What Is a Ductless Mini-Split?

Ductless air conditioners and heat pumps combine one outdoor unit with several indoor ones. Unlike central AC, which uses ductwork to transport cooled or heated air, these systems are mounted on an interior wall and control the room HVAC directly. The power and compression for these units is provided by the larger outdoor unit. Wires and refrigerant lines connect the indoor system to the outdoor unit. Unlike central AC units, individual mini-splits can be set independently to provide room-by-room comfort.

Though you often hear ‘heat pump’ used interchangeably with ‘mini-splits’, the two are not exactly the same. While there are ductless heat pump systems, there are also ducted ones. When it comes to installation costs and individual room comfort in Calgary, ductless mini-splits are a great choice.

The Benefits of Going Ductless in Strathmore and Calgary

When it comes to maintaining a comfortable indoor environment, especially in larger homes with multiple levels, choosing the right cooling system is paramount. Many homeowners find themselves grappling with the limitations of central air conditioning systems, which can struggle to evenly distribute cool air throughout the entire house. In such scenarios, a ductless mini-split AC system emerges as a game-changer, offering a range of benefits that go beyond traditional cooling methods:

• Lower Cooling Costs: If your home is multi-level or extremely large, a central AC system can struggle to provide top-notch comfort. Mini-split systems extend the footprint of your system while allowing you to modulate where and when you cool. No one in the spare room? Turn off the wall unit to prevent energy waste.
• Enhanced Flexibility: Is your bedroom too hot and your living room an icebox? Does your mother enjoy a crisp 68? Ductless mini-split systems can be adjusted on a room-by-room basis. This enables HVAC zoning at scale.
• Simple Installation: Easier to install than central systems, mini-split units can provide comfort at a lower price point. This simplifies the process of expanding your HVAC footprint. It also makes them a popular solution for heating or cooling homes in Calgary.
• Quieter Operation: Can't hear your television over the roar of your old air conditioner or furnace? Then, you might want to consider opting a ductless system. Mini splits are quieter, making them a great option for those who prefer a tranquil home.
