Benefits Of A Ductless Mini-Split System

Most people in homes that have no existing ductwork choose window air conditioners for cooling. But there is an alternative to those loud, ugly units: a ductless mini-split air conditioner.

These compact, quiet systems consist of two components that connect via a thin pipe through an external wall: the indoor air handler and the outdoor condenser or heat pump (depending on whether the model is cooling only or can also function as a heater). A single condenser can power up to four air handlers, creating customizable cooling zones in your home.

Key Benefits Of A Ductless Air Conditioning System

Besides not requiring ductwork mini-systems provide a number or advantages – particularly over window ACs. Install a Mitsubishi ductless system and you’ll also enjoy improvements in:

• Efficiency – Most ductless systems have SEER ratings of 20 or more – well more than the required 14 rating (and far higher than window units, which typically run in the 14-15 range).
• Installation flexibility – Air handlers can be installed wherever you need them, including windowless rooms.
• Savings – Ductless systems provide targeted cooling to your most frequently used rooms, so you won’t waste money cooling the rest of the house. Upgrading to a high-efficiency unit can also bring rebates and tax breaks, which can save you even more money.
• Air quality – Ductless systems can drastically reduce dust, bacteria, pollen, allergens and other air-borne nasties.
• Ease of use and installation – Imagine never again having to lug AC units out of storage! Ductless systems install quickly – usually in a day – and require only a small hole in your external wall for piping.
• Environmental performance – Not only are ductless systems more efficient, they also use a refrigerant called R410A – a more ozone-friendly option than yesterday’s Freon.
