The weather has gotten frigid here in the greater Princeton, NJ region and that’s got many of us in the area wondering if our heating systems are going to keep us warm all winter long. A high-efficiency furnace can definitely do the job, but if you’re relying on an older furnace, or if there are still areas in your home that are hard to heat, now is a good time to consider making the most of your home with a ductless mini-split.
How Ductless Mini-Splits Work
A ductless mini-split is a highly efficient dual-purpose HVAC system that offers both heating and cooling. It works much like a refrigerator does to remove heat from your home during the summer and uses a reverse process to pump heat into your home during the winter.
Ductless mini-splits are unique in that they eliminate the need for ductwork. So rather than delivering conditioned air throughout a house using air ducts, they pump conditioned air directly into particular areas within the house. You may install one mini-split in a single room or area in your home to complement your existing heating and cooling systems, or you may choose to install multiple mini-splits for a custom, whole-home heating and cooling system.
The Benefits of Installing a Ductless Mini-Split
Because mini-splits are so different from traditional forced-air systems, they offer a number of unique advantages. With a mini-split, you can:
-
Make indoor temperatures more consistent
-
Customize temperatures throughout your home using various zones
-
Heat and cool your home only where you need to
-
Reduce home energy consumption
-
Eliminate energy loss through leaky ductwork
-
Lower your heating and cooling bills
-
Improve indoor air quality by eliminating dirty ductwork
Mini-splits also offer tremendous design flexibility. You might choose to suspend your mini-split from the ceiling, hang it on a wall, or opt for a floor standing model.
