We really run the full-temperature gamut here in San Antonio, TX, from the extreme heat in summer to the more biting temperatures in winter. At AiRCO Heating and Air Conditioning, we know we Texans expect many options to keep us comfortable during these temperature changes. One of these options is a ductless, or mini split, heating and cooling system. These ductless mini split systems can sometimes offer the efficiency and flexibility a more traditional system can’t.
A ductless system is a heating and cooling system that’s entirely ductless. It doesn’t rely on your home’s ductwork or require the installation of additional ducts. This system consists of only an indoor unit (an air handling unit), an outdoor unit (a condenser or compressor), and its small conduit (housing the condensate drain, power cable, suction tubing, and refrigerant tubing) that connects the two units. It’s extremely flexible since the indoor unit’s mounted either on a ceiling or a wall and can be installed almost anywhere in your home. In addition, since there’s no ductwork to leak energy, a ductless mini split is highly efficient, saving you in energy costs.
These heating and cooling systems are ideal for additions, basements, garages, areas in your home you don’t use as often or that don’t seem to have even heating and cooling, and rooms currently using a space heater or window air conditioner. If you’d like to have your garage temperature controlled while you’re out there working, this is a great solution. If you have a guest bedroom that you’d prefer to not heat and cool when no one’s visiting, here’s the answer. If you’d like to add a room on to your home or turn your three-season sunroom into a four-season sunroom, a ductless mini split is perfect. Our expertly trained and NATE (North American Trained Excellence)-certified technicians are happy to come out to your home and help you assess how and where this system can make your home more comfortable and save you energy costs.
