Perfect for Home Additions
As mask restrictions lift nationwide, many American workers have adopted a permanent hybrid work schedule: some days in the office, some at home. Hybrid and telework trends are expected to continue throughout the decade, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. In other words, setting up shop at the kitchen table might not cut it anymore. Many Americans may decide to finally build a home office this year.
For new additions to the home, such as an office, garage, or basement, installing a mini-split heat pump can be a convenient way to heat and cool the space without hassle. Since no ductwork is required, mini-split systems are no-frills installations. They consist of just one small outdoor unit and one or more indoor units, depending on the number of rooms involved in the installation.
Great for New Construction
Mini-splits also can work well for new construction applications, particularly in light of current building trends. In recent years, it has become less common for new homes and buildings to include ductwork. In addition to being costly, ductwork installations require owners to compromise valuable space, such as closets and room height. Mini-split ductless systems can free these spaces and improve the overall aesthetics of the building.
Ductless Heating and Cooling Can Save You Money
The overall cost savings are the main reasons homeowners switch to ductless mini splits for their heating and cooling needs. Utility costs have risen dramatically across the country in recent years. When an inefficient system determines the temperature of a home, monthly bills can quickly spiral out of control. Mini-split heating and air conditioning systems use less energy because they are smaller than traditional forced-air systems. There is no efficiency loss because the temperature-controlled air is delivered directly into a room.
Ductless mini-split systems also enable homeowners to create “zones” in their homes, eliminating the need to cool or heat unoccupied rooms. While saving money on utilities, homeowners who install a ductless air conditioning and heating system may be eligible for tax credits and/ or utility rebates in the year they install it. Numerous federal, state, and local programs are available to homeowners and businesses to take advantage of these additional savings.
Easy to Install and Low Maintenance
Mini-splits are easy for HVAC professionals to install. Compared with ductwork, a prerequisite for central air conditioning, installing a ductless system is simpler, quicker, and cheaper overall. Homeowners will appreciate that maintenance is generally easier and more user-friendly throughout the life of their unit. For mini-split systems, the electrical, refrigerant, and condensate drain lines that connect the indoor and outdoor units run through a 3 in. diameter hole in an exterior wall, making it both unobtrusive and easy to install. The condenser is conveniently located outdoors, while up to five air handlers can be placed inconspicuously indoors.
Mini-Splits Make You Happier by Improving Indoor Air Quality
The quality of indoor air is frequently lower than outdoor air quality. Traditional HVAC systems require professional cleaning of air ducts regularly, and even after cleaning, dust and allergens are left behind. Ductless air conditioning and heating systems, on the other hand, provide multi-stage filtration to significantly reduce dust, bacteria, pollen, allergens, and other particulates in the air. Furthermore, all of our Electric mini-split units have washable filters that are regularly clean and replaced.
