They can also be a good choice for room additions where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not feasible, and very efficient new homes that require only a small space conditioning system.<\/p>\n<p>Like standard air-source heat pumps, mini splits have two main components &#8212; an outdoor compressor\/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units.<\/p>\n<p>The main advantages of mini splits are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Their small size and flexibility for zoning or heating and cooling individual rooms.<\/li>\n<li>Each of the zones has its own thermostat, so you only need to condition occupied spaces. This will save energy and money.<\/li>\n<li>Ductless mini-split systems are easier to install than some other types of space conditioning systems.<\/li>\n<li>Mini splits have no ducts &#8211; duct losses can account for more than 30% of energy consumption for space conditioning.<\/li>\n<li>Mini splits offer more interior design flexibility.<\/li>\n<li>Split systems can help keep your home safer, because there is only a small hole in the wall. Through-the-wall and window-mounted room air conditioners can provide easy access for intruders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Installations may be higher than some other systems but the lower operating costs provide a good offset to those costs.\u00a0 A skilled and experienced installer also makes a huge difference for the extended life and enjoyment of your system.<\/p>\n<p>Browse our gallery of an
