Cleaning Your HVAC System

Posted on: 27 May 2022

Have you been considering a ductless mini-split HVAC system for your home due to a room that is either too hot or cold? If so, it will help to know more about this way to supplement your existing heating and cooling system.

Dual System Design

What makes a ductless mini-split system so appealing to homeowners is that it provides both heating and cooling to a room. This is because the device works like a heat pump and can serve two purposes. You can definitely save money by not getting two systems to handle the heating and cooling separately. It will be a year-round solution to your heating and cooling needs.

Energy Efficiency

One of the things to remember about a mini-split HVAC system is that it is going to be an energy-efficient way to heat or cool a specific room. That is because you can turn the system on when you are using the room and turn it off when you're not. You don't have the same concerns about a central heating and cooling system where air is traveling to every vent no matter what room you are using. The ability to target a specific room when you are using it makes it more energy efficient than other HVAC options. 

In addition, more modern mini-split HVAC systems are equipped with sensors that can detect if someone is in the room or not. This means that you are not wasting energy heating or cooling a room with nobody in it. 

Airflow

The design of the mini-split HVAC system allows you to direct where the airflow is going. If you have a couch or bed in a room where you are located most of the time, you can point that air directly to the spot where you are located. This is not possible with other HVAC systems that will heat or cool the entire room to spread the air out evenly. 

Scalability

You may not know that a ductless mini-split system is scalable. The outdoor unit that is used can service several indoor heads. If you have any plans to build an addition to your home and will have more heating and cooling needs, know that the mini-split system can definitely help heat and cool those rooms as well with the same outdoor compressor. 

Placement

Mini-split HVAC systems do not need to be placed in a window. You are actually able to place them in the walls, floors, or ceilings. It really depends on what works best for your room and your needs, since there is a lot of versatility when it comes to where the unit can go.
