If you’re searching for an HVAC system that will make a significant dent in your energy bills, consider a ductless mini-split. These innovative heat pumps let you maximize your comfort while keeping your heating and cooling costs down.
Ductless Mini-Splits, Explained
Unlike central air conditioning systems, mini splits don’t rely on ductwork to circulate conditioned air through your home. Instead, they deliver air directly into individual living spaces using state-of-the-art air handlers. The air handlers connect to a single outdoor unit via discreet conduit lines. Each air handler has an independent thermostat, allowing you to customize temperature and fan settings in each designated zone. Remote controls make it easy to adjust settings according to your comfort needs.
Versatile Ductless AC and Heating Systems
Freed from the tethers of ductwork, mini-splits work well for a variety of applications. From historic homes to commercial businesses, they’re ideal for structures that can’t easily accommodate a ductwork installation. Since the air handlers operate independently of each other, you can install as few or as many as are needed. The versatility of ductless systems offers multiple advantages.
- Ductless mini-splits let you resolve comfort issues in your home without replacing your current heating or cooling system.
- Whether you’re enclosing a porch or converting a garage, ductless AC offers a great alternative to window air conditioners.
- Allowing occupants to enjoy different settings in different rooms, ductless systems put an end to arguments over temperature settings.
Adding Up the Savings
Ductwork leaks can account for up to a 30% loss of energy consumed by a central air system. Taking ducts out of the equation lets you save money on heating and cooling bills. The ability to heat or cool only the rooms you’re actually using makes a big difference too. You can control the climate in every room without wasting your hard-earned dollars. Advanced technologies also add to the savings. High-efficiency mini-splits feature compressors that adjust operation automatically to maintain settings, eliminating uncomfortable swings in temperature.
Ductless systems install quickly, saving you from the cost and inconvenience of an extensive renovation.
Whether you need to cool a single space or heat an entire building, ductless systems offer an energy-efficient option. Is a ductless mini-split right for you? Call E. Smith Heating & Air Conditioning today to learn more about our top-quality ductless HVAC options.
