The Simple Way to Customize Your Cooling Zone

So you want to stay cool but you don’t want to waste energy doing so. You’re tired of some areas of your home feeling like Antarctica while other areas can’t seem to get cool. The good news is that there’s a simple solution to these issues.

A mini-split, also known as a ductless heating and cooling system, allows you to control the temps in each room – instead of setting one temperature for your whole house. Not only does this help increase your comfort but it can save you up to 25% on heating and cooling costs. Many experts believe that ductless systems are the most energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home.

When you compare ductless systems to window units, you’ll see there are many advantages. They’re not an eyesore, they’re much quieter, and they’re a lot more energy efficient. They also free up living space, thanks to the fact that they’re mounted high on the wall or even in the ceiling.

Then compare ductless systems to central air: ductless is more affordable, doesn’t require intrusive ductwork, and is much more scalable. You can easily add units to even unfinished systems like basements, four-season rooms, and basements. With a mini-split system, you don’t have to add expensive, complicated ductwork to these converted spaces.

Yet another huge advantage is that mini-split systems allow you to control the temperature on a room by room basis. You can set one unit to one temperature in one room, and a different temp in another room. This can mean the end to discomfort in one room just to get other rooms at the right temperature. Once again, these units are also much quieter than a central AC unit.

It’s true that a ductless system has compressors located outside your home but the good news is that you don’t need an evaporator unit in your basement or attic. Instead, thin copper tubing can be used to directly pump refrigeration to the evaporators located outside. If you’re using it as a heating unit in cold weather, the same unit does the work in reverse by absorbing the heat from the exterior air and moving it into your home. The result? An efficient unit that provides heating and cooling all year round.
