What Is A Ductless Mini-Split System for Heating?

Traditional whole-home heating systems use ductwork to circulate air throughout your home. For homes without ductwork or rooms that are challenging to heat or cool, consider a ductless heating system.

These systems are a perfect solution for rooms that need additional heating and cooling, room additions and remodeling. An advantage of mini splits is that you can control the temperature in the rooms they’re mounted independently of other rooms in your home. This gives you flexibility in heating or cooling areas in your home that are either always too hot or too cold.

Another benefit, you’ll save energy as mini split systems don’t have ductwork which can account up to 30% in air duct losses associated with traditional forced air heating and cooling systems.
