If you have an older HVAC system, it may be time to upgrade to a newer model. But upgrading doesn\u2019t have to mean you invest in the exact team type of system you\u2019ve always had. Technology has grown by leaps and bounds, and there are unique heating and cooling systems that offer phenomenal benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of these is the ductless mini split. You can keep reading for more about why ductless mini splits in Batavia, OH<\/a> are a great whole-house heating and cooling solution. Then give our team a call when you\u2019re ready to schedule an in-home assessment and learn more about how one of the systems would be set up inside your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How a Ductless Mini Split Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A ductless mini split is different from other HVAC systems because there are individual units installed throughout your home in place of a single central unit. Each individual unit has its own air filter<\/a> and cycles air from the room through the system, blowing it back out to either heat or cool your home based on the temperature settings you have selected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can set the temperatures the same across all of your units for whole-house heating and cooling, or you can individualize your temperature settings. Just keep doors closed to maintain separate zones and each ductless mini splits can heat or cool areas of your home based on individual preferences.  Learn more about how ductless HVAC systems compare to traditional ones<\/a> to help decide if this zoning flexibility is right for your household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ductless Mini Split for Heating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we head into the winter season, heating may be a big concern on your mind. Is a ductless mini split powerful enough to heat your home on the coldest days of winter? It really depends on the type of system you invest in. If you choose a cold-weather model, the system will have a little more heating power and can meet your heating expectations.  For guidance on whether your current heater can keep up or needs replacing, check out when repairing your heater is no longer worth it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you go with a basic model then it may not have the heating power you expect. Making the investment in the correct type of mini split upfront will save you from having to make other heating accommodations. Of course, you could also install a small furnace alongside your mini split if you do want an added boost for heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mini split systems are also great in terms of energy efficiency. For heating in particular, you stand to save a significant amount of money because of the way a mini split system operates. Instead of having to create heat as a furnace does, a mini split instead transfers heat from outside your home inside to raise the temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus the elimination of attached ductwork means that 100% of the air either heated or cooled blows directly into your home. Discover more benefits of upgrading your HVAC before winter<\/a> to get the most out of your comfort investment this season. This boosts energy savings even more since none of the air is getting trapped in ductwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also enjoy better overall indoor air quality since the air in each individual room gets filtered. Just be sure to clean out the filters regularly so they don’t get clogged. The same goes for the condensate drain line that helps to filter humidity out of the air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
