Key Benefits of Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump Installation or Upgrade:

Mini-Split Heat Pump – Did you Know

The key advantages of mini-split heat pump systems are smaller capacities as compared to conventional air-conditioners, and ductless air distribution. Taken together, these attributes make mini-split systems ideal for zoning applications, supplemental heating or cooling, or whole home conditioning in ultra-high performance low load homes. 

Traditionally, air-conditioner and furnace capacity limits are 2 to 5 tons or 24,000 to 60,000 BTUs, although gas furnaces possess much high upper BTU limits through combustion heating. As new building materials, techniques, and building science are integrated into structures, higher levels of insulation and air-tightness are achieved, leading to reduced home heating and cooling loads. As a result, low, and lower, load homes are becoming more frequent and require smaller heating and cooling equipment. Most brands of ductless mini-split heat pumps now offer capacities as small as ½ a ton, or 6,000 BTUs, of heating and cooling. This fractional capacity allows mini-splits to properly meet new lower load requirements. Additionally, fractional capacities less than two tons allows mini-splits to serve as supplemental space conditioning common with large gatherings that require heating or cooling above design parameters. Finally, smaller capacity mini-splits can be used for zoning applications, by installing small indoor heads by room controlled individually by independent thermostats while connected to a single outdoor unit. 

National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in conjunction with the United States Department of Energy (DOE) published research on ductworks impact on residential heating and cooling system performance. Typical ducted systems lose as much as 40% of the heating or cooling produced, through air leakage, and conduction. Losses are particularly high when ductwork is routed in attics, and crawlspaces. Ductless mini-split heat pumps do not suffer such losses as air distribution occurs at the point of use through heads placed in specific rooms or open locations. Air is not moved through large, commonly uninsulated and leaky, metal ductwork.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), offers up to $2,000 in federal tax credits with the installation of a high-efficient heat pump, to include ductless mini-split systems.
