Reasons to Explore Ductless Mini Split Heating and Cooling Systems

What is Ductless Heating and Cooling?

Summer is here, meaning the air conditioner works overtime to keep the home comfortable. Unfortunately, in too many cases, the air conditioner will fail this season and leave homeowners without climate control. When that happens, deciding the best choice for their future comfort can be too stressful. Learning about their options beforehand can make the decision easy when the time comes. 

In most homes, central air conditioning is the choice for climate control. However, with recent technological developments, mini-split systems are becoming more popular. When decisions must be made quickly, most owners will stick with what they know, but that isn’t always the best choice. Here are some benefits and reasons why many people choose to upgrade their air conditioner to a ductless heating and cooling system. 

Lower Energy Bills All Year Long 

The first reason that ductless systems have become popular is the cost-saving nature of the design. In a ductless mini split, individual blowers are controlled to accurately adjust the temperature in each room of the home. This allows household members to save tons of energy by only cooling occupied portions of the home, a feature discouraged in central cooling systems. 

In addition to reducing total energy use, ductless systems don’t have to rely on leaky ductwork to convey conditioned air. In a typical central heating and cooling system, as much as 10% of the efficiency can be lost to air leaks or poor ductwork insulation. With ductless mini splits, all the cool air is pushed directly into a room, drastically reducing energy bills. 

Non-Invasive Air Conditioning Installation 

The second reason that homeowners consider mini-split systems is the ease of installation. In central systems, ductwork installation accounts for as much as 50% of the project cost because ductwork is labor-intensive. Instead of installing bulky ductwork throughout the home, a mini-split needs a small hole cut for refrigerant lines and a simple electrical hookup. 

These features make ductless heating and cooling the system of choice for two specific situations: 

• Ductless systems are perfect for add-ons or retrofitting older homes without ductwork
• Ductless systems make adding heating and cooling to areas with no access to ductwork easy

Easy Comfort and High Indoor Air Quality 

In the summer, utility bills can cause as much sweat as the heat and humidity. With ductless cooling systems, homeowners can enjoy greater comfort at a lower cost. Instead of setting one temperature for the entire home, mini-split owners can tightly control each zone, saving energy and staying more comfortable. 

As a bonus, homes with ductless systems enjoy better indoor air quality. Mostly this is because there is no ductwork to harbor grime and encourage mold growth. Instead, the air is filtered almost constantly through integrated filters where dust and humidity are removed. This makes ductless systems the obvious choice for allergy sufferers.
