Ductless Split System Or Mini Split System
Ductless, mini split-system air-conditioners (mini splits) have numerous potential applications in residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. The most common applications are in multifamily housing or as retrofit add-ons to houses with "non-ducted" heating systems, such as hydronic (hot water heat), radiant panels, and space heaters (wood, kerosene, propane). They can also be a good choice for room additions and small apartments, where extending or installing distribution ductwork (for a central air-conditioner or heating systems) is not feasible.
What are the advantages of installing ductless mini split over a central air system?
- They Offer Highly Flexible Solutions.
- They Save You Money
- They Improve Indoor Air Quality – Happy Breathing.
- They Are Quick and Easy to Install.
- Ductless Air Conditioning Lowers Your Carbon Footprint.
Different types of Ductless mini split systems
Choice of Ductless mini split system depends on four main factors mentioned below; Zones: Single Zone, Dual Zone, Tri Zone or Multi-zone Placement Location: Ceiling Cassette, Ceiling-Suspended, Concealed Duct, Wall Mounted Heat preference: Cooling Only or Heat Pumps Capacity: Available from 1 ton to 10 tons .
Advantages of Ductless Mini Split System
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 (which in turn is affected by how well the building is insulated). 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.
