The main disadvantage of mini-split A/C systems is their cost. Mini-splits provide a more efficient and comfortable cooling solution for your home. As such, their sticker price is a bit higher than a traditional HVAC installation.

A major advantage of mini-splits relative to traditional systems, is their ease of installation. Smaller conduits to connect the indoor and outdoor units can be used to install a mini-split A/C system, saving time and labor.

Perhaps the most stark benefit of ductless mini-splits is their flexibility. Mini-split A/C systems allow homeowners to cool different rooms in their house at different temperatures, giving each room its own thermostat, all the while being powered by the same outdoor unit. This flexibility allows for easier accessibility and additional comfort throughout your home.

Mini-split units have energy savings that alternative systems do not, thanks to their ductless nature. According to the Department of Energy, losses of energy from ducts can account for up to 30% of energy consumption for air conditioning! A more efficient cooling system, like a mini-split, will also result in reduced monthly energy bills, as well.
