What’s a Mini-Split System?
A mini-split system is a ductless form of heating and cooling that聽is focused聽on聽specific聽rooms and spaces, not an entire home or building. Mini-split systems are more聽flexible聽and energy efficient than聽traditional聽central air systems and are聽easier聽to install聽because聽there is no ductwork聽involved. They pump air聽directly聽to wall or ceiling mounted air handling units that have聽individual聽wireless electronic temperature control systems.
Mini-split systems aren’t聽just one size, nor are they all聽created聽equally, or for the same size room.聽Comparable to聽traditional聽air conditioners, a mini-split system should be聽picked聽to fit the聽room聽that it will be聽responsible for. Doing so聽means聽more efficient production for you, which聽might聽also聽lead to聽savings on your聽monthly聽energy聽expenses聽as well. They’re聽normally聽used for:
- Hot and/or cold rooms
- Additions/renovations
- Enclosed patios
- Homes聽without space聽for ductwork
- Large, multi-zone living spaces
