Keeping a comfortable temperature inside your home has become a necessity, but many homeowners face several issues with their central HVAC systems on a daily basis. Inefficient and outdated ducted HVAC units can leave you shivering in colder months and burning up in the scorching heat of summers. If you are thinking about updating your current HVAC system, you may get puzzled by the wide range of options at your disposal and how to choose the right one for your home.
Ductless HVAC units are one of the best options available today because of the many benefits they offer to homeowners. In order to help you make a well-informed decision, here are some great benefits of installing a ductless mini system in your home.
Fast and Easy Installation
Because ductless units don’t require expansive ductwork throughout the home and are small in size, they are very easy to install. All you need is an experienced technician to mount the indoor unit on the wall, install the outdoor unit at an appropriate spot, and connect both of them. Most systems are installed in one to two days.
Huge Money Savings
One of the major reasons why homeowners are increasingly switching to ductless HVAC systems is substantial cost savings. These units consume less power as compared to traditional ducted systems because they deliver temperature-controlled air directly inside the room and no energy is lost during the process. You can cut up to 20-30 percent off your monthly energy bills. Moreover, you may qualify for a federal or state utility incentive for more reduction in initial costs. You also save money on regular maintenance costs; ductless mini-splits require little maintenance. Just wash out the filter once a quarter.
Zoning
Unlike central HVAC systems, a ductless mini-split unit can throw warm or cool air into specific areas. Not only does it help you maintain optimum temperature as per your requirements, but it also reduces energy waste.
Cleaner and Greener Alternative
Thanks to their small size and zoning capabilities, ductless mini splits offer greater energy efficiency. This gain in efficiency translates into a reduction in your carbon footprint because you are consuming less energy produced from combustible fuels. Moreover, ductless mini-split systems meet the minimum ratings of Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF) and Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER).
Improved Air Quality
In traditional HVAC systems, airstream moves through air ducts carrying dust, allergens, and other pollutants that build up over time if they are not cleaned regularly by a professional. On the other hand, ductless mini-split units have a multi-stage filtration system that significantly reduces pollen, bacteria, allergens, dust, and other particulates in the air.
Silent Operation
Ductless units are much quieter as compared to a central HVAC system. This lack of noise is a huge advantage for those who find it difficult to fall asleep due to the rattling or humming noises that most HVAC systems make.
