One of the biggest advantages of having a ductless cooling system—also referred to as a ductless mini-split—installed rather than a traditional central system is that you don’t have to worry about ducts. There are many smaller and/or older homes that lack ductwork all together. Installing ducts can be a pain, as it is both expensive and inconvenient.

However, ductless systems give you the versatility that a ducted system cannot. Convenient installation is only one benefit of these units. We’ve listed a few more great benefits below that could sway you towards choosing ductless for your next home comfort installation.

Versatility

Central air conditioners and traditional heat pumps both force conditioned air through ductwork to cool an entire home at one time. This is a great option for many homes, but not all of them. A ductless cooling system delivers air directly into different zones within your home. This enables you to accommodate as many cooling preferences as needed.

Affordability

Energy costs have been on a steady rise over the last decade. Ductless systems rely on much less power than traditional central AC unties though. They also operate much more efficiently because of their zoning capabilities. This means you don’t have to cool rooms that are unoccupied, and you don’t have to make your air conditioner work too hard. This makes ductless systems more affordable to run month-to-moth than conventional AC units.

Better Indoor Air Quality

Quite often, your indoor air can actually be unhealthier than outdoor air. This is especially true during this time of the year. The ducts included with traditional HVAC systems make this even more complicated. If ductwork is damaged, then allergens and harmful contaminants can be leaked into your home. Ductless systems eliminate this risk completely.
