5 Benefits of Installing Ductless Mini-Splits
There are plenty of reasons to choose ductless mini-splits for your home. As you consider the options for your property, be sure to consider the following benefits offered by ductless systems:
- No ducts required: As the name suggests, they don’t require ductwork. If your home is like many in the region, there’s a good chance you don’t have ductwork installed. Mini-splits solve this problem because they don’t require ducts, making installation easier.
- Energy efficiency: Unlike central systems, which cool your entire home, ductless systems can be installed in a single room or within a multi-unit configuration to establish climate zones. This allows you to cool only the rooms you need, thus reducing overall energy consumption.
- Reliability: Ductless systems have a serviceable lifespan of 20 to 25 years, which is greater than the 10 to 15 years typical of most central air conditioners.
- Lower cost: Ductless systems often cost less to operate than central air conditioners, and they can significantly reduce summertime cooling costs.
- Dual-use: Many models offer heating and cooling capabilities, allowing you to use them to heat your home in the winter.

4 Signs to Replace Your Ductless HVAC System in PA
Ductless systems are among the most reliable cooling systems in the region. However, time does take its toll, and as with all HVAC systems, the day will arrive when further repairs are simply not feasible. If you have an older system, the following signs are indications that your unit is nearing the end:
- Diminished cooling capacity: Lowered capacity can be caused by blocked air filters and other minor issues. However, it can also indicate components wearing out.
- Short-cycling: Short-cycling can be due to electrical faults, clogged filters, or another issue. However, it can also be a symptom of larger issues that require replacing the unit.
- Frequent repairs: Increasingly frequent (or costlier) repairs are a common sign the system is failing. If at any point, regardless of age, your system requires repairs exceeding 50% of the replacement cost, then replacement is usually the best course of action.
- Failure to initiate: Failure to start (or stop) can indicate a critical malfunction stemming from faulty motors, corroded wiring, or another problem.
