Cedar Rapids Ductless Mini Split Installation

Do you have a space in your home that is difficult for your HVAC system to reach? This might be because it’s a new addition, but you do not have ductwork installed. This could be a room like a finished attic or a room over a garage that always feels stuffy and uncomfortable. You might have a separate structure from your home like a workshop that you like to use, but the summer heat makes it unbearable to work in sometimes. The answer to all these issues could be a ductless mini-split. Ductless mini splits are energy efficient, incredibly effective, easy to install, and more secure than a window air conditioner. Plus, they can provide both heat and cool air to your space. 

Novak Heating and Cooling is here to help bring comfort, convenience, and efficiency into your Cedar Rapids area home. Learn why a ductless mini split system installed by us is the right choice for a whole home, or a certain area comfort solution.

A ductless mini-split HVAC system is a great way to heat and cool your home without needing ductwork. A mini-split has two main components: an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air-handling units inside the living space, connected by refrigerant lines. 

The coils within the indoor unit contain refrigerant that absorbs heat energy from air pulled from the space; by removing this energy from the air supply indoors, the temperature is lowered and cool air is sent directly out into the room. Refrigerant cycles to the outdoor unit and energy is then released into the atmosphere. Ductless mini-splits with heat pumps can cycle in reverse to heat indoor spaces, moving outdoor heat energy inside to the air supply.

Highly Efficient

Ductless mini-split HVAC systems are more efficient than traditional HVAC systems for a number of reasons. First, they don’t rely on ductwork to distribute air, which can leak up to 30% of the air that passes through it. Second, ductless mini-splits have individual air handlers and controls for each zone, so you can adjust the temperature to meet your specific needs, unlike traditional HVAC systems.

Better Flexibility

Ductless mini-split HVAC systems are also more flexible than traditional HVAC systems. They can be installed in a variety of locations, including attics, crawl spaces, and garages. Because they don’t require ducts, they’re great for homes and spaces that don’t have existing duct systems. Additionally, they can be used to heat and cool multiple rooms or zones within a home.

Healthier Air Quality

Ductless mini-splits also provide healthier air quality than traditional HVAC systems. Because they don’t rely on ductwork, there is no risk of airborne contaminants being circulated throughout the home. Additionally, mini-splits have filters that remove allergens, dust, and other particles from the air as the system runs.

Lower Operating Costs

In addition to being more efficient, ductless mini-split HVAC systems also have lower operating costs than traditional HVAC systems. This is because they use less energy overall and have individual controls for each zone, so you can save money by only heating or cooling the areas that you need.

Increased Home Value

Finally, ductless mini-split HVAC systems can increase the value of your home. Homes with ductless mini-splits tend to sell for more than homes without them because they are more efficient and provide healthier air quality.

You might be weary of installing an HVAC system in your home that you are not familiar with. We understand your hesitation.
