As a homeowner, you are probably already familiar with the various tasks necessary to maintain and improve your investment. From replacing shutters to shampooing your carpet, these updates are essential for your home’s appeal and value. Unfortunately, you may not be placing enough emphasis on your home’s heating & air conditioning system. To ensure your system is energy efficient and equitable, consider a.
Energy Efficient
A traditional heating and air system utilizes ductwork to move conditioned air into your home. Unfortunately, heated and cooled air can escape the ductwork, increasing the amount of energy your home needs to heat and cool your home. Thankfully, a mini-split system does not require ductwork of any kind, so there is less risk of lost energy. A ductless mini-split system can reduce the cost of heating & air conditioning in Plymouth, MN, where summers can be hot and humid, by 30 percent.
Improved Air Quality
Of course, there are other benefits to a mini-split system. Since a Plymouth, MN AC repair and installation expert like Marsh Heating & Air Conditioning Co., Inc. installs the system without ductwork, you will also improve your home’s indoor air quality. While traditional systems pull air from outdoors and channel it through the ductwork and into a home, the ductwork is often a common area for trapped dust, dirt, and dander. Without the ductwork, you reduce the amount of allergens floating in your home’s air.
Ultimate Comfort
Traditional heating and cooling systems utilize an outdoor unit and one or two separate thermostats. While sufficient, such a system can make it difficult to manage temperatures in each room of your house. A mini-split system is a better alternative since many homeowners enjoy the overall comfort the system provides. Each room, or “zone,” offers its own wall-mounted unit to control the temperature settings. This allows you to set different temperatures in different zones of your home. In turn, this reduces waste while increasing thermal comfort in frequently-used rooms.
If energy efficiency, value, improved air quality, and your family’s comfort are what you are after, then a ductless mini-split installation is the kind of smart investment you need to make.
