Things are starting to heat up outside, and your wallet may begin to feel the effects of what it takes to cool things down inside. For this reason (and many others), ductless heating and cooling systems are increasing in popularity, as more and more homeowners are realizing the multifaceted benefits of ductless heating and cooling systems, or also known as mini-splits.
So, what is a ductless mini-split system? We’re so glad you asked!
These temperature regulation systems typically include a mounted indoor unit connected to a compressor located outdoors. Keep reading for the top benefits you can enjoy after installation!
If these reasons don’t give you the urge to get a ductless min-split system right away, we don’t know what will.
Ductless heating and cooling systems save homeowners an average of 40% on energy bills. This is substantial, especially during seasons of the year which require extra temperature regulation. If you live in a climate that reaches extremely cold or exceptionally hot temperatures throughout the year, this system may be the best option for you and your family.
Traditional home air duct systems are most likely costing you hundreds of dollars in loss of energy efficiency. It is estimated that traditional temperature regulation systems lose up to 40% of energy - meaning, the air coming out of your ducts isn’t reaching the rooms you need it in.
One of the most convenience-adding benefits of a mini-split system is the flexibility it offers in regards to location. The wall chosen for the unit must be an exterior wall, in order to enjoy the results of the system, but that is its only limitation. It can be placed in any type of room throughout the house!
Poor air quality can greatly affect your family’s health. What you choose to implement for your home’s air and filtration system is an important decision. Traditional air duct systems have a propensity to build up and circulate allergens. In order to mitigate this, regular cleaning and maintenance are required. Ductless mini-splits boast an excellent filtration component, and are much easier to keep clean.
Installing a ductless air system in your home is so easy, you’ll be shocked. Step-by-step instructions can be found in a myriad of locations online, but here are the basics:
And that’s it! Ductless mini-split units give you predictable and consistent air without resorting to costly and time-consuming renovations. If you are looking to install a new ductless mini-split system in your home, it may be time to enlist professional services to ensure proper installation.
Don’t be misled by your current air system’s noise level. Mini-split systems are silent and work around the clock. You can program the unit (most newer models come with a remote control), and walk away. You’ll probably forget it’s running, except for a noteworthy difference in your home’s comfortable temperature!
Because traditional air systems waste up to 40% of your home’s energy, not only are you paying for a service you’re not benefiting from, you’re also relying on an inconsistent energy source that is damaging to the environment. Thankfully, ductless heating and cooling systems utilize energy-saving technologies that result in a lesser carbon footprint.
You may be familiar with the battle of “too hot” and “too cold” in your home. It often sounds like frustration, dissatisfaction, and complaints about the temperature. One of the most convenient aspects of this product is the ability to control the temperature of each installment.
For instance, your bedroom can be maintained at a unique temperature that is multiple degrees warmer/cooler than the living room or nursery. With ductless mini-split systems, everyone is happy. We like to call that a win-win.
