Ductless Mini-Splits – A Great Option for Hard To Heat Spaces

Are you struggling to find an efficient heating and cooling option for spaces in your home that don’t have existing ductwork? Whether it’s a chilly basement, an unseasonably warm garage, a detached workshop, or a new addition, ductless mini-split systems could be the perfect solution to your comfort woes.

At Central Heating Cooling Plumbing Electrical, we specialize in providing innovative solutions for your heating and cooling needs, and ductless mini-splits are among our most versatile and popular options. Let’s take a look at why they might be the perfect fit for your hard-to-heat spaces.

What are Ductless Mini-Splits?

Ductless mini-splits are highly efficient heating and cooling systems that operate without the need for extensive ductwork. These systems consist of an outdoor compressor/condenser and one or more indoor air-handling units, connected by a conduit. This design allows for flexible, zoned temperature control in various areas of your home or business. Mini-splits can  be used to heat and cool a single room or an entire home.

Benefits of Ductless Mini-Splits for Heating and Cooling

Flexibility for Non-Ducted Spaces

One of the primary advantages of ductless mini-splits is their flexibility. They are ideal for heating and cooling additions, basements, garages, and workshops – essentially any space where traditional ductwork is impractical or too costly to install.

Energy Efficiency

Ductless systems are extremely energy-efficient. They follow ENERGY STAR guidelines, which means they use less energy to heat and cool your space, leading to lower utility bills.

Individualized Comfort

With the ability to control temperatures in individual rooms, a design called zoning, mini-splits ensure that you can enjoy personalized comfort throughout your space.

Ease of Installation

Installing a ductless mini-split system is less disruptive and can often be completed in a day, depending on the number of units being installed. This is typically a fraction of the time required for installing ductwork and a traditional HVAC system.

Improved Air Quality

Some models have multi-stage filtration that can drastically reduce dust, bacteria, pollen, allergens, and other particulates in the air. In addition, without air ducts there is no place for dust to accumulate over time.

Quiet Operation

Modern ductless mini-split systems are known for their whisper-quiet operation, which can make them less intrusive than traditional heating and cooling systems.

Applications in Hard-to-Heat Spaces

Basements

Being lower than the rest of the house, basements often have uneven temperatures. A mini-split can provide efficient warmth in the winter and a cool retreat during hot summer days.

Garages

Garages are often not nearly as well insulated as the rest of the house. For those who use garages as workshops or recreational spaces, a ductless system can turn it into a year-round usable space.

Workshops

Keep your workshop comfortable without the need to extend your home’s ductwork or relying on potentially unsafe portable heating systems. A mini-split is a, safe, cost-effective and efficient solution.

New Additions

When adding a new room to your home such as a three-season porch, a ductless mini-split can be a simpler and more efficient option than expanding your current HVAC system, while also allowing for more architectural flexibility.
