A mini-split is a type of HVAC system that allows for optimal temperature control and variability. Unlike central air, they can be set at different temperatures to heat or cool rooms depending on their use or location. With only two components (an outdoor compressor and an indoor unit), they don't require ductwork. For more information, consider some of the benefits of installing a mini-split.

Advantages Mini-Split HVAC Systems Offer

1. Zoned Heating and Cooling 

A mini-split HVAC system allows you to create customized temperatures and environments for different rooms in your home. This zoned heating and cooling is especially beneficial in multi-story homes or buildings that don't maintain uniform temperatures. You can improve temperature control in the desired room by installing separate systems and programming the thermostat accordingly. 

2. High Energy Efficiency

While it might sound like multiple HVAC systems would decrease energy efficiency, the opposite is actually true. The main HVAC system won't have to over-work to heat or cool the whole home and you have the flexibility to turn off room-specific mini-split systems when they're not in use. This allows you to take more control over the energy usage throughout your home. 

3. Easy Installation and Maintenance

Mini-split heating and cooling systems are great because they offer easy installation and ongoing maintenance. Since they don't use ductwork, the setup is simple and can be done by a contractor without major renovations. This also makes it much less expensive to add various units to the rooms throughout your home. Plus, you can add heating and cooling to rooms in your house that are impossible with central air, such as the garage or sunroom. 

4. Improved Indoor Air Quality

Another benefit that's often overlooked is the improved indoor air quality that you'll enjoy with a ductless system. Without the need for ductwork, contaminant buildup is virtually eliminated without having to do any extra work from month to month. You can pair your mini HVAC system with an air purification system to further enhance these benefits. If you or members of your family suffer from allergies or other respiratory symptoms, consider switching to ductless mini-split systems for noticeable changes in your health.
