You may think that a ductless mini-split air conditioner in Brecksville, OH, would only serve a limited purpose, but it’s a versatile unit. What we’re talking about is a heat pump but without the ductwork. The air handler portion simply has a smaller blowing capacity, suiting it for a room rather than a whole home. For this reason, many people choose a mini-split AC installation in an outbuilding like a shed or garage.
However, mini-splits can often be a perfect alternative to central heat pumps. One compressor can hook up a total of eight air handlers, which can translate to virtual whole-house cooling. Many new home builders opt for mini-splits because they don’t want the hassle of ductwork or the higher energy costs. Others install them in historic homes that can’t fit ductwork without some compromise to their structural integrity.
