The primary benefits that come from using a mini split include:
- Efficiency: The use of independent handlers means less overall power to run the system.
- Zone Climate Control: This equates to energy savings.
- No Ductwork: This makes for an easy and accessible installation.
- Flexible Designs: The ability to design systems that work with the needs of each room in a building.
- Noise: The absence of ductwork makes these units one of the stealthiest ways to cool or heat a home.
Let's consider each of these in a little more detail.
Efficiency
Mini split systems tend to be a lot more efficient than your typical central split systems. Many mini splits boast high SEER ratings. (SEER is short for seasonal energy efficiency ratio and is an industry standard for measuring the efficiency of air conditioners.)
SEER for mini split systems is often impressive. The ratios usually range from 18 SEER all the way up to an amazing 42 SEER. With ratings like that, your future system will be able to reduce your energy bills significantly compared to other heating and cooling solutions.
These efficiencies also qualify for various rebates as well, which is another incentive to consider.
Zone Climate Control
Have you ever wanted different rooms in your house set at different temperatures? Multi-zone mini split systems allow you to keep each zone at a different temperature. This gives you the power to control the temperatures throughout your house easily and keep each area exactly the way you want.
No Ductwork
Ductless mini split systems are exactly what their names would lead you to think they are — ductless. Instead of ducts, they use copper line sets to run refrigerant to the indoor units.
The lack of ducts offers an easy workaround. It makes these ventless air conditioner systems an especially smart choice when installing ductwork would be too costly, difficult, or unnecessary.
This allows you to place your air handler directly in the space where you want it. When it comes to caring for your system over time, it also means you won’t have to invest in as much maintenance. This contributes to the versatility and ease of mini splits for homeowners.
Scalability
One of the major appeals of mini split systems is that they’re able to adapt to the sizing needs of a home. They offer homeowners and builders alike real convenience, simplicity, and affordability. They can even grow with a structure if you build an addition in the future.
Mini splits are available to control anywhere from one to eight zones. The typical home will need four or five indoor air handlers. These air handlers are available in a variety of mounting options, including wall, floor, and ceiling mounts, making them easy to fit into any space. Homeowners can even mix and match air handler types to adjust to certain conditions.
Noise
Ductless mini split systems, and specifically the inside handler units, have sound ratings as low as 19 dBA. With sound ratings that low, it means that they can operate quieter than a whisper. This allows you to stay comfortable without being distracted by annoying noises.
