ductless heat pump is running at maximum efficiency during the cold winter months.
The key to saving energy with a ductless heat pump is to set the temperature at around 68 degrees Fahrenheit. It is considered the sweet spot that offers balanced comfort and energy efficiency during the winter months. It is enough to keep living areas warm, especially when everyone in the household is around.
A programmable thermostat allows you to adjust temperatures to meet your home’s comfort needs or regulate the indoor environment when everyone’s out. It can help you save money by storing multiple daily temperature readings for each day depending on your needs.
Regular maintenance is essential for any type of HVAC system, including your ductless heat pump. Get in touch with your trusted heater repair technician who will make sure all of its components are clean and in good working order so that your system runs efficiently throughout the winter months.
A home that lacks insulation causes your ductless heat pump to work more than what it is capable of to ensure consistent indoor comfort. Be sure to address insulation issues — sealing the attic, windows and exterior walls prevents warm air from escaping and keeps the cold outdoor air out. This makes it easier for your heat pump to keep up with the household’s comfort demands.
Too much dust and dirt on your ductless heat pump’s filter can hinder airflow into the system, affecting its efficiency. Make sure you inspect it every month so you can clean it promptly. See to it that you air-dry the damp filter first before putting it back to the unit.
