1. How Ductless Mini-Splits Work: Ductless mini-splits consist of an outdoor compressor and one or more indoor air-handling units. They operate independently and can be placed in specific rooms or zones, providing direct heating and cooling where needed.
2. Benefits of Zoned Comfort: With mini-splits, you can set different temperatures for each zone, saving energy by heating or cooling only the spaces you use. This makes mini-splits ideal for large homes or homes with varying heating and cooling needs.
3. Energy Efficiency: Because mini-splits avoid energy loss associated with ductwork, they can be more efficient than traditional HVAC systems. Many models also come with Energy Star ratings, meaning they meet high standards for energy efficiency.
4. Easy Installation: Installation is simpler and less invasive than installing ductwork. Mini-splits require only a small hole for the refrigerant line, making them suitable for older homes or additions where ductwork isn’t feasible.
5. Cost-Effectiveness: While the initial cost of a mini-split system may be higher, the energy savings and ability to control temperatures in specific areas can offset this expense over time.
