In effect the ductless split system is just like the strips except

quickly enough
Actually with the heat strips in an auxilairy heat function, the
heat strips are in series with the heat pump indoor air coil and
the supply air temperature distributed through out the space is
elevated above what the heat pump can put out. An electrical
analogy would be two heat sources in series.
Irrelevant to it being a more expensive source of that heat.
Well you said the ductless split is just like the strips except...........
So I merely pointed out the fundamental difference you were not aware of.
Couldnt bull**** its way out of a wet paper bag.
The ductless booster system will heat up a common area
that would also be recieving heat from the central ducted
system. Now you have two heat sources in parallel so it
already is a smidge different than using the heat strips.
Irrelevant to strips being a more expensive source of that heat.
Just the fundamental difference. The heat strips get the job done but
you have not really thought out this parallel heat scheme of yours in
the central area. You get a little bit of the series action as you try
to trickle heat into the rooms.
Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you
have never ever had a ****ing clue about the basics.
So to avoid the room getting overly hot
the ductless system would shut off.
ONLY when its got the common area back off setback.
That is what I said. The booster is in the central area, it heats the
central area in addition to the primary system. Therefore it and the
primary system warms up the central area so the booster shuts off and
the primary system shuts off or the central area is overheated. So you
can think about your multiple thermostats and where exactly you are
going to put the primary stat.
Dont need any of that, just a stat for the ductless split system
in the primary area, set a little below the normal temp required.
Maybe even motorized dampers on the primary supply to the
central area. So you shut off the supplies to the central area
so not to overheat but you need to draw return from the central
area to try and get this extra heat to the rooms. Hmm this
depressurizes central area, causes infiltration, increases heat load.
Pathetic, really.
Don't see you getting out of overheating the central area rocket.
Your problem.
Give up now on the ductless booster its a dog.
A big problem is to get heat to the other areas, you will
most likely find that you need to overheat the central area.
No you dont. The primary system will equalise the temps fine.
Others have pointed out how this wastes energy. I pointed out how it
also reduces the efficiency of the booster in addition to wasting heat.
Not a ****ing clue, as always.
Thats what you want it to do.
You have warmed up the central area but
all the other rooms are still not recovered.
Wrong, the primary system will be circulating that
warmed up air from the central area to the other areas.
Probably the primary system moves air based on the fact that perhaps
it supplies air maybe 20 degrees F warmer than the room air, and this
is to maintain temperature not recover the temperature.
It doesnt recover the temp, the ductless split system does that, stupid.
Maybe it gets up to a little higher differential in your easy climate
and relatively warm winter ambient maybe you are getting 25 to
30 F degree rise. Okay lets call it a 25 degree rise.
There wont be ANY rise when the stat for the
ductless split system is set to a bit below the
normal temp required and is JUST used to come
back off setback instead of using the strips for that.
See you are a little vague, and won't
layout exactly what you are proposing,
Lying, as always.
Reams of irrelevant crap flushed where it belongs.
I WASNT DISCUSSING MY PERSONAL SITUATION, APE.
Reams of a pathetic excuse for a troll flushed where it belongs.
So you could keep the all the bedroom doors open to allow them
to gain as much heat as they could from the booster heater in the
living room, but you will not have anything close to uniform heat.
Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you
have never ever had a ****ing clue about the basics.
AND when people have got up, it doesnt matter if the
bedrooms arent YET back to the normal temp anyway.
Either the bedroom occupant is still in the bed, and has
been at the setback temp up till then, or they have got
up and have moved to the central areas, stupid.
Well you gave up on the morning setback,
Wrong again, just discussing how to do a
system if you dont want a morning setback.
