It’s normal for people to immediately think of traditional air conditoners when researching replacement systems or seeking to improve indoor comfort, but it’s important not to forget about different options such as a mini-split system.
Mini-split systems are a ductless form of heating and cooling. Instead of targeting the entire house, it works to heat or cool particular spaces or rooms within the home. It provides more targeted cooling or heating and saves on energy costs by focusing on the areas that need it. The indoor unit is attached to the ceiling or wall and the cooled refrigerant is pumped in via refrigerant lines that run to the outdoor unit.
You may notice that specific areas of your home are more difficult to cool or perhaps you have built additions or enclosed rooms to your space that don’t include ductwork. That’s where the experts at Pardee Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning come in. We can help you find the issue(s) and recommend the best solution. These are some of the most popular reasons homeowners consider mini-split systems for maintaining comfort in Charleston:
- Hot and Cold Rooms
- Unoccupied Rooms
- Additions/Renovations
- Enclosed Patios
- Homes Without Space for Ductwork
- Larger, Multi-Zone Living Spaces
Many mini-split systems come with multiple indoor air-handling units, providing you with flexibility for zoning or cooling individual rooms. If you use more than one indoor unit, they are able to connect to the single outdoor unit.
Not only can mini-split systems support efficiency and keep you comfortable within your home, but there are cost benefits as well. According to ENERGY STAR, mini-split systems can lower cooling costs by 30 percent compared to conventional room air conditioners.
