Many homeowners have a space they use for hobbies or exercise that is not connected to their house’s HVAC system. Mini-split systems offer an efficient way to heat and cool these areas, whether in a remodeled basement, attic, or even a garden shed.
What Are Ductless Mini-Split Systems?
Ductless mini-split systems are heat pumps that work to both heat and cool an area. Each space where you want climate control will have an indoor air handler unit that can be mounted on the wall, floor, or even ceiling. The indoor air handler is connected to an outdoor condenser unit via piping. These systems are powered solely by electricity.
Zone Temperature Control
A ductless mini-split unit comes with a remote control that allows you to set the space’s desired temperature. This setup can save money when you convert an attic or basement into a home gym or a workshop. When not in use, you can turn the heating and cooling off. For an outbuilding, mini-splits provide climate control independent from any other heating or cooling system in your home.
Non-Invasive Installation Process
One of the most significant reasons ductless mini-splits are so popular in home renovations is that they are easy to install. With a traditional heating or cooling system, ducting must be installed behind the walls and floors.
Extending ductwork to include a remodeled basement or attic can be cost-prohibitive, and including an outbuilding in your home’s forced air system is impractical. When a professional installs a mini-split, they only need to drill a small hole in an exterior wall to connect the indoor and outdoor components of the system.
