Ductless Mini-Splits: An HVAC Alternative

Tired of uneven temperatures throughout your home? We get it. That’s why we do what we do. Here at Weathermakers Air Conditioning & Heating, we understand how important air conditioning and heating systems are in maintaining a comfortable home. That’s why we wanted to breakdown ductless mini-splits for all of you today.

Whether you have a room that your central heating and cooling system doesn’t effectively control, or your home does not currently have an HVAC system or built-in ductwork, a ductless mini-split can be your solution to temperature control—to establishing comfort—in your space.

What is a Ductless Mini-Split?

Ductless mini-splits are an effective alternative to traditional, central heating and cooling systems. They do not require any ductwork, making their installation unobtrusive and significantly less expensive. You won’t need to undergo any demolition, as the system simply requires the drilling of a 3-inch hole through one of your walls.

A pipe will run through this hole, connecting the outdoor compressor to your indoor delivery unit, which will be hung on your wall or mounted on your ceiling. You can have multiple indoor units connected to one outdoor compressor, while simultaneously having the capability to control the temperature of each indoor unit separately, as every indoor unit has its own thermostat!

Multiple thermostats allow for customization from room to room; however, if your goal is to maintain an even temperature throughout your entire home, you can set all of your thermostats to the same temperature. This system is versatile, effective, and cost-effective. Call our AC installation South Pasadena pros today!

Ductless Mini-Split Benefits

The Minimally Invasive Installation Process!

Installing a traditional HVAC system in your home or add-on requires extensive construction. Conversely, ductless mini-splits have a streamlined installation procedure!

Ductless mini-splits are the best choice for your home heating and cooling network if you are adding rooms to your current floorplan, have an attic, basement, or garage that needs heating or cooling or have an older home without existing ductwork.

If you have a historic or antique home, ductless mini-splits will preserve the integrity of your homes’ character and design. A 3-inch hole is a lot less disruptive to your homes’ design than torn out walls and cut up ceilings.

Safer Than Other Alternative HVAC Options

Considering installing a window-unit HVAC system instead? Don’t! Window units can threaten your home security, as they require that your window be left ajar, leaving your home more susceptible to break-ins.

Thinking about getting a portable unit? Stop! Portable heating and cooling systems do not effectively control the temperature in your space, as they simply do not have the power to successfully distribute air throughout a room nor do they have the power to adjust humidity. These systems are also maintenance nightmares, as they require regular cleaning of their exhaust hose, air filters, and water pan, or they malfunction and leak.

It’s More Energy-Efficient Than Traditional Systems

The ductwork needed for a central heating and cooling system is responsible for an extensive amount of energy loss. Duct losses have accounted for over 30% of energy consumption in insulated homes. This number goes up if you have an unfinished attic, basement, or garage.

Take this loss factor out of your realm of possibilities by installing a ductless mini-split.

The Customization Capabilities!

We have all had the age-old fight over what temperature to keep our home. If you like it warmer inside, your partner likes it brisk, and your kids like it somewhere in the middle, you can now adjust each of your respective rooms accordingly. Ductless mini-splits are versatile. They can work independently of one another to meet the needs of each and every one of your family members.
