“I already have a great heat pump in the lounge. Is there something else I can do to keep the bedrooms warm?”Great question. Ducted heating systems are relatively new to Christchurch, compared to traditional, established heat pumps. While the cost barrier to installing residential ducted systems has come down considerably in recent years, it’s another reason that’s slowed their uptake in Christchurch homes. As the price of ducted systems slowly fall, and more people are thinking about whole home heating solutions, many people want to know, how will your new ducted system will work with your existing heat pump?  Safely Heating Your HomeFor example, you have a great heat pump that heats your lounge and open plan kitchen area. That’s where you spend most of your time, and that heat pump does an excellent job of keeping the family warm in winter. When it’s time to go to bed, you fuss around with electric blankets, or wall panel heaters, remembering to turn them on 40 minutes or so before you need them, and turning them off again before you go to sleep. It’s a bit of a hassle, especially if you forget to turn on your electric blanket or heaters in advance and you go to sleep in a freezing room. Equally if you forget to turn them off and you wake up sweltering in the middle of the night… or worst case scenario, you wake to the beeping smoke detector. Mitsubishi ducted systems are amazing whole home heating solutions, but did you know Heat Pumps NOW can customise a half-home heating system for your house in Christchurch? Customised Ducted Heating SystemMitsubishi ducted systems are amazing whole home heating solutions, but did you know Heat Pumps NOW can customise a half-home heating system for your house in Christchurch? If the back end of your house gets cold in winter, we can install ducts into the bedrooms and hallway, just to heat those rooms. The heat pump in your lounge continues to do an amazing job, and with the push of a button, you can have a nice, even heat through the other rooms in your home. Forget messing around with electric blankets and panel heaters, each with their own timer. Your half-home Mitsubishi ducted system has just one timer, and can safely run overnight without the risk of a fire hazard. The accurate thermostat will also hold your rooms within a specific temperature range, making sure you don’t overheat or become dehydrated in the middle of the night.  You don’t need to worry about multiple remotes, or children fiddling with the heat pump’s controls in the middle of the night. You can control the settings through the Mitsubishi Wi-Fi app on your phone, or at the central control panel, tucked in the master bedroom or wherever is most convenient for you. Best of all, with the ducts positioned near the bedroom windows, your Mitsubishi half-home ducted system can help reduce condensation and moisture along your window sills. That’s one less job for you to do in the morning, while helping to keep your home healthier and drier. Half The System, Half The CostNaturally, if you only need half the size of a regular ducted system in order to heat half of your home, you can expect to pay around half the cost.
f course, if you want Heat Pumps NOW to come and remove your perfectly good heat pump, arrange for a painter and decorator to come and cover up the hole left by the heat pump in your lounge, and then have us install a whole-home Mitsubishi ducted system then we can do that too… We feel a half-home ducted system and using a heat pump that already works is probably the most efficient and cost effective solution for you. Do you have a working heat pump in your lounge? Want to know more about your options for just heating the rest of your Christchurch home? Contact the team at Heat Pumps NOW on 03 377 7393 for a free in-home consultation and quote for a half-home ducted system.

These AC ducts have a high diameter and resemble tubes. They are made up of a metal framework that is encased in flexible plastic and insulated. This form of ducting is frequently less expensive and simpler to install. It's perfect for tight spaces, where solid constructions can be difficult to install. It can also be used to join stiff ductwork to an air outlet. When building flexible ducting, it's crucial to keep in mind that there should be no kinks or bends that could obstruct airflow.
