If you’re looking for an innovative way to combat the high temperatures in High Point, Plumbing & Air Service Co. has the solution for you. In many situations where traditional central air conditioner systems aren’t feasible, Ductless, mini-split system air conditioners (also known as mini-splits) are fantastic alternatives for keeping your home cool and comfortable.

How Do Mini-Splits Work?

You may have heard of mini-splits before, but did you know that they’re constantly growing in popularity? In fact, experts expect use of these systems to increase at an average of 20% per year, and they’ve already experienced market growth of 221%! Compelling statistics aside, you may be wondering how exactly mini-splits work. Mini-split systems are made up of two core components: an indoor air handling unit and an outdoor condenser or compressor. Additionally, these systems also have a conduit which holds things like suction tubing, refrigerant tubing, power cables, a condensate drain, and acts as a link between the indoor and outdoor components.

What Are the Benefits of Ductless Mini-Splits?

There are so many benefits to installing a ductless mini-split in your home, including the following. Highly efficient and environmentally friendly. These machines are incredibly energy efficient and are therefore very environmentally friendly. You can also choose which rooms are cooled at which times, so if you aren’t using a room you can turn off the system in that section of the house, further saving energy. They can heat and cool. These nifty little systems can heat and cool your home— just like a heat pump. They remove humidity from the air. Another bonus— especially for North Carolina residents— is the mini-split’s ability to remove excess humidity from the air in your house when set to air conditioning mode. These systems are scalable. This means that you’re able to heat and cool as many or as few rooms in your home as want. Whether you only need temperature control in one room or the whole house, mini-splits have got you covered. No need to install ductwork. As the name suggests, these ductless systems work without air ducts. This is great for additions to your home, multi-family units, or other scenarios where installing ducts just isn’t feasible. Ductless systems are simply more efficient. When comparing traditional heating or cooling systems with mini-splits, the results speak for themselves: mini-splits are a lot more efficient than systems that rely on air ducts.
