For Leander homeowners considering home additions, older houses without ductwork or spaces requiring individual temperature control, ductless mini‑split systems offer flexibility and efficiency. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that minisplits avoid the energy losses associated with ducted systems—duct leaks can account for more than 30 % of energy consumption for air conditioning. Additional advantages:
Zoned comfort: One outdoor unit can connect to several indoor air handlers, allowing different rooms to be set to different temperatures.
Design flexibility: Indoor units can be wall‑mounted, ceiling‑recessed or floor‑standing.
Dual heating and cooling: Mini‑split heat pumps can both heat and cool your home.
Easy installation: Installation requires only a small wall penetration and flexible placement up to 50 feet from the outdoor unit.
Considerations: Minisplits generally cost more than traditional systems and must be sized correctly; over‑sizing can lead to short cycling and humidity problems.
