It may seem impossible to find one system to handle this range of temperatures, but there is one: a heat pump. Heat pump systems can deliver air through either ducted or ductless systems, and today we\u2019re going to talk about how a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbenergy.com\/heating\/ductless-split-heat-pumps\" target=\"_blank\">ductless heat pump system<\/a> can work in your Southern Vermont home.<\/p>\n<h2>The Components<\/h2>\n<p>A heat pumps system has an outdoor unit that contains the compressor, condenser and heat pump technology, and indoor blowers that deliver the air. Each indoor blower contains a fan, a set of coils and an air filter. The blowers are about 3 feet long and can mount flush against walls or hang from ceilings. Each blower connects to the outdoor unit via a conduit drilled into an exterior wall. The conduit contains a refrigerant line, a power cord and a condensate drain pipe. A single outdoor unit can support up to 4 indoor blowers.<\/p>\n<h2>The Benefits of a Ductless System<\/h2>\n<p>One of the first benefits a ductless heat pump system offers is that it will both heat and cool your home, and it isn\u2019t necessary to have any kind of ductwork. A second great benefit is that heat pumps do not use any kind of fossil fuel; they only use a small amount of electricity \u2013 imagine heating your Vermont home without a single oil or gas bill all winter long! This makes heat pumps very energy efficient. A third benefit is the longevity: heat pumps last an average of 20-25 years versus traditional heating systems, which last 15-20 years. Lastly, the heating and cooling heat pumps provide is very comfortable. Why? Heat pumps blow gently on a low-volume, continuous basis, so the heating and cooling feels more gentle.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Heat pumps should only be installed by experts, so if you think a heat pump may be a good choice for you Southern Vermont home, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbenergy.com\/about\/contact\" target=\"_blank\">contact HB Energy Solutions<\/a> today!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The range of our temperatures in Southern Vermont can be huge: we can see summer temperatures over 80 degrees and winter temperatures of -20.
