Are you looking for an easy way to heat and cool your home without turning your home into a construction zone? How about an energy-efficient way of moderating the temperature of your home? Well then we have the perfect solution for you: ductless mini-split heating and cooling systems! Unlike central AC systems that have conditioned air flowing through ductwork, mini-splits are wall-mounted in each room. This blog will go over 5 reasons why you should choose ductless mini-split heating and cooling systems for your home.
1. Mini-Split Systems are Highly Flexible Solutions
Unlike traditional heat pumps and central air conditioning systems that have to force heated and cooled air through ducts, ductless mini-split systems deliver air through the wall-mounted units. These systems consist of a small outdoor unit and one or more indoor units that only require mounting capabilities and access to electricity. They offer homes owners a cost-effective way of adding HVAC systems for:
- Home additions
- Small homes
- Single-story homes
- Condominiums
- Apartments
- Homes using ducted forced-air systems
2. Mini-Split Ductless Systems Can Save You Money
One of the major reasons people decide to go with mini-split systems is because of their overall cost savings. Utility costs are skyrocketing and these systems are a good way to combat that problem. Energy-inefficient systems cause monthly bills to rapidly get out of control. Mini-split heating and air conditioning systems need less power to operate due to their small size and ability to provide individualized temperature control on each room. They also allow homeowners to create “zones” in their home, which means they no longer have to waste energy on heating and cooling rooms that are not being occupied.
3. Improved Air Quality
You can breathe happier with mini-split systems as they provide better air quality than a traditional central system. Traditional HVAC systems accumulate dirt, dust, and other allergens that can cause allergies and other health issues. Those systems require professional cleanings on a regular basis to prevent air quality issues. Ductless mini-split air conditioning and heating systems, on the other hand, offer multi-stages of filtration that drastically reduces the presence of:
- Dust
- Bacteria
- Pollen
- Allergens
- Other harmful air particles
4. Quick and Easy to Install
Installing a traditional HVAC system is a highly disruptive activity that can take several weeks. Ductless systems, on the other hand, have a far less invasive installation process. Depending on how many indoor and outdoor units are required, this system can be up in running in as little as one day! These systems run on small pipes that only require a small three-inch hole. This means homeowners don’t have to worry about rebuilding walls around ductwork and losing precious square footage.
5. Lowers Your Carbon Footprint
The small size and zoning capabilities of mini-split systems allow for a greater level of energy efficiency. These systems follow ENERGY STAR guidelines, meaning that they are significantly more energy-efficient than the minimum standards set forth by the federal government. Apart from saving you money, these systems notably reduce your carbon footprint!
Mini-split heating and cooling systems completely remove ductwork from the equation and make it super easy for people to enjoy a comfortable home environment without having to worry about paying drastic amounts on their energy bills. They provide improved indoor air quality and are quick and easy to install.
