Ductless mini-splits will heat and cool your home as a whole or on a room-by-room basis. Since they don’t require as much time to install, your HVAC contractor will finish the project quickly and with little interference to your daily routine. If you’re considering investing in a mini-split, it has several significant advantages. 

What Are the Advantages of a Ductless Mini-Split? 

1. Simple Installation 

Ductless mini-splits can be installed in as little as a day. During installation, HVAC contractors will create small three-inch holes to run the necessary piping that will cool and heat your home. This allows for a quick installation that doesn’t interfere with or damage your property. 

2. Increased Customization

Each room has different heating and cooling needs. For instance, a sunroom tends to be warmer while a basement tends to be cooler. With ductless mini-splits, you can choose which rooms are heated or cooled. 

The mini-splits have their own thermostats, allowing you to control the temperature of whatever room you’re in. You’ll be able to keep your sunroom a little cooler and your basement a little warmer all at the same time. 

You’ll save energy by not heating or cooling rooms you aren’t using. The system itself also requires less electricity to function than traditional units, which will save you money on your utility bills. 

3. Improved Indoor Air Quality

Traditional systems with ducts need to be professionally cleaned regularly to remove particulates, but some are still left behind. This means that with ducts, sometimes the air quality of the outdoors will be better than it is inside your home. 

Mini-splits use an advanced multi-stage filtration system that will remove all contaminants and allergens from the unit. 

4. Greater Energy-Efficiency 

Ducts need to be correctly sealed. However, whether due to wear and tear or mistakes made during installation, the ducts can leak or form holes. Typically, 20% to 30% of the air that moves through the ducts will be lost due to these imperfections.

By avoiding ducts, mini-splits allow for all of the air to flow directly into your home without any loss.
