3 Reasons To Give A Ductless Mini Split Serious Consideration

Once unfamiliar to most homeowners, ductless mini splits have gained widespread popularity, and for good reason. These neat little systems can be installed in a number of ways. They’re highly efficient, and they offer a number of performance features, such as zoned temperature control and quiet operation.

Versatile installation
The ductless mini split is composed of an outdoor unit and up to four air handlers. Flexible conduit can extend up to 50 feet from the outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. The flexibility of this setup affords you many installation options. For instance, if you need to cool and heat a room in the front of your home, you can install the outdoor unit in a less conspicuous area at the back of your home. The air handlers can be located in several spots, high on a wall, for example, or even on the ceiling. The thin conduit needs only a small access hole to connect the outside unit to the interior components.

Efficiency and comfort
The ductless mini split is a highly energy-efficient way to cool or heat an addition or even a small home. It offers several advantages over other options:

•There’s no need to run ductwork into new construction. If you’re cooling and heating a vacation cabin, you don’t need to worry about disturbing the walls for ductwork.
•You won’t have any window air conditioners interfering with your view outside.
•You can enjoy the comfort and energy savings that a zoned system delivers. Each air handler can be individually controlled.

Because there’s no ductwork, you don’t need to worry about losing any conditioned air. An average home can lose as much as 20 percent of its conditioned air via breaches in the duct system. This ultimately spikes energy bills.
