Pros of Ductless Mini-split Air Conditioners:

Depending on your home’s construction, the ductless Mini-split Air Conditioner systems can be of help in a variety of applications, including whole-house heating and cooling. Here are some advantages of the mini-split systems:

• They come in small sizes and are flexible. This allows zoning (either heating or cooling) of individual rooms which makes it possible for each zone to have a thermostat. Each occupied space can, therefore, be conditioned, thus saving energy and cutting on cost.
• They are also easier to install compared to the other system. For instance, in between the indoor and outdoor units, you only need a three-inch opening (through the wall) for the conduit. In addition, many of the company’s manufacturing the mini-split systems can easily provide connecting conduits of different lengths.
• Mini-splits don’t have ducts and therefore help in avoiding energy losses. Ducts often account for more energy consumption in space conditioning. This is true especially when the ducts are in an unconditioned space.
• Mini-splits offer a wide range of flexibility when it comes to interior design options.
• Split-systems also help in keeping the home safer because the hole in the wall is small. This is not the case in window mounted and through-the-wall air-conditioners, which intruders can easily take advantage of.

Installation of Ductless Mini-split Air Conditioners:

In fact, they are not easy to install. During AC installation, the installer must correctly size each of the indoor units and carefully judge the right location for installation of the unit. Oversized or wrong location of air-handlers often leads to short-cycling. This ends up wasting energy and doesn’t provide good temperature and humidity control.
