One of the big differences between ductless mini-splits and traditional HVAC systems is in the name. Ductless mini-splits heat and cool your home without the use of ductwork. Instead, warm or cool air blows directly from one or more indoor units.
People often choose ductless mini-splits over other HVAC solutions for several reasons.
Zoned cooling
Scalable
Ease of installation
Efficiency
Quiet
Zoned cooling is one of the most popular benefits of ductless mini-splits. This type of HVAC system usually has one outdoor unit that connects to one or more indoor units. Each indoor unit heats or cools a single zone in your home. This means that you can have different temperatures throughout your home. This accommodates people with varying temperature preferences. In addition, in some homes, one part of the house is substantially hotter or cooler than the rest. Ductless mini-splits allow you to make adjustments to the thermostat in those zones only. Finally, with multiple indoor units, you can heat or cool just one small part of the house at a time.
The scalability of the system is also related to this zoning principle. If you add a room to your home, you can simply add another indoor unit. If you had a traditional HVAC system, you’d need to build additional ductwork in order to heat and cool the room. In addition, your existing HVAC system might not be big enough to heat or cool the addition. This is one reason that even people who have a ducted system may choose a ductless mini-split for an addition.
Ductless mini-splits can cost more up front than a traditional HVAC system. However, if you need to add ductwork, the costs could mount until they are similar. Furthermore, adding ductwork can be disruptive. Ductless mini-splits are much less disruptive to install. We only need to drill a small hole beside each indoor unit to run a connection to the outdoor unit.
In addition, you may save money on your energy bill in the long run. You can lose up to 30% of your warm or cool air as it travels through ducts. Zoned heating and cooling also allows more precision in where you heat and cool, which can save money. Adding a smart thermostat can further increase your efficiency.
