The Best Benefits of Choosing a Ductless AC/Heating System

September 4th, 2023

Once upon a time, there were only two options available for a home when it came to air conditioning:

  • Multiple window air conditioning units
  • A central air conditioning system using ductwork

These two choices didn’t offer much space between them: if a house didn’t have ductwork, it had to use window ACs or else go through the expense of having parts of the house remodeled to add it. Window ACs were ugly, inconvenient, and low-powered.

However, now there’s a third option: ductless mini split heat pumps. These systems combine the benefits of central air conditioning (you can have cooling throughout the house) with window ACs (no need to add ducts or modify the house in any way). Plus, they come with additional benefits that make them arguably the best all-around choice. We’ll explain the top benefits of considering ductless AC in Greenville, SC for your house.
