Making it through a freezing Toronto winter can be tough enough without experiencing uneven heating or cold spots in your home, however, it’s a very common experience for many homeowners. If you’re experiencing cold spots in your home, ductless home heating may be the answer to your problem.
Why Your Home May Not Be Experiencing Even Heating
Uneven heating in your home can be caused for a plethora of reasons. Most commonly in older homes, cold spots can arise from poor insulation or a lack of sealing and weatherproofing. If you don’t live in an older home, cold spots may arise from an old or malfunctioning furnace, or even just particular rooms that are difficult to heat like a bedroom over the garage.
What Is Ductless Heating?
Ductless heating, or what many people know as ductless mini-splits is a type of heating that works independently of your furnace and your preexisting ductwork. Ductless heating is installed on a room-by-room basis with one or more indoor units that provide warm air and one external unit that transfers heat. Ductless heating systems are installed intentionally in certain rooms to maximize comfort or to create a controlled climate for just one room.
When It’s A Good Idea To Install A Ductless System
There are several reasons why a homeowner may choose ductless home heating for their home, but one of the most popular reasons is due to cold spots present in some areas. If you notice that you’re experiencing cold spots in certain rooms or areas, first ensure that it isn’t a quick fix like weather stripping or needed furnace maintenance. If you have a cold spot or a cold room due to the layout of your home or the age of your home, it’s a good idea to look into installing a ductless system for one or more rooms that are in need of extra heating.
