Ductless Mini Split System Benefits

The weather in Texas’ Brazos Valley can cause some “heated” arguments around the thermostat setting. One person is hot while the other is cold, sometimes while sitting in the same room.

Traditional HVAC systems make it difficult to accommodate everyone’s preferences. Ductless mini split systems can help end the temperature conflicts.

Here is a deeper look at why ductless mini split systems are becoming more popular to create zoned heating and cooling, and are an excellent choice for retrofitting homes with existing HVAC systems. Here are seven reasons you might want to consider a ductless mini split system.

Increased Livable Space

Adding additional living space presents a problem for an existing HVAC system that was designed to heat and cool specific sized living space.

A ductless mini split system is an efficient way to efficiently cool and heat that room, whether it is an attic space, garage apartment, sunroom, etc., the space becomes livable.

Zoned Heating & Cooling

Multi-zoned ductless mini split systems provide the flexibility to create areas where the temperature can be set differently in rooms.

This is great in a situation where a wife likes it a bit warmer in the kitchen, and the husband enjoys cooler temperatures in his office. The possibilities are endless with the many different configuration options.

Increase Energy-Efficiency

Ductless mini split systems include an inverter technology that adjusts the workload of the unit to maintain your desired temperature. This feature reduces the amount of energy required to keep your living spaces at the desired temperature, which reduces your utility bills.

Humidity Control

East Texans are used to high humidity. Mini splits can not only heat and cool your home, but they also remove humidity. The “Dry Mode” feature is designed to remove humidity. Don’t be misled, a mini split is not a humidifier, but it can cut the mugginess that East Texas summers are famous for.

Multiple Models and Styles

When I said that the possibilities are endless earlier, that is very true. Ductless mini split systems are available in many shapes, sizes, and installation profiles.

There are systems that provide wide-area coverage, ceiling cassette units that are ideal for single rooms and smaller open areas, and multi split systems that are large enough that they could replace traditional HVAC systems.

No matter your requirements, there is a ductless mini split system that will meet your needs.

No Ductwork Required

Ductwork requires maintenance. Cleaning and repairing ductwork can be a headache. Ductless mini split systems do not require ductwork by placing an air handler in the exact spot you want to heat or cool.

Mini split systems provide a ductless HVAC system that requires less maintenance than traditional HVAC systems.
