What Is A Ductless Mini Split?
Ductless mini-split systems (aka mini split heat pumps or mini split air conditioning units) contain two main parts: an indoor air-handling unit and an outdoor compressor/condenser.
There is rarely any need to rebuild or repair walls when installing a ductless mini split system. With a traditional ducted system, ducting has to be routed along the walls or inside them. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, adding on to a current ducted system could take several days or weeks to complete.
In contrast, most ductless mini splits can be installed in a day. The indoor component of the mini split unit is mounted high on a wall. Then, the outdoor unit and refrigerant tubing, a power cable, suction tubing, and a condensate drain line all connect to the indoor unit through a 3” hole in your wall.
You can have a single indoor system or a multi-zone system connected to the same outdoor unit (up to six). Each indoor unit is independently controlled, allowing you to adjust the temperature with the touch of a button.
Why Install A Ductless Heating And Cooling System?
Mini split heat pumps provide heating and cooling to your living spaces without having to add on to your home’s existing ductwork, saving money and messy installations. A ductless mini split operates independently of your central air system and does not require air ducts to provide heating and cooling.
In addition, mini splits are great at solving comfort problems. In living spaces that are difficult to heat and cool, a ductless air conditioner and heater will help balance the temperature in your home.
If you are looking to heat or cool certain rooms, ductless systems are flexible enough to meet your needs. They also can help everyone stay comfortable if you have family members who have different preferences when it comes to temperature.
Benefits Of Ductless Mini-Splits
Ductless mini-splits offer homeowners of Southeastern PA several benefits, including:
- Cost savings: With their high energy efficiency, ductless mini-splits can save homeowners up to 30% on their energy bills.
- Flexibility: Ductless mini-splits can both heat and cool your space, making them convenient for homeowners, especially during our spring and fall weather, when both heating and cooling can be necessary.
- Energy efficiency: Ductless mini-splits utilize the advanced technology to deliver efficient performance, reducing energy waste and lowering your carbon footprint.
- Longer service life: With proper maintenance, ductless mini-split systems have a longer life span than standard air conditioners, ensuring long-term comfort for your home.
What Types Of Homes Benefit The Most From Mini Splits?
- Homes with no pre-existing ductwork: Older homes often have no ductwork at all making it difficult to route ductwork.
- Homes with rooms that are hard to heat or cool: Rooms that are located at the end of a duct run or cut-off from the main part of the house often have a hard time maintaining a comfortable temperature.
- Family members with different temperature preferences: Instead of battling over the thermostat, ductless systems allow different rooms to be different temperatures.
- Homes with additions or renovated spaces: Sunrooms, rooms over garages, game rooms, home theater rooms, and more are notoriously difficult to heat or keep cool. All are great spaces for a mini split.
How Are Ductless Mini-Splits Different From Standard Air Conditioners Or Furnaces?
- Ductless mini-split systems operate differently from traditional central AC units, providing unique advantages for homeowners. They don’t use ducts to transfer cool or warm air. Instead, each mini-split has a “zone” of reach. The number of zones you need in your home depends on your home’s size and configuration.
- Single-zone systems: Ideal for individual rooms or smaller spaces, single-zone systems allow you to control the temperature independently in each area.
- Multi-zone systems: You can cool or heat multiple rooms simultaneously, providing personalized comfort throughout your home.
- Heat pump systems: Ductless mini-splits with heat pump capabilities offer heating and cooling functions, making them a versatile solution for year-round comfort.
