Ductless heating and A/C is much cheaper to run.
My partner and I had been discussing installing heat pumps in our house.
There were a lot of pros, however also some cons.
The biggest con was that the heat pumps last for several to fifteen years, and regular air conditioners last for 15 years or more, and the gas furnace would last 20 years or more if taken care of. The cost of the heat pump would be as much as the official heating and A/C system, however my friend and I would have less toil and no duct vents to contend with. The pros were multiple in our eyes. My friend and I would no longer need to spend my savings for fuel for the gas furnace. The duct vents would be gone, and so would the dust that affects my dust irritations all year round. The heat pump, ductless heating and A/C, or mini-split system, has 1 device instead of two. There is a device outside, and 1 inside the house. The heating and air conditioner is all in 1 unit, and it is energy efficient, along with being heating and air conditioner efficient. My friend and I talked to our kid who had a mini-split program installed in his home two years ago. He told us that even in the hottest part of summer, their electric bill only went up by $30 a week. Their winter heating bills didn’t average nearly as much as what they paid for 1 tank of oil. They also had a SEER of 26 for an efficiency rating. With so few cons, and so multiple pros, we’ll have the ductless heating and A/C program installed when Springtime has finally arrived, and my friend and I aren’t upset about needing the gas furnace or air conditioner unit.
