Every homeowner is always looking for more efficient methods for heating and cooling their home. One way to do so is with ductless mini-split systems. Ductless mini-split air conditioning runs on electricity rather than natural gas like some other systems use. This system is also best suited for specific types of homes, which is why it is essential to know whether or not your home can benefit from a ductless mini-split system. Here are four situations where ductless mini-split air conditioning may be right for you. 

Having the Right Amount of Space

Homes that are best suited for mini-split systems encompass around 1,000 square feet of space or less. Bigger homes are not as ideal because the system won’t efficiently heat or cool the large amounts of space that are available. If you’re still unsure of whether your home is suited for mini-split systems or not, it’s best to consult with HVAC maintenance experts who can advise you on your situation. After fully informing yourself of your options, you can then make the decision that works best for you.   

Adding a New Room

Those worried that their house can’t accommodate mini-split systems shouldn’t fret. If you live in a larger home or one that has a forced-air HVAC system, you can still implement a mini-split system if you make a new addition to your house. Adding a new room to your home also allows you to install a mini-split system just for that room. This can be done without having to adjust your current system or make any modifications to it. 

Specific Types of Rooms

If you feel that a specific room in your home requires additional cooling or heating, mini-split systems can get the job done for you. Ductless mini-split systems are ideal for shaded rooms that get too cold from lack of sunlight, or even rooms that get too much sunlight and warm up very quickly. For either instance, the mini-split system can adapt and provide an adequate temperature balance. 

Checking Your Home’s Insulation

Having a large amount of insulation can help mini-split systems and other HVAC systems work more efficiently. Homes that have poor insulation are not energy-efficient and have HVAC systems that work harder than necessary to make up the difference. This leads to higher utility bills and increased wear and tear on your HVAC system, resulting in costly AC repair. Before thinking about the type of HVAC system that you want, improve your home’s insulation to see the difference that it makes.
