So, you are new to Mini splits, and you are excited… but also confused. I hope reading this will help straighten out a few things.
What are Mini Splits Used For?
Many homes will use a Mini split for a section of the home that does not have central HVAC attached to it. This could be an addition that was added on after the central system was installed or maybe a porch area or separate building that could not have ducting connected to it. As Mini splits grow in popularity more homes have started using them to heat and cool the entire home.
There are other uses that are a little more unconventional. People will install them on boats, mobile homes, RV’s and even shipping containers.
