More often than ever, homeowners are looking to ductless mini split heating systems. We can help find you a <a href=\"\/heating\/ductless-mini-split-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DC mini split<\/a> that does the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you jump in with both feet, it\u2019s important to know what you stand to gain if you\u2019re making the switch from central AC. Let\u2019s discuss the benefits you enjoy when you make the switch to ductless mini splits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Complete Zone Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You want your living room to cool off a bit, but you have no plans on going upstairs for the rest of the night. Why cool both? Why bother heating both at the same time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the entire point: with a ductless mini split, you don\u2019t have to choose to heat or cool your entire home at once. Depending on how many mini splits you have hooked up, you can control one or more zones without impacting the entire house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Ductwork to Maintain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ductwork can become a hassle to maintain throughout the lifespan of a traditional HVAC system. There\u2019s duct cleaning to worry about, duct sealing, pests, and more issues that can pop up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention that it\u2019s expensive to maintain that ductwork. With a ductless mini split, you completely avoid a series of maintenance and repair bills that other people are stuck paying for with their older, inefficient systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You still have to maintain your mini split, but thankfully, a good amount of that maintenance can be done by you. It\u2019s not like you can just tend to your own ductwork in traditional HVAC units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Better Energy Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A central AC or heating system does a lot of work, and sometimes that work heats and cools rooms that you\u2019re not even spending time in. That\u2019s money down the drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you choose which rooms receive heating and cooling, there\u2019s no waste. As long as humidity isn\u2019t a concern in those rooms that aren\u2019t receiving round-the-clock air conditioning, you\u2019re just saving money by being selective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that, mini splits also achieve a higher SEER rating, which defines their energy efficiency. You just have a more efficient system from top to bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Much Easier to Maintain on Your Own (Mostly)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t substitute professional maintenance when it comes to your ductless mini split, but you can handle a fair amount of tasks on your own in between maintenance calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning out the interior and switching out your air filters can both be achieved by the homeowner. You will still need a professional to help as a point of inspection, part replacement, and additional repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Install a Ductless Mini Split System Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">It\u2019s time to make the switch to a more energy-efficient, easily manageable heating and cooling system.
