Why Install a Mini Split System This Year?
An overwhelming majority of people view the new year as an opportunity to make lasting changes that make not just individuals better but also lives, households, and entire communities. Often, those changes begin at home. So why not make a home improvement that not only enhances the home's comfort but also positively impacts the budget and the environment? This post will discuss some of the most significant benefits of installing ductless mini-splits.
Energy Bill Reduction
One advantage of having a mini-split system is its excellent energy efficiency. Most ductless mini-split systems are equipped with multiple indoor units that serve different zones of a home, allowing different zones of the home to be set at different temperatures. If certain parts of the house aren’t occupied or rarely used, homeowners can adjust the temperature to save energy and money.
Another factor that increases a mini split’s energy efficiency is that it does not require ductwork. A lot of energy loss can occur in the air ducts, as well as air leaks, which causes energy consumption to increase. By eliminating the need for ductwork, this energy loss is minimized, and homeowners can save on monthly energy bills.
Quicker and Easier Installation
A mini split AC and heating system can also be installed more easily and in a shorter amount of time than a central AC and heating system because of all the ductwork that needs to be installed with a central air system. Ductless mini-split systems are also less invasive to install, which contributes to their ease of installation for technicians.
Instead of ductwork, mini splits use small pipes that take up less space and prevent more extensive repairs and rebuilding of walls or ceilings that are needed after ducts are installed. How quickly the ductless mini split system installation will take depends on the size of the home and how many indoor and outdoor units are needed. Homes that are older and cannot fit any ductwork or homes with new additions or renovations can benefit from installing mini splits.
Built-in Zones
Because mini split installation does not require ductwork, it is great for heating or cooling rooms in the home that are additions or those that do not have existing ductwork. They are also versatile enough to provide different temperature zones in the house to correspond to the temperature requirements of different rooms.
Individual bedrooms, for example, may be kept at different temperatures depending on the preference of whoever is occupying them or whether certain rooms run hotter or colder due to window placement. In contrast, other areas of the house, like the kitchen, can be kept cooler since it already receives plenty of heat from cooking appliances. This versatility from zoning is an advantage that helps improve the comfort of a home.
