When your heating and cooling system breaks down or reaches the end of its life span, you’ll need to decide on a new system for your HVAC contractor to install. Ductless mini-splits are a combination of air conditioners and heat pumps. They utilize a compressor to take in and cool outdoor air, similar to central HVAC systems. However, central AC uses ductwork throughout a home, while mini-splits are ductless. Here are some of the benefits ductless systems provide.

What Are the Benefits of Ductless Mini-Splits?

1. Eco-friendly 

Mini-splits are Energy Star® certified, meeting the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) guidelines for efficiency. These systems use a refrigerant known as R410A. This substance does not produce greenhouse gas emissions that can deplete the ozone layer. Their heat pumps cut down energy use by up to 60% compared to traditional electric furnaces, creating less waste and preserving natural resources. 

2. Quiet 

HVAC contractorSystems that use air ducts collect debris when dirt and dust settle onto vents and enter the tubes. As these particles move through ductwork, they can cause crackling or banging noises. Since mini-splits use individual handlers to blow air directly from the compressor into each room, they run quieter and do not require annual air duct cleaning services.

3. Easy to Install

Many traditional systems use air ducts, which may require HVAC contractors to break through walls or ceilings during the installation process. Mini-splits are quicker, easier, and less messy to install. The indoor and outdoor units connect via a small tube that passes through a discreet three-inch hole in the wall.

4. Cost-Effective

Since ductless mini-splits are smaller than central AC systems and forced air units, they require less power to operate. They deliver warm or cool air directly to the rooms of your home that contain handlers, resulting in zero efficiency loss and a reduction in monthly utility costs.
