The Advantages of Installing a Ductless Mini Split System
Like every other industry, technological advancements have greatly improved the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, or HVAC industry. Systems have improved in energy efficiency and effectiveness, but one particular system that can benefit households when installed is a ductless mini-split system.
Not only are mini splits quieter than traditional central heating and air conditioning systems, but they also offer other benefits, including reduced energy costs, ease of installation, and the flexibility provided by temperature zones.
Mini Splits Lower Energy Consumption
Installing a ductless mini split AC and heating system can reduce energy bills for several reasons. First, energy can be lost through the air ducts in a traditional central HVAC system. However, ductless mini-splits don’t use ducts, reducing energy losses and resulting in cost savings.
Another way ductless mini splits can reduce energy usage and save homeowners money is because they often have several indoor units that can be controlled independently. The temperature can be changed if a room or area of the home is not being used to save energy and money.
Mini Splits Are Easier to Install
While traditional ductwork has its advantages, it can also be time-consuming and difficult to install in a home that is not already equipped with it. Ductless mini-split installation is typically less labor-intensive and can often be installed more quickly and easily. Their easy installation and lack of ductwork also make mini splits an excellent choice to install in:
- Homes without existing ductwork or the space to install ducts
- Older homes that need to be retrofitted with heating and air conditioning
- Room additions or structures where extending or installing ducts is not practical
- Multi-family homes
Flexible Comfort With Temperature Zoning
One of the main advantages of using ductless mini splits for heating and cooling is the zoning and flexibility they offer. Unlike traditional central air systems, which only have one thermostat to control the temperature throughout the house, ductless mini splits allow for individualized temperature control in each room or zone. This means people can customize the temperature to their liking in different parts of the house rather than having to set one temperature for the whole home to improve overall comfort.
With zoning, homeowners can also save money on energy bills by heating or cooling the rooms that are occupied rather than wasting energy on empty spaces. This is especially beneficial for larger homes with multiple levels, homes with varying occupancy throughout the day, or homes with rooms that are not frequently used.
