Ductless heating and air conditioning systems, also known as mini-splits, are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners. These small units are installed near the ceilings in individual rooms and connected to an outdoor compressor and fan. Compared to traditional HVAC systems, these are easy and cost-effective to install and offer a number of benefits.

Why Your Home Needs a Mini-Split

1. Energy Efficiency

With traditional HVAC systems, heated and cooled air is forced through ducts into individual rooms. This means that you’re not only heating and cooling rooms that may not be in use but also losing efficiency as the air is directed throughout the ducts.

A ductless system delivers the treated air directly to individual rooms, and you can control the temperature as needed. Ductless systems also use less power in general, which helps contribute to greater efficiency and lower power bills.

2. Easy Installation

Installing traditional HVAC systems typically requires extensive disruption and construction in your home. In some cases, installing the ducts involves removing some or part of the walls and ceilings.

Mini-splits, on the other hand, can often be installed in a single day without any disruption to your daily activities. Individual units are hung on the interior wall, with just a small hole drilled to the outside to connect them to the compressor and condenser unit. This installation makes it simple to upgrade your existing system as well. For example, if you put an addition on your home, a ductless mini-split can extend heating and cooling capabilities without disrupting your existing system.

3. Improved Air Quality

A ductless heating and cooling system helps improve the air quality in your home, thanks to the multi-step filtration systems built into the units. There are also no ducts that need to be regularly cleaned to remove dust, pollen, bacteria, and other allergens. If you or your family experience allergies or other respiratory conditions, a ductless system can help keep the air clean and fresh, reducing health problems.
