Ductless Mini-Split Systems in Ottsville, PA
Ductless Mini-Split Installation and Services
In a compact space and when opening up walls might not be an option, a duct work system might not be feasible. Consider a ductless HVAC system from Cooper Mechanical to efficiently help maintain an optimal temperature in your home or office. These units offer reliable climate control for areas that might be difficult to cool or heat with a traditional, ducted HVAC System.
How Mini-Split Systems Work
A ductless mini-split system is a type of air-to-air heat pump that extracts heat from the inside and moves it outside, maintaining a cool indoor climate in the summer. Then, it does just the opposite in the winter: it takes the heat in the outside air and moves it inside, heating the indoor space. Because a ductless mini-split moves air instead of generating air, it uses substantially less electricity, making it very cost-effective. Also, because there isn’t a ductwork system, there is no chance of air loss along the duct line, adding to its efficiency.
A ductless mini-split consists of two major pieces of equipment: a compact, outdoor condensing unit and a small, indoor air handling unit. The interior unit is designed to be streamlined and unobtrusive, so it doesn’t take up a lot of space or disrupt the overall styling of the room. And it’s QUIET, unlike wall, window, or space units.
The indoor and outdoor units are connected by discreet refrigerant lines, which don’t require excessive cutting into your walls to install large ductwork systems or vents. Some models even allow pairing of up to 5 indoor air handlers to one outdoor condensing unit, allowing for zoned climate control throughout several areas. With this application, the mini-split performs like a ‘central’ system – perfect for people who, in the past, were told there was no way to retrofit air conditioning in their homes because of the prohibitive expense or complexity.
Spaces where customers often use a ductless HVAC system include:
- Seasonal rooms
- Home additions
- Remodeled areas
- Seldom used rooms
- Garage apartments
- Bonus rooms
- Computer server rooms
Ductless HVAC For All-Season Comfort
This year-round equipment lets you optimize the temperature of a single room so you can warm the room in winter and cool it in summer.
You can also use a ductless mini-split system to keep a specific area of your home or office cooler or warmer than other parts, so you can maintain a colder space for computing equipment or warm up a frequently used room while keeping the rest of the home at a cooler temperature. These targeted HVAC systems are also great for cooling and heating problem areas of your home or facility that central air and heating don’t reach.
A ductless HVAC system can be installed in new construction, during a renovation, or retroactively in an existing space without excessive disruption to the site.
Choosing A Ductless Mini-Split HVAC System
An important consideration when choosing a ductless mini-split HVAC system is what type of system is right for your location. Existing rooms with exposed beam ceilings are often well-suited for a mini-split system, as are spaces where cutting through the walls or ceiling would be virtually impossible because of the composition or cost.
It is also important to consider who to buy a new HVAC system from. As such, it is best to choose a company with years of experience and responsive customer service.
