Ductless Mini Splits

Why Go Ductless?

In addition to easy, unobtrusive installation, ductless mini split systems are small and easy to use. Their design lends itself to zoning, helping to further boost energy efficiency in your home. Most models can have up to four air handlers connected to the outdoor unit, allowing for easy, room–by–room heating and cooling. Each indoor unit is controlled by its own thermostat, meaning that each room or temperature zone can be individually controlled.

While zoning capability may help increase energy efficiency, the real benefit of ductless mini split systems lies simply in its lack of ductwork. Duct systems are not only obtrusive and difficult to install. The energy loss associated with them can account for nearly 30% of space conditioning energy losses. That’s a pretty good incentive to eliminate ducts from your home comfort system. Add to that the fact that the indoor air handlers can be installed in a variety of ways and locations and you are left with a heating and cooling option well worth your consideration.

Ideal Application for a Ductless Mini Split

Ductless mini-splits are a terrific solution for homes and businesses where installing ducts is too costly. The combination of an air handler inside and a condenser outside is a reliable choice for many people. Single zone A/C units come in sizes of 9,000 to 36,000 BTUH total capacity and from 13 SEER all the way to 26 SEER! The indoor units can be installed on any outside wall and a small hole will be needed to connect the two components
