Common Questions About Mini-Splits
Understanding How Ductless Systems Work
Where are mini-splits most useful in a home?
Mini-splits are ideal for spaces that are too hot or too cold, such as garages, sunrooms, upstairs bedrooms, finished attics, or additions. They also work well in older homes that lack ductwork.
Can a mini-split heat and cool?
Yes. Most modern mini-splits operate as heat pumps, providing efficient heating in winter and cooling in summer.
Are mini-splits more efficient than window units?
They typically use far less energy than window AC units and offer stronger performance, quieter operation, and better temperature control.
How long does installation take?
Most mini-split installations can be completed in a single day, depending on the number of indoor units and placement needs.
Do mini-splits require a lot of maintenance?
Maintenance is simple but important. Cleaning the filters regularly and scheduling a yearly tune-up keeps the system running smoothly.
