Ductless Mini-Split Advantages

Ductless cooling and heating systems are energy efficient, environmentally friendly and completely customizable. They offer homeowners the ability to cool and heat specific zones of their home to the exact temperature they desire, providing consistent and exceptional year-round comfort. Here are a few of the many benefits that ductless mini-splits can provide.

Quick & Easy Installation 

One great thing about ductless mini-split systems is that they can be up and running in as little as one day. They are simple systems to install which are made up of a compact wall-mounted indoor unit and an outdoor compressor. These two units are connected through a small hole in your wall that is only about three inches in diameter. Because of the way ductless mini splits are installed, homeowners no longer need to worry about rebuilding walls or ceilings around ductwork. 

Extreme Efficiency

Using high precision technology, mini-split systems keep air flowing without the typical stops and starts of conventional systems which wastes energy. Mini splits also have no ducts, so they avoid the energy losses associated with the ductwork of central forced air systems. Mini split systems also operate on less power than traditional forced air systems which saves energy. Homeowners can also create “zones” in their home, which means they no longer need to cool rooms that aren’t occupied.

Whisper Quiet

Mini-splits are designed to be extremely quiet. They do not have fans, so you’ll never have to hear the disruptive clanging of a central air system turning on and off again leaving loud noises in the past.

User Friendly

Operating your ductless mini-split is extremely easy. These systems can be controlled with a small wall mounted controller, a handheld remote control, or an an app from your smartphone. This is convenient for when the system is located high on the wall or ceiling. Whichever way you choose, the system is in your control.

Reduces Your Carbon Footprint

The compact size of ductless  systems and their zoning capabilities allows for higher energy efficiency. These systems follow Energy Star guidelines, which means that they are more energy efficient than the standards set by the U.S. federal government. Some ductless splits are made up of 83% recycled material and use a refrigerant which is known for its zero ozone depletion potential which means less of an impact on the environment.

Considering purchasing a ductless mini-split for your home is a no brainer. The system will provide you with ultimate comfort throughout the warmer months while being cost and energy efficient.
