Frequently Asked Questions
With heating and cooling as our specialties, it’s no surprise that we receive many questions about mini-split systems. Here are answers to a couple of the most common ones.
Are ductless mini-splits more energy efficient than central AC?
Yes, these systems are more efficient than traditional air conditioners. They avoid the potential for air loss that comes with ducts. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that homeowners with aging ductwork can pay 30% more annually for their cooling bills.
Can you replace a central air conditioning system with a ductless system?
While you can certainly replace a central air conditioner with a mini-split, it’s important to understand your options. If you already have ducting in your home, installing a heat pump can be a more cost-effective method for home heating and cooling. Our experts can discuss various home cooling options with you so you can be well-informed.
