What’s the Deal with Ductless Mini-Splits?
In conventional HVAC setups, heating and cooling systems work with a central air handler to circulate conditioned air throughout your home. By contrast, ductless mini-splits employ dedicated, self-contained air handler units that are installed within the spaces they’re conditioning. This allows them to supply direct heating and cooling without needing air ducts, registers, or grilles.
Each indoor air handler requires only a small line set to supply power and connect to an outdoor condenser unit. Indoor units can be mounted to walls, floors, and ceilings, offering plenty of freedom when it comes to placement. Many mini-split systems even support independent controls for multiple air handlers, providing simple and powerful HVAC zoning capabilities.
How Ductless AC Units Help Conserve Energy
Without air ducts to worry about, mini-splits are tremendously versatile and easy to install in spaces that can’t accommodate forced-air systems. However, that’s not the only advantage they have to offer. Air ducts are often leaky and poorly insulated, resulting in energy losses that can sap the performance of traditional HVAC systems. That simply doesn’t happen with ductless units.
What’s more, with separate air handlers for each conditioned space, mini-splits offer a higher degree of control and customization. Instead of wasting money conditioning your entire home, you’re free to heat and cool spaces only when they’re being used. This flexibility makes it easy to conserve energy, lowering utility costs without compromising your comfort.
