Ductless and Uncomfortable? Ductless Mini splits are the Answer!
Do you have a room that doesn’t get enough airflow to keep it comfortable? Perhaps you have a home without duct work or have a room addition where extending the duct work is not feasible? Adding duct work is a major project and very expensive so mini-splits could be the energy efficient solution to your problem. Ductless Mini splits have two primary components: an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor handling unit. A conduit which contains the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing and a condensate drain links the outdoor and indoor units.
Advantages of ductless mini splits:
- Small size allows zoning for heating and cooling individual rooms, some models have multiple units for different zones
- Installation of mini-splits is often easier than other types of space conditioning units
- Loss of energy is minimal because there are no ducts which can lose up to 30% of the air flow
- Interior design flexibility allows homeowners to suspend from a ceiling, mount to a wall or even be free standing
- Most indoor units have profiles of about seven inches deep and usually come with sleek, high-tech-looking jackets. Many also offer a remote control
Mini splits are priced on their ton size, it’s important to have a qualified Rheem Pro Partner installer correctly calculate the size and location for each indoor unit to maximize comfort and efficiency.
