Money, comfort and energy efficiency are always priorities with homeowners, so the [advantages of a ductless heat pump](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/ductless-mini-split.html) should be taken into serious consideration. [![ductless heat pump](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ductless-hvac-225x300.jpg)](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ductless-hvac.jpg) Also called a mini-split system, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat pump or multi-split system, it's an environmentally-friendly, money-saving solution to inefficient window-mounted air conditioners and baseboard heating, especially in older homes. - A ductless heat pump can be easily retrofitted to any home with an existing ductless system, including those with hot water heat, propane, kerosene or wood-fired space heaters or radiant electric panels. If you're expanding your living space, they can be installed in any room addition, especially if extending extra ductwork into the space would be unfeasible or prohibitively expensive. - This system is a highly efficient, low [maintenance](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/maintenance-ductless-mini-split-make-priority.html) unit that delivers heated or cooled air directly into different areas or rooms in your home without routing it through ducts. Up to 20 percent of the air being circulated through your home can be lost due to holes, leaks or poorly connected ducts, adding to your annual utility bills. - Budget-conscious homeowners are aware that the cost of heating and cooling expenses for a family of four can average up to or more than $1,000 a year, nearly half of the home's total energy allowance. Replacing your current system with a ductless heat pump can cut those costs by about 30 percent. - With traditional HVAC systems, you usually control the temperature of your entire home with one thermostat. A ductless heat pump system is designed to work in zones, giving you better control over the temperature in different rooms or areas.
