Atlanta Air Conditioning Installation: 4 Reasons to Consider the Ductless Mini-Split

A ductless mini-split is a type of HVAC system that, as its name implies, doesn’t require the ductwork used with traditional HVAC systems. The mini-split is an especially popular choice in new construction because it provides outstanding energy efficiency while eliminating the need for big, bulky ductwork.

Even if your Atlanta home is older, with existing ductwork, you may still want to consider installing a ductless mini-split system.

Top 4 Reasons to Install a Mini-Split

  1. Energy efficiency:  Ductless mini splits boast substantially higher SEERs than their conventional central air counterparts. SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, which is an estimate of cooling efficiency over the course of the cooling season. While SEER is not the only factor that determines the energy efficiency of an AC system, it is a valuable tool for comparing different systems.
  2. Indoor air quality:  HVAC ducts harbor dust, mold , pollen, dander, and other debris that has built up inside the home. As air blows through the ductwork, it stirs up the debris and circulates back into your living spaces. By bypassing the ductwork, ductless mini-split systems can improve your indoor air quality. This is a great benefit for people with allergies and respiratory conditions.
  3. Zone control:  Unlike a conventional cooling system, the mini-split allows you to create different zones in your home. The temperature in each zone can be controlled individually, so you can keep the rooms you’re using comfortable, while not wasting excessive cooling in rooms that aren’t being used.
  4. Complete heating and cooling: Many mini-splits also have heat pump capabilities and can provide warm air in the winter, as well as cool air in the summer.
