Less of the Bad Thanks to Ductless Mini-Splits
When you install a ductless mini-split in your home, you’ll get all of the following benefits, including:
-
Less intrusion
Ductless mini-splits don’t require ductwork, so their installation is straightforward, quick, and nondisruptive.
-
Less waste
Without ducts there is no chance for leaks, so all of the air you’re paying to heat or cool is actually making it to your living spaces, meaning you’re not wasting energy or money.
-
Less IAQ issues
No leaks or ducts mean that as long as you change or clean the air filter regularly, you will have fewer indoor air quality issues to worry about — like dust, pollutants, and other allergens.
-
Less maintenance
Compared to boilers or forced-air HVAC systems, ductless mini-splits require less maintenance, so you won’t have to spend as much time or money dealing with tune-ups.
How Ductless Mini-Splits Give You More
In addition to reducing the amount of unpleasant items you’ll have to deal with when you have a ductless mini-split, you can get more of all of the following:
-
More comfort
A ductless mini-split heat pump, unlike a furnace, boiler, or air conditioner has the ability to both heat and cool. The system can be used year-round for optimal comfort and since each air handler unit has its own controls, you will have automatic zoning which allows you to tailor temperatures to your preference in each area of your home.
-
More energy efficiency & savings
Since there is less waste thanks to the ductless design, you’ll not only see a difference on your energy bills, but you’ll also reduce your carbon footprint with a ductless mini-split.
-
More health
With a furnace or boiler, you run the risk of carbon monoxide being released into the air, along with all of the concerns that come with leaky ductwork. Since a ductless mini-split runs on electricity — not oil or gas — there is no hazardous combustion gases to concern yourself with.
