What is a Ductless Mini-Split?
A ductless mini-split is a type of heat pump that delivers heating and cooling without relying on traditional air ducts. These systems have two main components: an outdoor compressor unit and one or more indoor air handlers mounted on the walls or ceilings. Refrigerant lines and electrical wiring connect the indoor and outdoor units through a small opening in the wall.
Compared to central air conditioning, ductless systems are simpler to install and can be more energy-efficient, especially in homes where installing new ducts would be impractical or costly. Ductless mini-splits are also designed for zone control, allowing you to set individual temperatures for different rooms or areas in your home. This flexibility not only boosts comfort but also helps reduce energy use by cooling only the spaces you’re using.
Will Ductless HVAC Work for Your Pittsburgh Home?
Many homeowners throughout the Pittsburgh area are discovering that ductless systems are an ideal choice for a variety of situations, including:
- Older homes without ductwork: Ductless HVAC provides modern comfort without needing expensive and invasive renovations to add ducts.
- Home additions or renovation: If you’ve added a garage, sunroom, or finished attic, ductless units can cool or heat those spaces independently.
- Zoning and flexibility: Individual air handlers let you fine-tune the temperature in each area of your home, avoiding uneven cooling.
- Energy efficiency: High-SEER ductless systems often cost less to operate, which can help you save on energy bills during Pittsburgh’s hottest months.
