Chandler Ductless Mini-Split Installation
If you’re unfamiliar with ductless mini-splits, it’s worth learning about them. These systems feature a single outdoor condenser unit paired with individual air handlers in each room of your home. You can think of them as a hybrid of central AC and window units, combining their best aspects. For example, with a ductless mini-split installation, you gain the benefit of zoned cooling. Each air handler has its own thermostat and controls, allowing everyone in your home to customize their comfort without compromises. Additionally, you can turn off air handlers in unoccupied rooms to reduce cooling costs.
Ductless mini-splits offer a significant advantage in efficiency. The average mini-split boasts a higher SEER rating than a comparable central AC. The absence of ductwork also enhances efficiency. The Department of Energy states that ducted ACs can waste up to 30% of their consumed energy due to losses in the ductwork. This waste occurs when air leaks allow conditioned air to escape, and poorly insulated ducts experience convective losses.
Best of all, you can choose a ductless mini-split that cools all or part of your home. Depending on the system, a mini-split supports numerous indoor air handlers and comes in multiple system capacities, up to 5-ton units. We can install a mini-split reasonably quickly. Our technicians mount each air handler on the wall and connect it to the central outdoor unit. Each air handler needs a small bundle of refrigerant, power, and drainage lines, which limits damage to your home, as those lines require little more than a three-inch hole through each wall.
