You may have heard of a mini-split system before. Also known as a multi-split system or split-ductless system, these smaller models are unlike traditional heating and cooling equipment. Mini-split AC models are for air conditioning only, while others function like a heat pump.
The split comes from their two-unit design, where one is placed outside the home while the other is installed in the specific room you want to address. But that doesn’t mean mini-split systems are restricted to two. In fact, connecting multiple indoor units to one another is an effective solution for smaller homes.
Mini-split systems aren’t connected to your home’s ductwork, only between the indoor and outdoor unit. Installing new air ducts can be an expensive process, making mini-splits an especially affordable solution.
Since mini-split air conditioners and heat pumps differ from central whole-home equipment, it’s important to determine the best way to handle installation. An experienced technician from Home Heating & Cooling can review your home and existing HVAC equipment. If a mini-split system is the right solution, the next step is choosing the ideal model.
Luckily, Home Heating & Cooling works closely with Lennox. Their line of mini-split systems can provide the compact yet reliable performance you need. With ENERGY STAR®-rated efficiency, Lennox ductless mini-splits are effective regardless of whether you need them for heating or cooling.
But if you have another make and model in mind, that’s fine too. Installation is handled with precision and the long-term health of your entire HVAC system regardless.
Their small design and multi-unit compatibility offer more flexibility compared to
ducted central systems. Tuck them away in cramped corners or high up on interior walls. Ductless mini-splits are especially useful for
zoning setups, where you can adjust the specific temperature for multiple rooms.
Putting in new ductwork is a messy and time-consuming process. Mini-splits don’t require a connection to your ventilation, saving on installation costs. And since they use less fuel when running, you could see lower energy bills too!
Wood shops, garden sheds and other niche structures don’t have to be uncomfortable. A mini-split can turn a hobby space or recent renovation into an oasis of comfort.
