Summer is just around the corner, and families around the country are turning on their air conditioning for the first time this year. If you find your rooms aren’t maintaining the right temperatures or your AC unit is working harder than it should, you may be paying more for a system that isn’t working for you. Consider the following benefits of installing a ductless mini-split system to keep you and your family comfortable this season.

Benefits of Installing a Ductless Mini-Split System

What Is a Ductless System?

Both ductless systems and central air are comprised of two main parts: a condenser, which sits outside the home, and an evaporator that sits inside. A central air system sends cold air from your evaporator into your ducts through the rest of your house. A ductless system sends cool air through a thin cable to a small AC unit on your wall. Ductless systems, as the name suggests, require no ducts or air vents to operate.

Temperature Control

Ductless mini-split systems allow you to have greater control over the temperature in your home. This is especially convenient in rooms on the top floor or the sunroom. These spaces are usually warmer because heat rises, and they get more natural light. With ductwork, if ducts aren’t sealed properly, air leaks and you end up paying more for lower quality. Because ductless systems can customize the temperature in individual rooms, you’re able to achieve your desired temperature quicker and more efficiently.

Time & Money

Ductless AC units work independently, with up to four indoor units per outdoor unit. This makes them cost-effective, helping you save on energy bills. Ductless mini-split systems usually only require a 3-inch hole in your wall for HVAC contractors to easily install the conduit, so you can place them virtually anywhere on your property. The small and sleek design also blends well with home decor.
