Mini-split heat pumps are growing in popularity as an affordable, efficient alternative to HVAC systems.
Mini-splits provide excellent heating and cooling with the ability to create individual zones within a home or business; each zone can have its own thermostat so you’re able to efficiently heat or cool certain areas that are occupied, which can help save on energy expenses. You get room-by-room temperature control for year-round comfort.
The Benefits of a Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump
Mini-splits units are small in size and extremely flexible. They can be installed in multiple locations and offer zoning and control for individual rooms. This provides you with more control of temperatures in each room, set to the temperature you want it.
Units can be suspended from ceilings, mounted flush into drop ceilings, or hung on walls. You can also operate your mini-split heat pumps with remote control, keeping you warm or cool with the touch of a button without ever leaving your chair.
Mini-splits do not require ducts. Instead, an interior unit and an outside unit are connected to handle the heating and cooling directly. This is one of the reasons why mini-splits are so energy efficient. According to energy.gov, more than 30% of energy is lost as air travels through the ductwork. Air traveling through ductwork can leak, losing its heating or cooling capacity.
While mini-split heat pumps will work in any home or business, if you do not already have ductwork installed, they are a viable solution to eliminate the hefty expense of installing ducts.
Ductless Mini-split Heat Pump vs. Air Conditioner
Ductless mini-split systems are more efficient than air conditioners or heat pumps because you are controlling one room at a time rather than an entire home. Instead of keeping the entire home at 68 degrees, you can choose the temperature in individual rooms. This helps save energy costs by only heating or cooling the rooms you’re using.
When comparing a mini-split heat pump vs an HVAC unit, mini-splits are also more environmentally friendly because you can shut off rooms that don’t need to be cooled or heated and save energy. Mini-splits use variable-speed compressors that will continuously adjust to keep your home or business at the desired temperature. They don’t switch on and off all day like HVAC units, requiring less energy.
Mini-splits are also easier to install compared to other types of air conditioning systems, saving on installation costs.
