In the middle of summer, the last thing any person wants to go through is having their air conditioner go out. We've grown accustomed to having a cooling system in our homes, and it is certainly hard to go without. These systems don't last forever and will need to be replaced at some point. You need to replace your home's central AC unit; you likely have started looking at options available to you. An attractive option for many is switching to a ductless mini-split. But why would you want to do this if it's not what you currently have? Let's review some of the reasons people select a ductless mini-split for their home.

Do You Currently Have A Duct System?

Switching to a ductless mini-split offers a wide range of benefits. If you're familiar with your central AC unit, it's likely you understand that these systems require quite a bit of maintenance. You have to clean out the ductwork to ensure better breathing quality, and you have to perform filter changes to keep this system blowing air efficiently.

You Want Lower Energy Costs

Did you know that a ductless mini-split can also save you money on your energy cost? This is because a ductless mini-split effectively cools better than a central unit. This is because it doesn't take as long to cool down space with a ductless mini-split as it does with the central unit. Part of the reason being is that the central AC has to flow through the entire vent system to reach your designated room. Or, with a mini-split, you simply turn on the unit and start enjoying cool climates.

You Desire Customizable Comfort

What many people enjoy about the ductless system is the ability to customize their comfort. If someone wants to keep their room at 65° and you like 75 before, it would be a fight over the thermostat. Now, with a ductless mini-split, you can program your space to one climate, and someone else can keep theirs at their desired temperature.

Final Thoughts

If you already have central heating wellington, then it might not seem like the best route to take—going to a ductless mini-split. However, there are reasons to think it over should your HVAC unit go out. The first is to save money, and the second is to have programmable separate room features you simply can't get with central AC.
