Whether you have an add on to your home that seems to be a little warmer than the rest of the house or you’re simply on the lookout for an efficient way to boost your home’s comfort, a mini-split system could be the answer.
What’s a mini-split system?
A mini-split system is a ductless form of heating and cooling that is has its focus on distinct rooms and spaces, not an entire home or building. Mini-split systems are more flexible and energy efficient than traditional central air systems and are easier to install as there is no ductwork needed. They pump air directly to wall or ceiling mounted air handling units that have individual wireless electronic temperature control systems.
Mini-split systems aren’t one-size-fits-all, nor are they all produced equally, or for the same size room. Comparable to common air conditioners, a mini-split system should be chosen to fit the area that it will be in. Doing so could mean more efficient production for you, which might also lead to savings on your regular energy expenses as well. They’re usually used for:
- Hot and/or cold rooms
- Additions/renovations
- Enclosed patios
- Homes with no room for ductwork
- Large, multi-zone living spaces

A quick primer
A mini-split system works by employing a process that only generates the amount of hot or cold air that you need to reach or maintain the temperature you choose. That being said, a properly sized system is still crucial to reap all of the efficiency benefits offered.
