Mini-split heat pumps have increased in popularity due to their size and versatile heating and cooling functions. Homeowners in smaller houses or condos appreciate their small size, easy installation, and other benefits.
Below, we’ll discuss a few reasons why installing a mini-split heat pump can significantly improve your home’s heating system. Keep reading to learn more.
Energy Efficient
The cost of heating your home can add up over time, especially during cold and wet winters. However, unlike standard HVAC systems, mini-split heat pumps use significantly less energy while ensuring even heat distribution throughout your house.
Instead of filtering through ductwork, the air is directly delivered to different spots in the home, which greatly minimizes energy loss and increases the unit’s overall efficiency. If you’ve been looking to reduce your utility bill, switching to a mini-split heating system can help you save big.
Noise Control
Many HVAC systems can be quite noisy, which can be disruptive when you want to relax at home or need to focus on a project. Mini-splits, on the other hand, are generally quiet units.
For example, the Trane XV19 Heat Pump we provide and install has a 43 to 57 dBA noise level, roughly equivalent to a silent library.
Zoned Heating and Cooling Function
To operate a mini-split, select the number of zones in your home you want to heat or cool down. If you have a larger space, you can install multiple units to ensure even air distribution in each room.
A single-unit set-up is preferable for homeowners whose primary heating system is having trouble reaching one particular zone or for other spaces like garages.
Simple Installation
Unlike standard furnaces, mini split heat pumps are ductless, making them very simple to install. This is particularly beneficial for homeowners building additions—they won’t need to install any extra ductwork, which can significantly increase the expense of renovations.
Placement is fairly limited when working with duct heating, but there’s more flexibility for installing a mini-split, both inside and outdoors.
If you’re installing this heater outside, it can be placed on your rooftop, on the ground, or mounted to a secure wall. Indoors, these units are generally installed high up on a wall.
Better Air Quality
The air quality in your home is very important as you breathe it in every day. Traditional HVAC ducts require extensive maintenance, including professional cleaning services, to ensure good-quality indoor air.
However, ductless systems like mini-splits provide multi-stage filtration that significantly reduces contaminants like dust, dirt, pollen, and bacteria, providing a much more breathable space for homeowners with allergies and respiratory issues.
