Mini-Splits: The Right Choice For Your Home?

Is a Mini-Split the Right Choice for Your Home?

Whether you live in Mt. Airy, NC, Rocky Mount, VA or anywhere in between, sometimes a home’s primary HVAC system needs some help. No matter how advanced a system is, some rooms are always too hot or too cold to be comfortable. This is especially true in finished basements, sunrooms, garages, additions or in homes with poor insulation.

If you can relate to uneven comfort and temperatures throughout your home, a mini-split may be right for you.

What is a Mini-Split?

Mini-splits are interior HVAC systems that let you heat or cool individual rooms of your home. Featuring multiple air handlers without ductwork, these systems are installed on exterior-facing walls that connect to an outdoor condenser.

In addition to homes, mini-splits are ideal heating and cooling solutions for businesses with varying temperature needs. Restaurants, retail stores, churches or offices with specialized storage needs can benefit from adding a mini-split to their building.

Mini-Splits & Your Existing HVAC System

One advantage of using a mini-split in your home is that it can work alongside your existing HVAC system. Mini-splits supplement your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump through wall-mounted units to bring additional comfort to specific spaces.

There’s no need to replace or alter your current heating and cooling setup, as mini-splits are easy to retrofit in rooms or older homes without a duct system.

Are Mini-Splits Energy-Efficient?

Since mini-splits are only used in specific areas of your home or business, they are not “wasting” treated air. This means they’re extremely energy-efficient, as you only pay to heat or cool the rooms and spaces you use.

A particularly efficient unit is the Mitsubishi wall-mounted mini-split system. These systems are quiet, efficient, dependable and ideal for homes or businesses throughout Southwestern Virginia and Northern North Carolina.

At Hall Propane, we proudly install and stand behind Mitsubishi’s mini-split as an excellent addition to your HVAC system. If you have questions about adding mini-splits to your home or business, contact a Hall HVAC professional today.
