Why Install a Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner?

When it’s time for an air conditioner replacement or a new air conditioner installation, homeowners may immediately think to install a traditional central air conditioning system that delivers cooled air throughout the home via air ducts. However, another type of air conditioning system to consider is a ductless mini split AC system. This post will discuss the benefits of a ductless mini split air conditioner installation.

Lower Energy Bills

Installing a ductless mini-split AC system is beneficial because it is more energy-efficient than a central forced-air AC system. This improved energy efficiency translates to reduced energy consumption and lower monthly energy bills. So, although they are more expensive to install, the lower monthly cooling costs can help homeowners save money over time.

Unlike traditional central air conditioning systems with ductwork, mini splits operate without the need for extensive ductwork, eliminating the energy loss associated with air ducts. Additionally, their zone-based cooling means energy can be saved by not having to cool unused rooms or zones of the home to the same temperature as the rest of the house.

Quick and Easy Installation

Another benefit of ductless mini split installation is that it is often easier and faster because it doesn’t require installing ductwork that runs throughout the home. Unlike conventional central forced air systems that require cutting into walls and ceilings to install air ducts, ductless mini-splits need only a small hole through an exterior wall to connect the indoor units to the outdoor AC unit.

The absence of ductwork also makes mini-splits great for installing air conditioning in a variety of home designs and spaces. They can be used to add air conditioning to homes, such as older homes, that lack ductwork or the space to install ducts. Mini splits require minimal structural modifications, making them an ideal choice for homes where preserving original features is a priority. Ductless mini split systems can also be installed in room additions or spaces that require cooling, or where extending the existing ductwork from the house is not possible.

Zoning and Flexibility

Ductless mini split AC systems consist of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units. Each indoor unit distributes cooled air to the room or zone in which it is installed, and each indoor unit can be controlled separately. This means that different rooms in the home can be set to different temperatures, offering more flexibility and control over home comfort, especially when compared with forced air AC systems that cool the entire house to one temperature set on the thermostat.

Ductless mini-splits create individualized climate zones, allowing people to customize the temperature to their preferences. For example, different bedrooms can be set at different temperatures if people in the home have specific room temperatures they prefer for sleeping. Additionally, if homes have certain rooms that don’t get as cool as others or a house has two stories where a central AC might struggle to cool the upper floor, a ductless mini split can ensure those spaces reach their ideal temperature. The zoning of ductless systems can also deliver energy savings by avoiding the need to cool unused rooms to the same temperature as the rest of the home.
