What Is Ductless Mini-split Heating and Cooling?

Did you know ductless heating and cooling has been around in the United States since the 1970s? It’s also a primary system used throughout many homes in Europe and Asia because of its energy efficiency.

Ductless systems provide heating and cooling as a heat pump using an indoor and outdoor unit. They don’t use traditional HVAC ducts to transfer your warm or cool air, but instead function utilizing a refrigerant line that connects the indoor air handler and the outdoor condenser.

Ductless air handlers can be installed in the wall, floor or ceiling, and you can choose to have either one indoor to one outdoor unit or connect up to eight indoor units to one outside. You can even utilize a traditional ducted air handler attached to ductless mini-splits.

Common reasons you may opt to install a ductless heating and cooling system in their homes include:

• Age: A ductless mini-split heating and cooling system works well for older homes that already have a traditional HVAC system or no existing ductwork.
• Cost savings: Ductless mini-split cooling and heating can increase energy efficiency and lower your fuel costs.
• New living space: Have you created a new living area in your home? A ductless mini-split system offers a convenient and effective targeted heating and cooling solution.
• Enhanced temperature control: These systems are perfect for spaces where you’re having difficulty maintaining the ideal temperature.
• Upgrade: Installing ductless mini-split heating and cooling enables you to remove those unsightly and inefficient window air conditioning units.

Benefits of a Ductless Mini Split

Ductless mini split systems not only eliminate large and difficult-to-install ducts throughout your home, but they also offer cost savings and versatility that a traditional air conditioner and heating system cannot provide. Benefits of ductless heating and cooling include:

• Zone Control and Efficiency: With multiple indoor units, you can achieve zone control — or different indoor temperatures throughout your home. Each unit can be independently controlled using wall controls, remote controls or smart controls and applications. This in addition to high heating technology gives you flexibility, so you can see cost savings on your monthly utility and energy bills.
• Cost Savings: It’s estimated that they use 60% less energy than home electric heating systems. Because mini-split heat pumps use better compressors and fans, they can adjust speeds and reduce energy consumption, saving you up to 30% over conventional air conditioning units. Not to mention, the costs of ductless mini split heating and cooling installations are typically less than installing a full, traditionally ducted system.
• High Heating Capacity: When the temperature gets extremely low, some ductless systems will stay operational at full capacity, while heat pumps can de-rate at 40 degrees, which can eliminate electric usage spikes and increase energy efficiency.
• Versatility: Ductless systems can be installed in your home as a wall unit, floor mounted, ceiling cassettes and as ducted air handlers. Wall units come in a variety of sizes that best fit the usage of the room you’re installing it in and are offered in several colors that blend seamlessly with your furnishings.
• Reliability: With proper installation and maintenance, ductless heating and cooling systems are expected to last longer than a traditional heater and air conditioner. Zimmerman can offer you up to a 12-year warranty on all ductless system components and up to a 12-year labor warranty.
• Quiet Operation: While in use, indoor ductless systems are as quiet as a whisper, so they don’t disturb your daily living. Outside, the condenser is hardly noticeable.
• Quick installation: With the expertise of the Zimmerman team, we can have your ductless system up and running quickly.
• Improved air quality: Each indoor air-handling unit includes a built-in air filter that removes potentially harmful particulates and contaminants like dirt, mold spores, pet dander and dust. You and your family will be breathing cleaner, healthier air.
• Environmentally friendly: The excellent energy efficiency of these ductless heating and cooling systems can reduce your carbon footprint. They meet the Energy Star guidelines to minimizes their environmental impact.

Testimonials

“Zimmerman’s is a high quality company! We chose them to install our ductless mini split system a little over 2 years ago. They explained every step of the process so we felt confident choosing our system and there were no surprise fees. They are efficient and tidy in their work, even wearing shoe covers in the house. The staff they send for routine bi-annual maintenance has always been professional, tidy, and friendly. Our ductless system works great and we haven’t experienced any issues. Highly recommend!”


“The team that installed the split system at my Art Gallery and Framing Shop were great! They explained how the system worked and answered questions when I had them. I am looking forward to my partnership with Zimmerman since they now hold my yearly HVAC contract. I would definitely recommend!”


“I have used Zimmerman for about 8 years now and most recently for the installation of a ductless AC system. Not surprisingly, they were wonderful.”
