An AC Solution for a Home With No Ductwork
If you live in a home without ductwork, you know that air conditioning can be a challenge. Traditional AC systems require ducts to distribute cooled air throughout the house. However, window air conditioners are less efficient. They can’t effectively cool more than one or two small rooms. Plus, they’re cumbersome, and they provide an entry point for unwanted intruders. Fortunately, there’s another solution for cooling a home with no ductwork. It’s a mini-split air conditioning system.
What Is a Mini-Split Air Conditioner?
A ductless air conditioner, also called a mini-split, is an efficient and effective way to cool your home without the need for ductwork. Unlike central air conditioners, which require a network of ducts to distribute cool air throughout your home, mini-splits have individual units installed in each room or zone that you want to cool.
How Mini-Split Air Conditioners Work
Mini-split air conditioners consist of two main components: a single outdoor compressor/condenser unit and one or more indoor air handlers. Each indoor unit gets connected to the outdoor unit by a small refrigerant line. The outdoor compressor unit pumps refrigerant through the lines to the indoor air handlers. Each air handler then circulates cooled and dehumidified air through the room or space, lowering the temperature and improving the air quality. Excess heat and humidity get vented outside, so you can enjoy comfortable indoor temperatures.
Benefits of Mini-Split Air Conditioners
Increased Energy Efficiency
Because there is no need to cool unused rooms or spaces, mini-splits are more energy-efficient than central air conditioners. This not only saves you money on your energy bills but also reduces your home’s carbon footprint.
Enhanced Temperature Control
With a mini-split system, you can customize the temperature in each room or space by installing multiple indoor units that operate independently of each other. So, you can keep your living room cool while letting your bedroom warm up a bit.
Better Air Quality
In addition to cooling your home, mini-split systems also improve indoor air quality by circulating fresh, filtered air and removing excess humidity from it. This can help alleviate allergy symptoms and create a more comfortable environment overall.
