“A great customer of ours was looking for a way to heat and cool their cabin in Cascade Idaho. It is a beautiful log cabin that had no air conditioning system and the source of heat was a fireplace and electric baseboard heat. Electric baseboard heat is expensive and the big fireplace took lots of wood and did not help heat all of the bedrooms and areas of the home. We were able to find the perfect solution for this home by installing a 5 head Hyper Heat Ductless Heat Pump system! The Hyper Heat Cold Climate heat pump can heat down to -13F and is the perfect solution for the cold Cascade Idaho winters.”

The Challenge: Designing a System That Would Keep Each Area of the Cabin Comfortable Year-Round
Designing a system that would keep each area of the cabin comfortable, both in the summer and the winter. Installing the wall mount units in a way that looked good against the rough cut logs. We also went with a few of the Black EF Designer Mitsubishi indoor wall mount heads that look very nice against the rugged logs.
The Solution: A Cold Climate Multizone Ductless System with Hyper Heat Outdoor Units
Installing a Multizone ductless systems with Hyper Heat outdoor units, designed for Cold Climate conditions. We installed 3 GL white wall mount heads, one in each of the bedrooms, and then 2 EF Designer Black heads, one in the living room and one in the Kitchen/Dining Area. We also installed the outdoor units off the ground a few feet to ensure proper operation even during the winter when they often experience heavy snowfall.
The Benefits: Whole House Comfort At the Fraction of the Cost of a Conventional HVAC System
Whole house comfort at the fraction of the cost of running the electric baseboard heat or installing a ducted system. The units are quiet, dependable, efficient and provide amazing comfort any time they want to use their Cabin.
Cost/Benefit Analysis: Energy Cost Savings Over the Long Term
The cost to go with ductless, mixed with the amount of savings they would receive on energy savings, is substantial compared to going with an electric forced air furnace, or using the existing baseboard heat.
Summary of a Successful HVAC Installation
“The customer was able to find a whole house comfort solution that was efficient, durable and quiet! We were also able to install the Black EF designer heads that fit in very well with the rustic logs in the log cabin.”
