When it\u2019s time to invest in a new HVAC system, or even HVAC duct replacement<\/a>, you may want to consider a ductless option instead. The added expense of ductwork can make an installation significantly more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skipping out on a more traditional ducted HVAC system can save you money in more ways than one. Plus, ductless mini split units have other benefits that a central unit cannot compare to. You can keep reading to learn more about the benefits of going ductless and why now might be a great time to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Is Ductless HVAC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A ductless HVAC system is just what the name implies. It is a heating and cooling option that does not require any attached ductwork. Ductless models have smaller individual units dispersed throughout your home instead of a single central unit. Each individual mini split unit is placed in a way that it can heat and cool a room or zone of your house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ductless mini splits work as a smaller version of a heat pump. This means that they use refrigerant for both cooling and heating. During the summer, they absorb heat in your home and transfer it outside as a way of cooling. During the winter, they absorb heat from the outside and bring it into your home as a method of heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential Savings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest benefits of a ductless mini split unit is the potential for energy savings. A ductless mini split reduces the chances of air getting trapped in ductwork or escaping through holes. 100% of the air that gets heated or cooled by a ductless mini split blows directly into your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you also stand to save money on the installation. Ductless mini split units do tend to be more expensive compared to a central air conditioner or heater. But if you also have to install new ductwork, that expense can add up quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you consider the addition of new ductwork installation, a ductless mini split is likely the more affordable option. Even if it is a little more expensive upfront, the lifetime savings can add up quickly to make it the overall more affordable option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperature Customization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plus, you have to consider the added benefit of a ductless heat pump offering you the ability to customize temperatures across different zones and rooms of your home. You can use a ductless mini split system to maintain the same temperature across your entire home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, you can close the doors and set temperatures in some rooms to be warmer or cooler, depending on any individual person\u2019s preferences. This type of customization is not possible with a central unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
