How Do Ductless AC & Heating Services Work?
A ductless mini split is a type of heat pump. It doesn’t burn any kind of fuel to create heat, and only requires electricity to operate. Instead of burning fuel, a ductless mini split evaporates and condenses refrigerant to move heat from one place to another. Every ductless mini split is comprised of at least two units, an inside unit and an outside unit. In some cases, however, multiple indoor units can be connected to a single outside unit. The indoor unit is installed inside the room it is going to condition, either on the wall or ceiling. The outdoor unit is installed outside the house. The conduit that connects the two units contains power and refrigerant lines.
When the heat is turned on, the outdoor unit evaporates refrigerant to absorb thermal energy from the surrounding air. It then sends the refrigerant gas, which is carrying the thermal energy, down the refrigerant line to the indoor unit. The indoor unit then condenses the refrigerant back into a liquid, releasing the thermal energy to heat the room. As you may have guessed, a ductless mini split only conditions the room in which it is installed. Multiple rooms will require multiple blowers.
What Are the Advantages of Ductless Mini Split Systems?
So, why would you want to use a ductless mini split system over the other heating options on the market for your home? Well, for one thing a ductless mini split isn’t just a heater. Ductless systems are capable of acting as both heaters and air conditioners, saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars on buying a separate system. They accomplish this by reversing the flow of the refrigerant through the system, causing the indoor unit to siphon heat from inside the room and vent it outside.
Ductless systems are also much more energy efficient than central forced air systems. The average forced air system loses around 30% of its output to things like duct leaks. Ductless mini splits eschew ducts in favor of delivering their output directly to the destination, meaning they don’t waste nearly as much energy.
Finally, ductless mini splits offer a level of control that centralized systems cannot hope to match. Each ductless mini split is installed with its own thermostat, allowing a different temperature to be set for each room. No more wasting energy and money conditioning the whole house when most of the rooms are unoccupied. With ductless mini split systems, you can choose precisely which rooms to heat or cool.
