Using Ductless Mini Splits As A Supplement
Normally when people need a little extra help cooling a certain space, they use a window AC unit. We’ve all used one before, and know the good and bad that come with it. If you need a little extra heat, you may use a space heater. There are a few different ways we try to treat a problem room that won’t stay comfortable. Ductless mini splits are a perfect solution to supplement your air conditioner for a few reasons.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless mini splits are VERY energy efficient. They use the heat transfer process to heat and cool your space. This is much less energy consuming than other HVAC systems. Mini splits are designed to be extremely efficient, which is great when it comes to energy bills.
Instead of cranking your current AC up to compensate, install a mini split that will alleviate the job on your current AC, while also bringing down the energy bills.
Whisper Quiet
Ductless mini splits are very quiet compared to other air conditioning systems, especially window units. Ductless mini splits typically make around 20-25 decibels of noise, about as much as a whisper or leaves rustling. A window AC unit is usually around 50-60 decibels.
This is perfect for a bedroom, a living room, or a home office. Honestly, there aren’t many spaces around your home that you want to introduce extra noise to, which makes this a perfect piece of equipment to keep you comfortable without adding the headache of extra noise.
Heating & Cooling
Ductless mini splits can both heat and cool. A window AC or other portable AC system can’t heat your space in the winter. It can only provide cooling. This is also perfect for shoulder season when you may want the AC on some days, then during the chilly nights you could want a little heating. Or you may not want to turn the whole home system on just yet.
The flexibility these units provide gives homeowners a few more options when it comes to home comfort. They don’t have to make a big decision about turning the AC on for the season, or the heater etc. Instead a ductless mini split can provide that small bit of an adjustment you need no matter what temperature it is.
Installing A Ductless Mini Split For A Home Addition
Ductless mini splits are perfect for additions and sunrooms. These spaces are typically added onto the home after original construction is done, and don’t have the ductwork from the original system. In lots of cases it’s a better idea than even adding new ductwork, because the original HVAC system wasn’t sized for a new room that is likely further away from the system as well.
Ductless mini splits require no ductwork, and can make this space livable year round. We have installed mini splits into sunrooms, additions, garages, and sheds. All spaces that don’t have ductwork, but a homeowner may want to use during the summer or the winter.
