DUCTLESS SPLIT AIR CONDITIONING & HEATING

QUIET, EFFICIENT DUCTLESS AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS

If you’re in the market for a new heating or air conditioning system, consider a ductless split system. Ductless split air conditioners, also called mini-splits, can be a great alternative to conventional central air systems, offering many of the same features but with added benefits.

If you have any questions about this home heating and cooling option, call us today.

WHAT IS A DUCTLESS MINI SPLIT SYSTEM?

Ductless mini-split air conditioners are a type of heating and cooling system that doesn't need any ducts to condition the air. For this reason, ductless units can be the best solution for home add-ons, renovations and other areas that don't have existing ductwork.

Like central systems, mini splits have two main components: an outdoor compressor/condenser, and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units.

We are proud to offer the Mitsubishi Electric wall-mounted ductless split systems. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are among the highest quality, most energy-efficient ductless split systems available, with efficiency ratings of up to 33 SEER. At Scott Comfort Systems we can help you get the right system that fits your needs.

ADVANTAGES OF MINI-SPLIT AC SYSTEMS

The main advantages of mini-splits are their small size and flexibility for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms. Many models can have as many as four indoor air handling units (for four zones or rooms) connected to one outdoor unit. The number depends on how much heating or cooling is required for the building or each zone. Each of the zones will have its own thermostat, so you only need to condition that space when it is occupied, saving energy and money.

Since mini splits have no ducts, they avoid the energy losses associated with ductwork of central forced air systems. Duct losses can account for more than 30% of energy consumption for space conditioning, especially if the ducts are in an unconditioned space such as an attic.

With wireless controls connected to your Mitsubishi Electric heating and cooling system, control is at the tip of your tongue or finger. You can control temperature from easy-to-use apps on just about any smartphone or tablet, even when you're away from home. Voice control is also available.

Split-systems can also help to keep your home safer because there is only a small hole in the wall. Through-the-wall and window mounted room air-conditioners can provide an easy entrance for intruders.
