Did you know your HVAC system accounts for nearly half of your home’s energy use? Your heating and cooling unit has a major impact on your monthly utility bills, especially during the winter when you’re using your heater more often. One of the best ways homeowners can save money while reducing their environmental footprint is upgrading to an energy-efficient HVAC system, such as a ductless unit from Mitsubishi Electric®.

Ductless mini-splits use minimal energy to cool or heat your home while still keeping occupants comfortable. Avoiding the ductwork of traditional HVAC systems, they use refrigerant lines to connect up to eight indoor units to a single outdoor system. Since they are transferring heat instead of generating it, ductless mini-splits use 60% less energy than standard HVAC systems.

Instead of running vents and ducts throughout the entire home, ductless heating and cooling systems allow you to control the climate for individual rooms. This reduces energy consumption because it doesn’t regulate the temperature in spaces that aren’t occupied. These systems also feature sophisticated air compressors and fans with adjustable speeds, meaning you can save further energy by turning them down as necessary.

Homeowners can also use a smartphone app to program their thermostat remotely. This means you can keep the HVAC system off while you’re not home, such as during the work day, and set it to a comfortable temperature during your commute back.
