Whether you add a sunroom, family room or other space to your house, being comfy in your new room throughout the year is important. However, they can make a unique situation for heating and cooling. This is because installing ductwork is pricey. And that your heating and cooling system may not be able to handle the higher load, because it was sized without taking the addition into consideration.
One of the most affordable options is to get a mini-split. This system provides energy-efficient heating and cooling, with no ductwork needed. Discover more about mini-splits and how getting one for your addition can be a good solution.
A ductless mini-split, since they’re much like ducted heat pumps that have been used in southern climates for decades.
Heat pumps are very energy efficient since they transfer heat to make your space comfier. In fact, many have achieved ENERGY STAR® certification, which may make you eligible for added rebates and lower your heating and cooling costs for many years.
Another unique feature involves zoned heating and cooling. Since each room usually has an individual indoor unit, you can choose your preferred temperature from room to room. As an instance, a mini-split AC is particularly useful if you have a room with precise temperature needs, including a home gym.
Installing a mini-split system is worth it for spaces that lack ductwork. Here are several reasons why it’s smarter than installing ductwork and leaning on your current heating and cooling system.
Like regular systems, mini-splits are available in several sizes based on the square footage they’ll be heating and cooling. Here are three of the most regularly installed sizes:
