Although ductless mini splits have been around for decades, they have grown in popularity in recent years. The main thing to know about ductless systems is – as their name suggests – they don’t require the use of ductwork to distribute conditioned air around homes.
Instead, they consist of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handling units attached to walls or ceilings. The indoor and outdoor units are connected by a conduit that houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and condensate drain.
Mini splits can provide just cooling during the warmer months, but when they’re installed with a heat pump, they can offer both heating and cooling for year-round comfort.
Ductless systems can be used in a wide variety of ways. Some of their most popular applications include:
Silver Spring, MD, homeowners love ductless mini splits for several reasons, including:
Ductless mini splits are extremely energy efficient for a couple of reasons. Firstly, when used for heating, ductless heat pumps don’t burn fossil fuels like traditional heating systems. They use refrigerant and electricity to extract warmth from the outdoor air and transport it indoors. They work in reverse during the warmer months to provide cooling. A lack of ductwork also makes them highly efficient. It’s estimated that ductwork can lose 20% of conditioned air or more through leaks.
Ductwork can be safe havens for contaminants and pollutants to gather such as dirt, dust, allergens, and even rodents and insects. These contaminants can eventually find their way into your home’s living areas and negatively affect indoor air quality.
As we mentioned, ductless mini splits can be installed anywhere in your home where you need to provide cooling or heating, making them a highly flexible HVAC solution.
Since each mini split can be controlled separately to create temperature zones, family members have the convenience of setting the temperature to their liking in their rooms. You can also save money by not heating or cooling rooms you aren’t using such as a guest bedroom.
