Ductless Mini-Splits vs. Traditional HVAC
Maintaining HVAC systems is a routine part of being a homeowner and property manager, but when the time comes to decide to replace and potentially upgrade your heating and cooling system, it can be a great investment. Ductless mini-splits are similar to standard HVAC units in that they have both outdoor and indoor components, but the primary difference is that mini-splits have a unit installed in each room, typically on the wall just under the ceiling. This type of heating and cooling unit has multiple benefits that make it worth consideration, including:
Improved Energy Efficiency
The inverter technology that ductless mini-splits use helps to convert the standard high-voltage electricity into DC, or direct current, voltage. Mini-split systems also utilize variable-speed compressors, unlike the one or two-speed options of standard units, which means that the individual units don’t need to turn on and off as frequently.
Energy Bill Savings
Paired with the improved energy efficiency are the savings in future energy bills. Since ductless mini-split units occupy individual rooms, only the occupied rooms would use the units when needed. This direct temperature regulation allows you to cut energy costs by only heating or cooling rooms that need it most.
Flexible & Minimally Invasive Installation
Ductless mini-splits are a great option if you want zone control with your heating and cooling systems, while also providing the benefit of minimally invasive installation processes. No major construction is needed to install these units, aside from a small hole being drilled into the wall to allow the refrigerant piping and wiring to pass through. This also provides heating and cooling solutions to smaller homes and living arrangements.
