Shopping for a new HVAC system can feel overwhelming when you consider how many options are available today. One of the most popular is a ductless HVAC system. Also known as mini-splits, you’ve probably seen these units mounted high on walls in both residential and commercial settings. Here are three benefits these systems offer to homeowners in Clinton, MS:
Versatility
Conventional central air conditioners, heat pumps and furnaces deliver cooled or heated air through a network of ducts. Conversely, ductless HVAC systems deliver that air directly into the living spaces where you install them. A ductless mini-split includes a small outdoor unit and one or more indoor units, depending on your specific setup.
You can install a single indoor unit to cool or heat a new home addition, converted garage or finished basement. Ductless HVAC systems are more cost-effective than window air conditioners or space heaters. You can also install more than one indoor unit in your home to create multiple temperature zones, which helps increase energy efficiency.
Savings
Ductless HVAC systems operate on less power than conventional air conditioning and heating systems. When you use multiple indoor units to create zones in your home, you’ll avoid cooling or heating empty rooms. As a result, you’ll save money on energy bills.
Homeowners in Clinton, MS, who install a ductless mini-split might also be eligible for tax credits or utility rebates. Modern Air can help you determine your eligibility.
Environmental Friendliness
HVAC systems that consume less energy are more environmentally friendly. Ductless mini-splits follow Energy Star guidelines, which makes them even more energy-efficient because they exceed the minimum standards set by the federal government. These systems also use R410-A refrigerant. R-410A has zero-ozone depletion potential compared to the now banned R-22 refrigerant.
A ductless HVAC system installation is quick and easy. A service technician can have yours running in as little as a few hours. Contact Modern Air to learn more.
