Lexington Ductless Mini Split System Services

As we have stated, Comfort Experts Heating & Cooling promises to deliver advanced heating and cooling technological systems. This is why we are offering the latest in technology: exceedingly energy-efficient ductless mini-split system heat pumps or air conditioners. Mini-splits are virtually invisible and less noisy, not to mention less vulnerable to air leakage and security problems. They make good retrofit add-ons to homes or businesses with non-ducted heating systems, such as those that use wood, kerosene or propane hot water heat (hydronic), radiant panels, and space heaters.

Benefits Of Ductless Mini-Split Systems

According to James Bowman, a 20+ year veteran of the HVAC industry and who is the National Technical Manager at RectorSeal, you are losing 25% or more of your energy to ductwork. This is the idea behind ductless, mini-split system heat pumps and air conditioners whereby we can deliver a more efficient system by simply removing the ducts.

Ductless Mini-Split Systems Can Also Be A Smart, Flexible Solution To:

• Homes or offices where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not possible
• New homes that only require a small space for air conditioning system
• Certain rooms that need to be heated or cooled separately

How Ductless Mini-Splits Work

Like standard air-source heat pumps, there are two main components in a ductless heat pump or air conditioner mini split system.

These Two Components Are:

• A wall-mounted indoor air handling unit combined with an outside compressor
• A conduit that houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing and a condensate drain that links the outdoor and indoor units

Because you consume a lot of energy during compressor start-up, ductless models with inverter-driven compressors can speed up and slow down according to your system’s needs instead of shutting off entirely as traditional HVAC compressors do.
