Depending on your needs as a homeowner, you may do well to invest in a mini-split AC in San Tan Valley, AZ. Let’s say you had a sunroom built recently or want a garage or tool shed to have cool air. Installing a mini-split for that space may be better than adding ductwork.
Though the air handlers of mini-splits can only cool one room, you can install up to eight of them with a single compressor, making whole-house cooling a reality. Many people constructing a home opt for this route, as do those who own older homes that won’t support ductwork.
Why Purchase a Mini-Split AC
Mini-splits are, in essence, heat pumps without the ducts. You get the same three components: a compressor outside to release hot air when in cooling mode, an air handler inside to draw that hot air, and a refrigerant line between the two to make heat transfer possible.
The refrigerant line isn’t so wide; it just needs a three-inch hole to pass into your room and connect to the air handler. If you go ductless, you eliminate a lot of hassle from the very start.
Installing these units doesn’t take much time, and you have the flexibility of where to place an air handler and compressor.
If you buy a mini-split, you’ll get these benefits:
- Energy-saving performance
- Possibly up to 30 years of operation
- Multi-zone cooling
- Features like directional airflow
To get the most out of your system, you would need to have a professional perform a tune-up at least once a year. But all things considered, 30 years is twice the average lifespan of a ducted heat pump. Besides, mini-splits don’t waste energy like central air; there are no ducts to seep out your cool air.
Multi-zone cooling becomes possible because each air handler has a thermostat. If you use mini-splits throughout the home, this is an excellent perk since we all know how different people have different ideas about a comfortable temperature. And you can always access the thermostat settings wirelessly as well.
