FAQs

Ductless mini split systems offer several benefits. They're energy-efficient, operate quietly, and provide zoned temperature control, allowing you to heat or cool specific rooms as needed. These systems are particularly beneficial for older homes without existing ductwork, new additions, or for homeowners aiming to reduce energy costs while maintaining comfort.

Replacement may be more cost-effective if your heating system is over 15 years old, experiences frequent breakdowns, or causes significant increases in your utility bills. Energywise Inc's technicians can conduct an assessment to determine whether a repair or an upgrade would be more economical in the long run.

Geothermal systems are indeed a worthwhile investment on Long Island. They're among the most efficient and environmentally friendly heating and cooling options available. While the initial cost is higher, these systems can reduce energy bills by up to 70%. Additionally, state tax credits and rebates are available to help offset installation costs.

Modern heat pump mini split systems are designed for year-round use. These advanced systems efficiently provide both heating and cooling for your home, performing well even during Long Island's colder winter months.

Energywise works with reputable manufacturers known for their reliability and performance. Our product range includes brands such as Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Quilt, Bosch, and Trane, among others. We'll recommend the most suitable system based on factors like your home's size, layout, budget, and energy efficiency goals.

We advise scheduling an annual maintenance check before the start of the heating or cooling season. Regular servicing helps extend your system's lifespan, maintains its efficiency, and prevents unexpected breakdowns.

Traditional HVAC systems use separate equipment for heating and cooling, whereas a heat pump provides both functions using electricity. Heat pumps are generally more energy-efficient and are particularly well-suited to Long Island's moderate climate, especially when combined with mini split or geothermal systems.

The ideal heating or cooling system varies for each home. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your home's size, insulation, layout, and comfort requirements to recommend the most efficient and cost-effective solution. This could be a gas boiler, mini split, or geothermal system, depending on your specific needs.

For standard systems, installation can typically be completed within one to two days following consultation. More complex setups like geothermal or multi-zone mini split systems may require additional time due to their intricate nature. We always provide a clear timeline before commencing any installation work.
