When your home was first built, its HVAC system was (ideally) designed to sufficiently heat and cool all the rooms of the home. However, many homeowners have made additions to their home\u2019s square footage, leaving certain areas without adequate temperature control. And some areas of homes such as garages weren\u2019t designed to be heated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you\u2019ve tried to make do with a space heater or an AC window unit in these spaces. If you\u2019ve been unhappy with the results, you might avoid spending time in the rooms you should be able to enjoy year-round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where the magic of mini splits comes in! These wall-mounted, 2-in-1 heating and air conditioning units are the perfect solution to spaces that have been difficult to control the temperature of.

Let\u2019s go over 7 areas in a home that would benefit from the addition of a ductless mini split.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Are Mini Splits?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ductless mini splits are systems that don\u2019t need ductwork in order to operate. An individual air handler is mounted on the wall or ceiling of a room, zone, or space. A separate condenser unit is installed outside of the home. You can install as many air handlers as you want. They use heat pump technology which means there\u2019s the added benefit of providing both heating and cooling, making them a great year-round option.\u00a0For insights into the benefits of switching to this technology, explore 5 reasons homeowners are switching to a heat pump<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
