Is your aging or inefficient air conditioning system ready to be replaced? Before you install the same old unit, consider that cooling system technologies have come a long way. While many people still think of traditional window style AC units as the norm, the newer option of a ductless mini-split system not only provides great cooling and warming comfort but can save you money, too.<\/p>\n

Benefits of Ductless Mini-Splits for Your Westwood, MA Home<\/h2>\n

Comprised of a small outdoor compressor\/condenser and an indoor air handler, ductless mini-split systems work similar to central air systems but on a smaller, more defined scale.<\/p>\n

Part of the beauty of a ductless mini-split system is right in the name of the product itself\u2013it\u2019s ductless! That means they don\u2019t require the expansive ductwork used in traditional central air configurations. The mini-split is installed to the wall in the room of your choice, and, in some cases, multiple head units are dispersed throughout the home for increased comfort and efficiency.<\/p>\n

Speaking of efficiency, ductless mini-split systems are up to 30% more efficient than central or window units, which means they cool (or heat) your home faster and keep it that way. Other benefits include:<\/p>\n

Ductless mini-splits cool or heat specific areas of your home at specific times, allowing you to control costs as well as temperature.

Is a Ductless Mini-Split System Right for Me?<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re unsure whether a ductless mini-split system is the right choice for you over more traditional options, consider these points:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Upfront Cost<\/i><\/h4>\n <\/div>\n
\n
<\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, it can cost up to 30% less to install a central air system than it does a ductless one. However, as we\u2019ll talk about in a moment, ductless mini-splits tend to cost less to operate in the long run. They also often require less maintenance and repair, saving you more money over the life span of your unit.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n

Long-Term Efficiency<\/i><\/h4>\n <\/div>\n
\n
<\/p>\n

Central air conditioning units can last an average of 12 to 15 years; ductless mini-splits can run up to 20 years. That means they tend to be the more efficient and cost-effective option.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n

No Leaks<\/i><\/h4>\n <\/div>\n
\n
<\/p>\n

Did you know that leaky ductwork is responsible for about 30% air loss? That\u2019s a huge waste of money, not to mention energy. With no duct damage or air leaks to worry about, ductless systems are a low-maintenance homeowner\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n

Why Professional Installation Is a Must<\/h2>\n

DIY mini-split installation is possible but not recommended. First of all, there are several systems to choose from \u2013 single-zone, dual-zone, and multi-zone. A trained technician can help you determine which one is the best choice for your home\u2019s needs. Secondly, a mini-split system requires refrigerant lines to connect the units and electrical wires to power them. Both of these should be handled by a professional who knows how to install them properly. Finally, even the DIY kits recommend having your finished work reviewed by a professional to ensure everything is safely connected.<\/p>\n

Installing a ductless mini-split system can be a tough and potentially dangerous job. Trust it to <\/strong>the professionals at Suburban HVAC<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions About Ductless Mini-Split Installation<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Can it be installed in a home with existing ductwork?<\/i><\/h4>\n <\/div>\n
\n
<\/p>\n

Yes. It will mean a more involved installation process since the existing air ducts will need to be removed, but the new system won\u2019t cause much disruption. Air handlers require only small holes in the wall and are connected to an outdoor compressor via small refrigerant lines that are snaked through the walls of most homes very easily.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n

Are ductless mini-splits loud?<\/i><\/h4>\n <\/div>\n
