When you want to improve the temperature control in your home, but don’t have ductwork available, ductless mini splits are a smart choice. Such units are air conditioning systems that also can heat, all without the need for ducts.

These highly efficient systems from Texas Pride AC & Heating eliminate the stress of tearing out the walls for duct installation.

Maintaining Energy Efficiency

One of the biggest advantages of mini split indoor units is their energy efficiency. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating, or SEER, highlights the benefits of these units. SEER attempts to measure the energy required to provide cooling to the home, where higher numbers offer better performance.

• A ductless system can have a 30 SEER or higher.
• A whole-home AC system can have a 22 or 23 SEER.

When mini splits perform heating operations, they offer similar energy usage benefits. This lower energy use comes from their focus on moving heat instead of needing to generate it.

Delivering Cost Savings in Operation

You almost certainly will save money during the operation of ductless mini splits versus traditional HVAC systems. Over the lifespan of these units, you may see cost benefits in multiple areas.

• Improved energy efficiency results in lower monthly bills.
• Simpler designs reduce the chances of breakdowns, leading to fewer repairs.
• Regular maintenance tasks are easier and less intrusive, lowering the operational cost.

These units focus on heating and cooling zones in the home. This means you are not providing a controlled temperature environment in areas of the house that you don’t use often. The use of zones also reduces the cost of operation versus cooling and heating all rooms equally.

Improving Indoor Air Quality

When you install mini split systems, you receive better air quality versus traditional heating and cooling systems. The mini splits have filtration systems that are highly efficient in trapping particles. This reduces the number of allergens in the air in the room where the installation occurred.

Should you have problems with allergies while sleeping, for example, a mini-split unit could help in the bedroom. Its ability to thoroughly filter the air can be a major benefit for those who have respiratory issues.

Saving Money on Installation

When you don’t already have ductwork inside the home, the ductless mini splits simplify installation. Compared to digging into the walls to add ducts, which drives up installation costs, this system needs far less prep work.

These units are smaller than a traditional HVAC system, which further simplifies installation. You can install mini splits in older homes or in tight spaces where other options simply aren’t practical. If you have an HVAC system in the main part of the home, but you want to make a room addition, you may use a mini split in the new room to save money over adding ductwork. 

Some people choose to combine a mini split with some ductwork. They may place air handlers in a crawl space, add some ducts, and connect it all to a mini-split. Our pros have experience with all kinds of installation options, and we can help you figure out the best selection.
