Are Ductless Mini-Splits the Future of HVAC?

It may be an exaggeration to state that the ductless mini-split is the “future of HVAC.” However, it is undoubtedly a fantastic way to heat and cool tricky problem areas.    Let us describe how a ductless mini-split is typically used. We would also like to help Kansas City homeowners find a company specializing in this unique solution to problem areas.

What is a ductless mini-split?

A ductless mini-split (also known as a “mini split”) is a heating and cooling system that doesn’t require the use of ducts. Additionally (unlike a window air conditioning unit,) a mini-split doesn’t even need a window.    If maintaining a constant temperature in an area without ductwork or a window seems too good to be true, keep reading. We are about to help you solve a problem that you may have struggled with since you moved into your home.
A ductless mini-split can make these living spaces more “livable.”
Are you tired of being held hostage by our hard-to-predict midwest weather patterns? Make every space in your home livable – no matter the outside temperature. Here are some of the uses of a ductless mini-split.
Basements
Do your kids rarely hang out in your basement during the winter because they have to dress like they are preparing to climb Mt. Everest? A ductless mini-split will encourage your kids to spend more time in your downstairs family room.
Sun Rooms
Did you build a sunroom because you loved the idea of soaking in some rays during the coldest days of the year? You may have quickly realized that bitter cold days are sometimes sunny. However, a ductless mini-split will protect your plants and give you your beautiful sitting area back.  
Garages
If you’ve driven through Kansas City suburbs on Sunday afternoons, you have probably seen neighbors gathering in each other’s garages during the Chiefs games. Be the party house on your cul de sac by heating (or cooling) your garage for your guests.   Also, your unattached garage may keep the snow off your car, but it does nothing to keep your vehicles from freezing during bitter Midwestern winters. 
Sheds
Your she-shed may be your happy place. However, you won’t be satisfied in your she-shed (or he-shed) if you are hot or cold. 
Other hard to heat (or cool) areas  Some of our clients have large homes. A ductless mini-split can be used to heat and cool the spaces they use the most. 
Benefits of a Ductless Mini Split Most of our customers who choose a mini-split do so because they need help maintaining a comfortable temperature in a problem area. However, there are other benefits to this type of system.     A mini-split is less expensive to install than a new HVAC system. You can also purchase a system that filters the air to remove allergens, dust, and pet dander.
