Why Are Ductless HVAC Systems So Popular in Little River, SC?

Ductless mini-splits are systems that send refrigerant through flexible tubes that go through small holes in your walls. Usually, one outdoor unit can support up to about eight indoor units in different rooms in your home in Little River, SC. Here are a few reasons why ductless HVAC systems are becoming more popular than ever.

Flexibility

Because ductless mini-splits include a separate air handler in each room that needs conditioning, you can control them individually. For example, you can shut off the air handlers in the rooms where no one is, which will save great amounts of energy and money. It also means that if there are people in those rooms, then each of them will be able to customize the temperature individually.

Ease of Installation

Because mini-splits lack ducts, it generally takes installers far less time to do so than it would with systems that include ducts. However, it’s still wise to enlist the help of a professional rather than attempting a DIY installation. You can put the outdoor unit in an out-of-the-way place, and conceal the flexible tubes with shrubs or other plants. Many indoor units are relatively compact, which gives you some flexibility when it comes to where you install them.

Efficiency

Systems with ducts lose about 40% of their energy that escapes the ducts in one way or another. With the right kind of insulated tubes and good overall design, the ductless mini-split in your home will produce 2 fewer metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year.
