Ductless air conditioners, also known as “mini splits”, are an excellent cooling option for many homeowners This is because a significant number of homes in the Northeast don’t have existing ductwork necessary for central air conditioning.
Ductless mini splits are a sleek, versatile alternative to central air conditioning. They don’t need ducts to heat or cool your home, so they can be installed in almost any space — and the configurations are almost endless. So if you’re sick of sweaty summers and loud, bulky window AC units, give ARM a call!
Easy Installation
Mini split systems use less space to fit all of the necessary components of heating and cooling equipment without any ducts. Mini-split systems can be installed in any room as long as the outdoor unit is within a reasonable distance. Outdoor units can be installed on the ground, roof, or mounted to the wall.
Zoning Capabilities
Ductless mini splits can be set up to control the temperature in just one room (single-zone) or throughout your home (multi-zone). Single-zone systems are great for additional rooms or a single area that needs better temperature control. Multi-zone mini split systems are a whole-home alternative to central air conditioning, with the added benefit of room-to-room control and excellent energy efficiency. Zoning can meet everyone’s temperature preferences at once, meaning no more fighting over the thermostat!
Quiet Operation
Our Mitsubishi mini split systems are some of the quietest air conditioners available on the market. Their ability to operate without noise makes them perfect for bedrooms and other quiet spaces. Central and window AC units simply can’t compare!
Cooling + Heating
As a side benefit, all of Heritage’s ductless AC systems double as heat pumps during the colder months, providing heating to your home in outside temperatures as low as -13°F. Even if you already have a furnace or boiler, you’ll be able to heat your home with greater efficiency by using the heat pump instead.
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings
Central air conditioning distributes air throughout the whole house, so you have to adjust the thermostat if just one room is too hot or cold. These systems have to work even harder if your ductwork has air leaks or was improperly installed. Mini split systems, in comparison, can reduce energy consumption by30% simply because they don’t need ductwork.
Available Upgrades and Add-ons
Each indoor unit contains its own local temperature sensor and can be individually controlled from a remote control – or, with the correct upgrade package, your smartphone. If seasonal allergies are a concern, they can also be fitted with filters that eliminate allergens and irritants inside your home.
