Rooms that don’t have ductwork, like an addition, sunroom or garage, can be tricky to heat and cool. Lengthening ductwork from a current system may be costly. And that extra square footage may just be too sizeable for your home comfort equipment to manage, since your equipment wasn’t sized with it in mind.
A mini-split is a wise idea for these spaces since it doesn’t have to have ductwork. This combined heating and cooling system has two components: an outdoor condenser and an indoor wall-mounted evaporator. It’s typically known as a mini-split heat pump since it moves heating and cooling, instead of making it. As a result, mini-splits are highly energy-efficient, with the majority achieving ENERGY STAR® certification.
