Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioning Systems Service

There are several ways to cool the home during the summer. And while the traditional methods, such as window units or central air conditioning might work for some, these methods might not be sufficient, or even an option, for others.

The ductless mini split air conditioning system has become a popular alternative to traditional air conditioning systems. Their high efficiency and consistent air comfort make them a popular cooling option. If you’re in the market for a new AC system, a ductless HVAC system (mini split) could be the right choice for all your home comfort needs.

What is a mini split HVAC System?

A ductless HVAC mini split system is an innovative system that permits temperature control of each individual room or space in the home. The system requires an outdoor compressor/condenser, much like a central air conditioner, but uses piping instead of ducting to bring air to the indoor air-handling unit/s installed indoors.

The increase in popularity of the ductless mini split HVAC system in recent years is really no surprise. It offers many advantages and benefits that you won’t find with standard HVAC systems.

Benefits of Ductless Mini Split Cooling Systems include:

  • Easy Installation:  Unlike central AC systems that can require labor-intensive installation, the ductless mini split system entails mounting a wall unit and running pipe from the outdoor compressor to the unit/s indoors. The ease of installation makes the mini split air conditioning system a popular option, especially for homeowners who don’t have existing duct work.
  • Improved Air Quality:  Air quality in the home is a big concern, especially for those who suffer from allergies and respiratory issues. The allergens, dust, and debris that can accumulate in duct work can wreak havoc on the air quality inside the home. The ductless mini split HVAC system provides various filters that clean the air as it travels into the home, removing allergens and greatly improving the air quality.
  • Energy Efficiency:  According to energystar.gov, duct work can be responsible for 20 to 30 percent of energy loss if the ducting has holes, leaks, or isn’t properly connected. This can result in lost energy and higher utility bills. Because the mini split is ductless, wasted energy is minuscule. The ductless mini split HVAC system also reduces heating and cooling costs because temperatures can be regulated in each room or zone. In other words, the only energy used is what’s needed in a specific area. The capabilities of the advanced compressor in the mini split can adjust speeds, so it will not shut off and start up, like the standard compressors used in traditional central HVAC systems. Ultimately, the ductless mini split conserves energy and can save the homeowner upwards of 30% in cooling costs.
  • Customizable:  The mini split air conditioning system can be customized to fit the needs of the home and its occupants. Some of the reasons homeowners choose a ductless mini split include: 1. Certain rooms don’t get cool enough in the summer or warm enough in the winter. 2. A home addition doesn’t have duct work. 3. Only certain parts of the home are used. 4. Homeowners don’t want to waste energy. 5. The occupants can’t agree on air comfort. Whatever the reason, a ductless mini split HVAC system can provide customizable solutions to accommodate any home.
  • Precise Air Comfort:  Thermostats are provided in each room where the mini split is to be used allowing for controlled temperatures. Zone-controlled temperatures equate to precise air comfort and increased energy efficiency for the homeowner.
  • Quiet Technology:  Unlike window units and fans, the only noise from the mini split will come from the condenser unit outside of the home. The whisper-quiet technology of the mini split air conditioning system allows quality home comfort without added noise pollution.
  • Aesthetic Design:  The compact design of the mini split AC system, along with its simplicity, makes it easy to incorporate into any room, regardless of décor.
