Ductless heat pumps provide an alternative solution for buildings that lack ducts or a central heating system. They are also suitable for structures with boilers and radiators or baseboard electric heaters. These pumps are available in single and multi-zone options. A single-zone ductless heat pump can be used to supplement heating and cooling for specific areas where no existing system is in place or where the current system is unable to provide sufficient comfort, such as in bedrooms, second floors, building additions, separate units, or basements.

The multi-zone ductless system is designed to accommodate 2 to 8 indoor zones, depending on the capacity of the outdoor unit. Each zone in the multi-zone system is equipped with its own temperature control, offering flexibility for customized comfort throughout the home. Additionally, certain ductless heat pump systems are capable of providing heat even when the outdoor temperature drops as low as -30°C, ensuring reliable performance even in extremely cold conditions.

The ductless heating and cooling system is designed to work without ducts. However, the copper lineset and wiring must be installed through the walls and other structures. If the installer is not familiar with the building structure, they may end up causing damage to the building by cutting the wrong area, resulting in a massive repair cost for the homeowner. The copper lineset must be protected from sharp bends or physical damages, and proper support and insulation must be provided. Unfortunately, unprofessional installers often neglect these important factors.

The drain system is also a critical component, and it must be installed correctly with standard pipes and fittings. Otherwise, there is a risk of flooding and damaging the building.

Since ductless mini splits use complex technology to provide efficient heating and cooling, only a certified technician can calibrate the unit and resolve any issues during installation.

At 4most Energy, we have over ten years of experience working with Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, and Daikin ductless systems. That's why we offer a 365-day customer satisfaction guarantee and a 10-year warranty on our work.

The price of ductless mini-split units varies based on the model and installation cost. Brands like Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, and Daikin are more expensive due to their high quality, advanced technology, longer lifespan, and better warranties.

In Canada, there are two types of ductless mini-split units available. The first type is a standard ductless heat pump, which is efficient for cooling but has limited heating capabilities in colder regions. Typically, the standard single-zone ductless AC is the less expensive option, with a price range of $2,500 to $4,000, including installation, while the multi-zone option costs between $4,000 to $8,000.

The second type of ductless mini-split unit is a Cold-Climate Air Source Heat Pump, equipped with advanced technology that provides efficient heating even at temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius. The single-zone cold-weather ductless models range from $4,000 to $6,000, while the multi-zone options start from $8,000.

The multi-zone models can be used as a primary source of heat, and some options can go up to 8 zones with a single outdoor unit.

Absolutely, Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pumps provide efficient heating even at temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius, making them the best heating and cooling solution for new homes and renovations.

By transferring heat instead of generating it, ENERGY STAR-certified ductless mini-split heat pumps use 60% less energy than conventional electric resistance-based heating systems, which can help you cut your heating costs in half.

Additionally, these heat pumps can cut cooling costs by 30% compared to conventional room air conditioners, thanks to their advanced technology compressors and fans that can adjust speeds to save energy.

If you're looking for reliable heating and cooling solutions, consider the Fujitsu XLTH Extra Low Temperature Heating model or the Mitsubishi Hyper Heat, including the Mitsubishi Zuba Hyper Heating or H2i, as they are well-known models that can provide peace of mind.

The mini split system offers a variety of options for indoor unit placement. Units can be mounted on the floor, in the ceiling, or with a duct and vents specific to a zone.

CEILING CASSETTE

Sleek and modern ceiling-mounted options include recessed ceiling cassettes that fit between standard joists, 4-way recessed ceiling cassettes, and ceiling-suspended units.

FLOOR-MOUNT

Multi-flow vanes allow for fast warm-up and efficient operation. This is a great option to consider if you're looking to replace your radiator or electric baseboard.
