If you are looking to expand the usable space of your home, you may find that ductless mini split systems are the ideal solution for heating and cooling your home. A mini split refers to an air conditioner or heat pump that works much like a central system, without the ductwork. 

Where to use a Mini Split 

Mini splits are ideal for a variety of applications, including add-on rooms, attic or basement renovations, garage and workshop conversions, and detached structures. They offer the same comfort as central systems, often with improved efficiency. Mini splits can also be used to solve remodeling problems, such as ductwork that is not easily installed or HVAC systems that cannot be expanded.

Advantages of Mini Split Systems 

In addition to remarkable comfort, mini split systems offer other benefits, such as

Higher energy efficiency: Mini split systems are more energy efficient than central systems due to the lack of heat and air leakage through the ductwork. Many mini split systems have advanced features that make them even more efficient.

Easier installation: Mini-split systems are factory-assembled and come with the refrigerant line installed. An indoor air handler and an outdoor condenser are connected to a flexible pipe. The refrigerant line, wiring, and drain line are all included. 

During the installation process, the technician only needs to drill a hole in the conduit, place the air handler and condenser, and connect them. There is no need to install and seal ductwork to deliver conditioned air. 

When a Mini Split is not a good fit 

Mini splits can be beneficial in some situations, but they are not right for every home. Homes with many hallways and interior doors will impede the free flow of air from the mini split system. Mini splits also cost more per ton than a central system. If you are remodeling your home and need a whole-house HVAC installation, it may make financial sense to invest in a small space mini-split rather than a large one.

If you've decided to add or retrofit a mini split system to your home, exploring the benefits of mini split systems will help ensure your long-term comfort and happiness.
