In recent years, mini-split AC units have become a popular alternative to traditional ducted HVAC units. While there are many benefits of mini-split AC units, one stands out among the rest: affordability. If you’re a homeowner looking to save money on heating and cooling your home, it might be time to consider a mini-split AC unit. Here are just a few ways that you can save money by switching to a mini-split unit:

Installation Costs

Mini-split units are not only smaller than regular HVAC units, they’re also ductless. This means they can often take less than a day to install, which helps you save on labor costs. You’ll also save on preventative maintenance since your technician won’t have to inspect ductwork.

Independent Control

Mini-splits are known for their ability to be independently controlled from your home’s main HVAC system. Unlike a traditional HVAC system which controls the temperature across your entire home, mini-splits can concentrate heated or cooled air into a smaller living space. This can result in major savings for your electric bill.

Energy Savings

Independent control isn’t the only way that mini-splits can help you save on energy. Mini-splits are one of the most energy efficient AC systems available according to their SEER rating. SEER, which stands for Season Energy Efficiency Ratio, is a rating for HVAC systems based on their energy efficiency. The higher the rating, the more energy efficient the unit. Mini-slits are often rated between 17-25 SEER. Traditional units, on the other hand, are typically rated at 14 SEER. Since mini-splits use less energy over the life of the unit, you won’t pay as much in energy costs.
