Why a Ductless Mini-Split Is Perfect for Rooms That Are Hard to Heat or Cool

Ductless mini-splits are an ideal indoor comfort solution for homes and businesses in Carrboro, North Carolina. These state-of-the-art units are perfect for rooms that are difficult to heat or cool using a central or ducted HVAC system. Here are three ways that a ductless mini-split system can help to provide even heating and cooling for year-round comfort.

Home Zoning and Targeted Heating and Cooling

Ductless systems have an outdoor compressor that can support multiple indoor units. Each indoor unit controls conditions in a specific room or zone by way of its own thermostat. With zoning, you can directly heat or cool the rooms you’re using instead of the entire building. You also get better results in rooms that tend to be too cold in winter and too hot in summer. Targeted heating and cooling, therefore, reduces energy waste.

No Air Leaks With a Ductless Mini-Split

Ductless systems do not use ductwork. Instead, air moves directly from the outdoor unit into rooms with a mini-split air conditioner. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, most homes lose up to 30 percent of air through ductwork cracks and leaks. You avoid this waste with a ductless system and, therefore, avoid energy waste. You’ll also get rid of the expense of cleaning and maintaining ductwork.

Cool Spaces Not Served by Ductwork

If you have upstairs bedrooms, an attic apartment, or a home addition, a mini-split is more feasible than extending central air conditioning. Using a ductless AC unit in those areas can easily provide the desired amount of heating or cooling without the time and expense of adding ductwork.

Ductless mini-split installation requires drilling a small hole in the wall to accommodate tubing that connects the indoor and outdoor units.
