Ductless mini-splits will cool and heat your home while taking up less space than traditional HVAC systems. They provide comfort with increased efficiency and can even save you money on your utility bills. If you’re considering an upgrade, here’s how you’ll benefit.  

How Will You Benefit From a Ductless Mini-Split System?

1. Improved Air Quality

With people spending more time at home, maintaining your indoor air quality will help keep you healthy. Over time, traditional systems will experience a buildup of contaminants in their ductwork. Even their filters can become clogged with dust, debris, and mold. The result is a reduced indoor air quality, which can make you sick.  

However, ductless mini-splits have an advanced, multifaceted filtration system that reduces the bacteria, allergens, and pollen that attempt to enter your home.  

2. Lowers Utility Bills 

Whether from damage or due to improper installation, ducts can form tears or become unsealed in certain areas. When this happens, your home isn’t heated or cooled as efficiently because the air is escaping. Your HVAC system then has to work harder to achieve the temperature you set. It strains the motor, decreasing its life span, and causes an increase in your energy bills.

Ductless systems deliver air directly into your home without a loss of efficiency. By breaking your home up in zones, you won’t have to heat or cool rooms you aren’t using. That saves energy and helps reduce your utility bills. 

3. Reduces Your Carbon Footprint

Ductless mini-splits benefit from advances in HVAC technology to reduce the effect that heating and cooling systems have on the environment. Their zoning systems reduce your energy output along with your carbon footprint. The mini-splits also use a refrigerant called R410A, which has a zero ozone depletion potential.

They follow the Energy Star® guidelines set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency. These guidelines provide a minimum energy efficiency rating that HVAC systems should abide by. Mini-split systems exceed the minimum rating to provide greater efficiency without sacrificing your comfort. 

4. Easy Installation

The process of installing a traditional HVAC system is invasive, as contractors have to make large holes in your walls and ceiling to place the ducts and vents throughout your home. This takes several weeks to complete and will disrupt your daily routine. 

Mini-splits use pipes that need only a three-inch hole to be made into the walls. On average, most installations will be completed in a day.
