It’s common for people to immediately think of traditional air conditoners when shopping for replacement systems or wanting to improve indoor comfort, but it’s important not to forget about other options such as a mini-split system.
Mini-split systems are a ductless form of heating and cooling. Instead of concentrating on the entire house, it works to heat or cool specific spaces or rooms within the home. It allows for more targeted cooling or heating and saves on energy costs by focusing on the rooms and space that need it. The indoor unit is mounted to the ceiling or wall and the cooled refrigerant is pumped in via refrigerant lines that connect to the outdoor unit.
You may notice that certain 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 professionals at Service Experts come in. We can help you recognize the issue(s) and recommend the best solution. These are some of the typical reasons homeowners consider mini-split systems for maintaining comfort in Salt Lake City:
- 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 additional solutions for zoning or cooling individual rooms. If you install more than one indoor unit, they will all be able to connect to the one outdoor unit.
Not only can mini-split systems help with efficiency and keep you comfortable in your living space, 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.
