Benefits of a Ductless Mini-Split System

- Tips
If you live in an older home, a very large home, or have hot and cold spots throughout your home, a ductless mini-split system may be the solution to achieving year-round comfort. A ductless mini-split is a compact ductless HVAC system that you install in rooms where it is difficult to maintain the desired temperature. While primarily used for cooling purposes, ductless mini-split systems can also provide targeted heat to colder areas in your home. The compressor is outside your home, then the cool (or warm) air is delivered via “heads” (like registers) where you need them. In essence, you are creating zone heating and cooling, without a messy remodel to install ductwork.
Here are some benefits of a ductless mini-split system:
Versatility
You can add a mini-split system anywhere in your home. As the heads can be easily mounted wherever you need them and are connected to a single outdoor unit, you can adjust their location and temperature as needed.
Save money
You will save money as you aren’t wasting energy by heating and cooling infrequently used spaces in your home or trying to hit the right temperature in stubborn areas that may lack proper insulation, have more windows, etc. In addition, by installing a ductless mini-split system, you may be able to take advantage of manufacturers’ rebates and tax credits.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
A mini-split system can improve your indoor air quality (IAQ). Many models feature multi-filtration systems to keep out dust, pollen, and other allergens and with some ductless mini-splits, you can remove and wash the filters.
Remote control and quiet operation
Many ductless mini-split systems are operated via remote, so you have complete control over maintaining temperature in select zones. Another bonus is that ductless mini-splits are quiet. You don’t hear them kick on and off like you do with a regular central AC unit or furnace.
