Thanks to advancements in technology, you have a number of heating and cooling options available to you, including ductless HVAC systems which consist of an indoor unit mounted on a wall and an outdoor compressor. Also known as mini split systems, they have been around for a while, enjoyed by many American households looking for a versatile HVAC solution. Will you be the same?
Here are the pros and cons of ductless HVAC systems to help you decide:
- They are great for situations where window air conditioning units and baseboard heating are feasible options, such as during new constructions or additions.
- They require just a small hole in a wall to make way for pipes connecting indoor and outdoor units so they are less prone to air leaks and security issues.
- They boast a streamlined look, helping keep interior spaces from appearing cluttered.
- They are less audible than other HVAC options.
- They are energy-efficient, doing away with ducts where 25% or more of energy for heating and cooling are lost.
- They are more expensive than window or baseboard units.
- They need monthly maintenance to avoid high A/C repair costs.
