With winter approaching, homeowners are often scrambling to make their home a little warmer without having to rely on always turning up the thermostat. That is, if it feels like your heating system is not working as efficiently as it once was, you do have a few options. This article explains how you can supplement your central heat by putting ductless heat pumps in the rooms that need the most.

Supplemental Heat

Ductless heat pumps are ideal for homes that already have central heating. Most homes are going to have a few rooms that don't heat up as well as others. This could be because of where they are located in the house in relationship to the sun, how much shade they receive, and how far they are from the furnace. If these rooms don't get good airflow, they aren't going to heat up. Ultimately, you will often end up turning up the thermostat and making other rooms much hotter than is comfortable just to heat up the cold the rooms. But, if you install ductless heat pump is in the room that needs a little extra key, you can often turn down your thermostat.

Heating Smaller Areas

First of all, it is important to realize that you probably won't be able to heat your entire home with ductless heating. In reality, the pumps work best in small rooms. For instance, a ductless heat pump can essentially he had a 10 x 10 room. But, if you need to heat up multiple rooms, or larger rooms, ductless pumps are going to be the most efficient.

Different Types of Ductless Heat Pumps

First of all, ductless heat pumps are large and ugly plastic appliances that don't look great, regardless of what type you use. Wall-mounted appliances take up wall space and can detract from your home decor. There are portable units which some people like because they can be moved around the room for maximum efficiency. However, they can also be annoying because they have to be plugged in. Having an electric cord strung across the room can be dangerous and annoying if the cord constantly getting unplugged.

Extra Air Filtering

It is also worth noting that ductless heat pumps have HEPA filtering systems to help keep the air clean and odor free. Having a small ductless heat pump could be a lifesaver if you have rooms that are just a little too cold.
