Why Choose Mini-Splits for Your Greensboro Home
Explore the potential advantages mini-split HVAC systems have over other HVAC systems below.
Room-by-room comfort control
HVAC zoning distributes conditioned or warmed air throughout your home to even out the temperature and optimize comfort. With a ductwork-based system, managing your home’s temperature can present some challenges, such as cold or hot spots and poor insulation.
In contrast, mini-split systems use one or more indoor units connected to an outdoor unit and have built-in zoning abilities. With multiple indoor units, you can control the temperature and set schedules of individual rooms and zones, resulting in improved energy efficiency and reduced wear on your system.
No ductwork = lower energy bills
Ductwork can account for 30% of air that’s lost in leaks, holes, and poor duct connections, resulting in additional strain on the HVAC unit and high energy consumption. Since mini-split systems deliver air directly into rooms, they can operate on significantly less power and don’t lose efficiency through ductwork holes.
Plus, many government and private organizations offer energy saving incentives for mini-split systems, such as the Air Source Heat Pumps Tax Credit or the Home Energy Rebates Programs.
Sleek design blends with your decor
Most indoor mini-split units have slim and compact designs, and installation requires just a small hole in the wall to connect the indoor and outdoor units. Instead of tearing down walls or ceilings and losing square footage to ductwork, mini-split systems offer cooling and heating without any invasive work.
Whisper-quiet operation
Depending on the model, the indoor units of mini-split systems can operate quietly at about 25 decibels, which is the same as a whisper. In comparison, central air conditioning hovers around 59 decibels during regular operation, similar to the noise of a regular conversation.

Why Should Greensboro Homes Go Ductless?
Mini-split systems offer many benefits, but getting the most from these benefits depends on your individual circumstances. Certain situations merit a switch to ductless, such as if your household prefers different temperatures throughout your home and may benefit from zoning flexibility. If you’re adding new rooms, remodeling existing rooms, or evening out hot or cold spots, you can add a single-zone mini split unit to supplement your existing HVAC system.
In some large homes, conventional HVAC may be more effective at providing consistent heating and cooling. If your existing HVAC and ductwork system is in good shape and has many years left, waiting to go ductless is a better option.
