Among the different services for air conditioning installation in Delaware<\/a> we offer our clients is installation of ductless mini split heat pumps, which provide both cooling and heating without the need to either put in ducts or use up window space. Ductless mini splits are fantastic ways for older homes to enjoy great heating and cooling while not having to make major alterations to find ways to stick in ductwork. They also work as excellent alternatives for new home construction\u2014you can forget about squeezing ductwork into the blueprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you\u2019re reading this and thinking, \u201cI live in a\nhouse with built-in ducts. Is there any point in having a ductless system\ninstalled? What\u2019s the benefit?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s true that if you have a central ducted AC and heater in\nyour house that you are better off staying with this type when you have a\nreplacement. But this doesn\u2019t entirely discount ductless systems. There are\nuses for ductless mini split heat pumps in homes with ducts. Below are a few of\nthem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Room Addition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You want to enlarge your house with an extra room: a bedroom\nfor a growing family, a home office for adjustments to your job, a game area or\nentertainment center, a study, a sunroom \u2026 there are many reasons to build a\nroom addition. But how are you going to heat and cool it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It isn\u2019t as simple as building out the ductwork to the new\nspace, since the AC and heater were not sized for this, and the extra ductwork\nwill cause a drop in air pressure throughout the HVAC system affecting comfort.\nAn easier, cleaner route is to have a ductless mini split as part of the room\naddition. This gives the new space powerful comfort around the year without interfering\nin heating and cooling for the rest of the household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Room Conversion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instead of adding on a room, you decide to convert a non-living\nspace like the garage, attic, or basement into a living space. These are not zones\nconnected to the HVAC system and they present special heating and cooling challenges.\nBut just like with the room addition, you can have a ductless mini split heat\npump installed for the new space and have it conditioned the way you like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eliminating Hot and Cold Spots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are there rooms in your house that never seem to be the right\ntemperature? It\u2019s difficult to provide even cooling to a house, especially a\nlarge one. If you are looking to conquer those difficult-to-heat and cool\nareas, installing a ductless mini split might be the best approach. Our installers\ncan help pinpoint where you need cooling\/heating help and use the flexibility\nof the ductless system to fix the problem. You can have up to four indoor wall\nunits for each outdoor unit, so you have plenty of options for solving uneven\ncomfort in your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can help you find the right solutions to providing ideal\ncomfort for your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
