If you’re tired of drafty rooms and inconsistent temperatures, your HVAC contractor will likely recommend a ductless mini-split system. These systems, which are becoming increasingly popular, deliver both cool and warm air and can provide numerous benefits to your home. With summer just weeks away, ask your HVAC contractor about how a ductless mini-split system can help you maintain your home’s temperature.

How Does It Impact Different Rooms?

Once an HVAC contractor installs a ductless mini-split system in your home, you’ll have better control over the temperature of varying rooms. With a central air system, you’re forced to keep the entire house at one temperature – despite certain rooms being more prone to extra heating or cooling, such as sunrooms, basements, and upstairs bedrooms. However, with a mini-split system, each unit has its own thermostat, allowing you to adjust temperatures to accommodate the needs of different rooms. With this type of heating and cooling system, your family won’t have to fight over the thermostat settings anymore, and you won’t have to deal with uncomfortable temperatures in certain rooms. 

Can It Save You Money?

Energy efficiency is another potential advantage of the ductless mini-split system you can discuss with your HVAC contractor. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 20-30% of the air that moves through a traditional heating and cooling system is lost in your ducts due to leaks, holes, and poor connections. Because the mini-split system is ductless, you won’t waste any of that treated air.

Additionally, because these units can be individually adjusted depending on the needs of a particular room, your system won’t constantly run to try to maintain one temperature, likely saving you money in the long run. Because it’s a simple system for your HVAC contractor to install, maintenance costs will typically be lower as well.
