El Departamento de Energía de los Estados Unidos afirma que un minisplit sin conductos reduce el consumo de electricidad para calefacción en un 50% en comparación con los típicos hornos y calefactores de zócalo. Eso significa que ayudas al planeta consumiendo menos energía, pero también ayudas a tu bolsillo gastando menos en tus facturas mensuales de electricidad.
Cuando busque electrodomésticos energéticamente eficientes, es probable que vea dos puntuaciones diferentes: SEER y HSPF. SEER, o ratio de eficiencia energética estacional, mide la eficiencia de un sistema cuando enfría. En el noroeste del Pacífico y en todo el país, la norma federal mínima es de 13 SEER. Cuanto mayor sea la clasificación, más eficiente será tu sistema mini split al enfriar. Para que Energy Star la certifique como sistema excepcionalmente eficiente, la bomba de calor sin conductos debe tener una clasificación de al menos 15 SEER.
El HSPF, o factor de rendimiento estacional de la calefacción, mide la eficiencia de la calefacción. Es un mandato federal para que todas las unidades de calefacción tengan un índice HSPF de al menos 7,7. Sin embargo, para maximizar la eficiencia, debe buscar uno con una calificación de 8,5 HSPF, que es el mínimo requerido para obtener la certificación Energy Star. La mayoría de los programas de las compañías eléctricas del noroeste del Pacífico exigen un índice de eficiencia mínimo de 9,0 HSPF.
Si quieres asegurarte de que tu nuevo sistema mini split funcione con la máxima eficiencia, puedes tomar medidas adicionales para ayudar a mantener bajas las facturas de los servicios públicos:
- Aislar las paredes y el ático
Calafatear las ventanas - Instalar un calentador de agua con bomba de calor
Utilizar termostatos programables
Colocar burletes en las puertas
Muchas casas no tienen conductos y añadir conductos es caro y a menudo poco práctico. Los sistemas de conductos residenciales también son difíciles de hacer bien. Si los conductos no se instalan correctamente, la eficiencia energética se reduce considerablemente (hasta un 30%). Los sistemas de conductos mal diseñados e instalados también pueden provocar problemas relacionados con el flujo de aire, el confort, el ruido y la calidad del aire interior. Los conductos deberían limpiarse, pero rara vez se hace.

Rosaline ElfickFebruary 21, 2023 Brandon was our heat pump installer. Arrived early was affable, professional and all went smoothly. He did a good job and left our house spotless. Brittanie McGurkFebruary 21, 2023 Jamie was great! Very effiecient and friendly, he went above and beyond to deep clean and repair a unit. During his visit he was willing to check out another unit and determined it was in need of cleaning as well- he was able to complete this during the same visit and I'm so grateful as it was dirtier than I anticipated- gross! Jamie also shared information about a regular maintenence program which I appreciated. So glad to have my system back to normal, fixed, and clean! info infoFebruary 16, 2023 Friendly and professional from the beginning to end. Tim gave us a very clear plan for the best outcome. His installation team worked together well and efficiently. We especially appreciated how well they kept us informed of what was happening and the steps they were going through. In the end they gave us a tutorial on the equipment and encouraged us to call if we had any questions. Highly recommend them.

We have been pleased with both the heating and cooling. What I wanted to say is that our experience with staff has been excellent, starting with Jan who started the process and onto today with Alexis who did our yearly cleaning and maintenance. She reviewed what she would be doing, made adjustments, was timely and professional. Thank you, Alexis and the Heat Pump Store Danny WalkerFebruary 12, 2023 Rhonda at The Heat Pump store guided us through installing a mini-split in our SE Portland home. The unit functions well (although we've only experienced the heating side so far). It's quiet, reliable, and effective. Rhonda is knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. Recommend.
