If you need a new air conditioning solution for your Winfield, WV, home, consider a ductless mini-split. They have numerous advantages compared to traditional central ducted AC systems. Here are four reasons to invest in ductless air conditioning:
High Energy Efficiency
One of the most significant advantages of ductless AC systems is their energy efficiency. The majority of mini-splits have SEER ratings of 20 or higher. That makes them over 30% more efficient than the average comparably sized ducted central air conditioner.
It’s also worth noting that operating without ductwork adds to the relative efficiency of a mini-split. As ductwork ages, it tends to develop air leaks that can reduce the efficiency of a ducted AC system. With no ductwork involved, mini-splits never suffer such energy losses.
Zoned Cooling
Ductless mini-splits utilize individual air handlers in each room of your home, and each of the air handlers has its own controls and thermostat. That turns each room into its own cooling zone for the ultimate in comfort customization.
Quiet Operation
Ductless mini-split air handlers produce very little noise during operation. On average, you can expect one to emit about 32 dB of noise. That’s barely above a whisper, making mini-splits one of the quietest cooling options available.
Perfect for Additions and Remodels
Finally, ductless mini-splits are a perfect AC solution for home additions and remodeling projects. For example, you can install one to operate alongside an existing central AC system to cool a newly finished space. Or you can install one to supplement cooling in remodeled spaces that have existing connections to your ducted air conditioner.
