Heat pump split systems are so small as to be almost un-noticeable, and they consist mainly of a series of holes drilled into the top, bottom, or middle of a wall.

If your house has a non-ducted heat system, like radiant panels or space heaters, then you can add a heat pump split system. Heat pumps split systems are great for keeping colder rooms warm when it is not possible to either extend existing ductwork, or put in a new system. Split system heat pumps are very similar to air source heat pumps because of their components, an indoor handling unit, and a compressor or condenser for outside. The indoor unit contains the suction tubing, power cable, and refrigerant tubing, and a condensate drain links the indoor and outdoor units.

The Convenience Of Heat Pumps Split System

It doesn’t matter what method of heating you currently use in your home, as you don’t have to alter or take down the current system in order to use the split system. A heat pump split system will work very well beside your current system of heating. Heat pumps split systems are very easy to set up and use, and they use less energy than most other systems. Split system heat pumps can be used to heat any part of the house you want it to, and they have a number of thermostat settings so you can control the heating in any part of your home.

A major benefit of heat pump split systems is their size, and the fact that they are flexible enough to heat or cool individual rooms in your house – so if you want the living room heated and the bedroom cool, you just set the thermostats differently. A good number of systems have only one outdoor connection unit and four smaller indoor units. How many you have will depend on how much cooling or heating is needed for your home.

Installation Of The System

Heat pump split systems are so small as to be almost un-noticeable, and they consist mainly of a series of holes drilled into the top, bottom, or middle of a wall. The hook up between the indoor unit and the outdoor conduit requires only a three-inch hole being drilled into the wall. A split system heat pump should be professionally installed, and the person who does the installation should be able to make suggestions as to where the system will be most useful and economical. A major benefit of these systems is their convenience; once the required holes are in your walls, the rest of the system is installed partly within your basement or crawl space and partly out in the open.

It is possible to have thermostats for each room, which saves you time, energy, and money. Split system heat pumps are very often easier to install than most other types of heating or air conditioning units. Most manufacturers of these systems can provide you with conduits in a range of different lengths. If necessary, you can have the outdoor element of a heat pump split system at a distance of fifty feet from the internal evaporator.
