Ductless mini splits are an ideal choice for alternative spaces, and they are the go-to choice for homeowners needing to accommodate a new space. By choosing them, however, you don’t sacrifice comfort.

Ductless systems are very similar to a traditional air-conditioning system: they have an outdoor unit that houses the compressor and condenser and an indoor unit that comprises the air handler. A central conduit line connects the two systems, and it contains the power cable, refrigerant line, and condensate drain tubing.

If your plans this summer include adding on to your home, creating a new space over a garage or closing up a porch and turning it into a sunroom, ductless mini splits are an ideal choice. For homes with forced-air systems, extending ductwork into your new space can be costly and your existing system may not be able to handle the additional load. Using a ductless system allows you to install heating and cooling in your new room without that expense. If you don’t have a forced-air system, ductless models are also ideal for homeowners with other heating and cooling methods, like hydronic, radiant or space heaters (such as propane).

The flexibility of mini splits allows you to address comfort throughout the home, especially if you decide to add heating and cooling to a second space. Outdoor mini-split systems can be connected to as many as eight indoor handlers, so you can install one in your new space and use the additional air handlers in one or more rooms that need a boost. Sometimes, forced-air systems can’t comfortably heat and cool every room in the house, leaving you with overly hot or cold rooms in your home. Using several indoor units in these zones creates the flexibility and convenience to address comfort issues. Many consumers have opted to remove their traditional forced air ducted systems in favor of these ductless multi zone systems.

For new spaces, ductless mini splits offer homeowners a way to provide conditioned air to the home, regardless of the current HVAC system. Their flexibility and comfort are ideal.
