Insights from Corey Johnson, President of Mountain Heating & Cooling
“We often get asked if ductless heat pumps work at high elevations, and the answer is yes, they sure do. However, there are some important considerations when we take on a project like that.”
Key Considerations
- Installation Matters:
We’ve discussed in previous videos how crucial proper installation is.
- Altitude Matters:
The altitude must align with the load calculations and system design.
- Altitude’s Critical Role:
Many projects have not been done with the correct altitude D-rates, which can turn a decent design into a poor one. In fact, altitude is so important that we’ve made a case study focused on this.
Case Study and Higher Elevations
- We have successfully completed multiple high-altitude projects, with installations at or above 7,500 feet in elevation.
- Capacity Issues: At lower temperatures, capacity drops—this is something we prioritize to ensure you receive all the capacity we promise.
“It’s not about the equipment we’re putting in; it’s about the promise we’re making.”
If you live at a high elevation and wish to benefit from a ductless system, please give our office a call at 406-586-4007. Our friendly staff will assist you in getting scheduled.
