If the employer were to reimburse at the full IRS rate, he would be giving the employee $2,700 (based on the 2016 rate of 54 cents per mile). This is quite a bit more than the employee needs to be reimbursed â unless the employer just wants to help with the car payment.
Duct Sealing. In houses with forced-air heating and cooling systems, ducts are used to distribute conditioned air throughout the house. In a typical house, however, about 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts.n houses with forced-air heating and cooling systems, ducts are used to distribute conditioned air throughout the house.

Types of heat pumps. An air source heat pump can provide whole-house heating and cooling when it is fully-ducted throughout the home. These systems are ideal for new home construction, or added to existing forced-air systems. Adding a heat pump to a forced-air furnace will optimize the efficiency of the heating system.A ductless heat pump (or mini-split system) makes a good retrofit to homes with ânon-ductedâ heating systems. Since they have no ducts, they avoid the energy losses associated with ductwork of central forced air systems. ductless heat pump (or mini-split system) makes a good retrofit to homes with ânon-ductedâ heating systems.
