Ductless mini splits have made major inroads into home in the US over the past decade. Originally designed to meet the needs of small Japanese homes, the ductless mini split (a.k.a. ductless mini split heat pump) has spread globally to address many different comfort needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone knows how flexible ductless systems are. They don\u2019t just have a single use; they offer a range of benefits that will help out in different situations for homeowners. You may not realize the ways that installing ductless mini splits can help your home. We\u2019d like to change that in this post! Below are several of the ways you can use ductless heating and cooling to your advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Whole-House Cooling for Older Homes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Homes built before 1970 usually lack ductwork because central heating and cooling wasn\u2019t yet the standard for residential buildings. But this doesn\u2019t mean older homes can\u2019t enjoy quality comfort throughout their rooms! Ductless mini splits make it simple to place heating and cooling units (attached to the walls) all around a house. These units connect to a single outdoor unit. This setup requires making almost no changes to the infrastructure of the home, which is especially beneficial if you\u2019ve got a historical home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Whole-House Cooling for New Construction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re planning on building your own home, wouldn\u2019t it be nice if you could eliminate the need to create space for ducts? That\u2019s quite a bit of property you can reclaim! Ductless mini splits give you that option, plus they have high energy efficiency and come with automatic zone controls. You\u2019ll enjoy a sleeker house and lower energy costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Targeting Hard to Heat-and-Cool Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most homes have that one room or that one corner where the central heating and cooling system never seem to do any good. It\u2019s too drafty or it\u2019s too hot. Instead of making a major overhaul to the HVAC system, you can have a strategically placed ductless mini split take care of the problem. Installing a ductless unit doesn\u2019t interfere with the rest of the HVAC system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Add-On Rooms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Are you expanding your home as your family grows or looking to create a larger work space? Whatever the reason, you\u2019ll have a dilemma with your existing HVAC system: it isn\u2019t designed to handle the additional area. Rather than change out the current HVAC system and build ducts to the new room, you can place a ductless mini split in the space. It won\u2019t alter the rest of the HVAC system and it has its own separate controls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Room Conversions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Changing a garage, basement, or attic into a living\/working space is a good way to expand your house. But these aren\u2019t spaces that are normally heated or cooled. As with add-on rooms, you can get around this using a ductless mini split. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
