Are Mini Splits Efficient?
Are Mini Splits efficient? Yes, a ductless AC system, a.k.a. mini split, is very efficient since it requires no ductwork. In fact, it is a perfect candidate for heating or cooling individual rooms or spaces. Similar to a traditional AC system, it has two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit.
A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units. Therefore, installation is unobtrusive, requiring only a few small holes for the conduit to be threaded through the wall.
Are Mini Splits Efficient? A Perfect Solution
Their flexibility, sleek design, low maintenance, and efficiency are just a few reason why mini splits are so popular. Ideal for any space, the indoor unit can be suspended from a ceiling, mounted flush into a drop ceiling, or hung on a wall.
Mini-split systems are ideal for older homes requiring a retrofit add-on with “non-ducted” HVAC systems, small homes, dedicated spaces like garages, 2nd floor masters, home offices, sunrooms, or room additions.
Control Individual Rooms
Most models can have as many as eight indoor air handling units, for four zones or rooms, connected to one outdoor unit. In fact, each indoor unit operates from its own control creating a more customized environment that allows for individual comfort preferences.
This means while you are working in your garage, you can set the temperature to your liking. Likewise, your partner or kids can have it cooler or warmer in their personal space. Everyone is happy.
In addition, since mini splits are ductless, there is no energy loss associated with ductwork of central air systems. Nor any security issues, like a traditional window unit poses.
