No Ductwork, How Does a Mini Split Work?

27 Jan

Be advised that a mini split air conditioner costs a significant amount of money upfront in the initial purchase, but it will save you thousands of dollars in the long run. You will also have to pay for the cost of installation which is always done by trained technicians. Any homeowner who has a central air conditioning unit would tell you just how expensive ductwork is, and not only that, how central AC units waste energy. The duct can sometimes have leaks that cause distribution loss during the distribution of air. This is not a problem; however, with the mini split units because air is often carried in pipes instead of ductwork. The refrigerant is piped directly to individual air handling units in each zone or room, making the process of installation very easy and less time consuming. Worth mentioning is the fact that while mini split units are used primarily for cooling homes, there are some units which are designed for both heating and cooling functionalities.
