When You Install a Ductless Mini-Split!
There are so many factors that go into choosing a home—location, property size, and cost, to name a few. When you fell in love with that older house filled with character and all the best nooks and crannies, you may not have given too much thought to its ductwork (or lack thereof). At the time, it probably didn’t seem like that big of a deal.
The good news: it’s not that big of a deal. As temperatures start heating up in Texas, you may be worried about keeping your older home cool. After all, living in a ductless home can feel like a constant battle with unreliable, weak window AC units that just don’t cut it. Thankfully, there are better solutions available.
Your options for a ductless air conditioner are no longer limited to noisy, rickety window units. Instead, try a ductless mini-split—perfect for small homes or houses lacking traditional ductwork. Bring peace back into your home and reclaim your windows with this preferred ductless solution!
Looking for a change? Let’s explore what makes ductless mini-split systems ideal for your older home.
How Does It Work?
A ductless mini-split system operates using an outdoor compressor and in indoor air handler connected by refrigerant tubing and electrical wiring. The indoor unit is usually mounted on the ceiling or wall and can deliver cooled air into your home without the use of any ducts! Plus, during the chillier months, this system can be used to heat your home, too.
These small indoor air handlers are installed in rooms throughout your home, but each unit can work independently. This means you can set different temperature zones for every room, giving you complete control over your air conditioning. You won’t believe it’s not a traditional AC system!
The Right Choice for Your Small or Older Home
You’d be mistaken to think you’re compromising by opting for a mini-split. In fact, these systems provide a number of advantages over traditional HVAC units. Traditional systems that rely on ductwork pick up dust and debris as they circulate air through your home, while ductless mini-splits skip the ducts and have multi-stage filtration systems to improve your home’s air quality. Traditional duct systems can lose up to 40% of the heating or cooling energy put out by the system due to leaks and other issues— hiking up your energy costs. Mini-splits are extremely energy efficient, helping the environment while lowering your monthly bills.
Moving into a home that’s unsuitable for traditional ductwork may feel frustrating, but we’re here to tell you that traditional does not always equate to being the best. Nowadays with the ductless mini-split, it’s no longer an issue to move into a home lacking ductwork. Face the upcoming Texas summer with confidence with this quiet, easily controlled, and efficient AC system.
