A furnace’s Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) does not take into consideration the amount of heat lost when traveling through ducts, which can add up to a loss of up to 35 percent if ducts run through cold attics or garages. That waste is on top of normal energy loss and fuel waste calculated by the furnace’s AFUE.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ icons_position=”left”][vc_empty_space alter_height=”medium” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_column_text]Closing vents in unused rooms of a furnace-driven heating system offers only limited zone control. By installing split-ductless heat pumps in commonly used rooms, homeowners can rely less on their furnace â even the most efficient of which is less efficient than a heat pump â and dramatically diminish the amount of fuel lost to the operation of the furnace itself, as well as the heat that escapes on its journey through ductwork.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=””][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_empty_space alter_height=”medium” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_custom_heading text=”Ductless Pumps Take The Burden Off Inexact Boiler Thermostats” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1637845841292{margin-top: -3px !important;}”][vc_empty_space alter_height=”medium” hide_on_desktop=”” hide_on_notebook=”” hide_on_tablet=”” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_column_text]Boilers produce heat by boiling water and delivering either steam or hot water to radiators, heat pipes, radiant floor systems, baseboard radiators or air-heating coils. Boilers use either oil or natural gas as a fuel source, and are required to have a minimum AFUE of between 80 and 84 percent. Since boilers are not permitted to have perpetually running pilots, a thermostat has to do its best to automatically regulate the temperature of the water to match the amount of heat required.
By providing supplementary heat through one or more ductless heat pumps, the amount of required heating can be regulated through precise thermostats in individual rooms and zones. This takes the burden off the boiler, and its inexact master thermostat.
Many consumers who install ductless heat pumps never intend to use them as their home’s primary heat source. Modernized, efficient boilers and furnaces can do the heavy lifting, but the amount of fuel they waste and the level of heat they lose can be dramatically reduced when they’re supplemented with strategically placed ductless heat pumps.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
