Though most Northwest Indiana homes use more traditional air conditioning units, some homeowners are opting for ductless, or mini-split, air conditioners. The ductless air conditioner units are installed throughout the home and connect individual rooms to an outdoor compressor. The units contain coils that use refrigerant to cool the ambient air in individual rooms and push the heat to the outdoor compressor. Mini-split air conditioner units allow for zoning of the home, which means each room can be individually climate controlled, as opposed to centralized air that maintains the entire home at one temperature.
Ductless, or mini-split, air conditioners are a useful alternative to traditional air conditioning units for many Northwest Indiana homes. Ductless air conditioner installation is less intrusive than centralized air conditioner installation, as there is no duct work required when you opt for mini-split air conditioners. Here are some benefits to choosing ductless air conditioners:
Less intrusive installation, as no duct work is needed
Individualized zone control throughout different rooms to allow certain areas to be actively climate controlled while others are not
Improved energy-efficiency that decreases energy expenditure and saves you money
No concern over allergen or microbe presence within duct work
Several mini-split air conditioners also provide heating function
