3 Reasons Why Ductless Heating Might Be Right For Your Home In The Charleston Area
Published by Travis Baucom on
As we push into the cooler season here in the Lowcountry, many area residents and homeowners are starting the switch to their preferred choice of heating source.
We’ve already covered what to do in case your heating unit isn’t working properly and how to tell what kind of system you may have ( heat pump vs air conditioner ), but what if you’re looking into a new heating solution?
While the options for types of heating units are many, including gas furnaces and traditional heat pumps, one additional option might be great if you’re looking for an alternative.
Ductless mini-splits are a great option regardless if you need it for heating or cooling (they can perform both functions), but let’s take a closer look at if it’d make a great choice for your Lowcountry home.
1. You Don’t Have Existing Ductwork In Certain Areas
Especially in new home additions, garages and other areas that are separate from a home’s existing ductwork, ductless heating solutions make a great option.
As they don’t need to connect to any ductwork to condition a particular space in your home, it’s an easy choice for those areas that are outside of your home’s ductwork blueprint.
2. You Want More Granular Heating Control
Even having ductwork available in certain areas doesn’t mean a ductless solution won’t be the best option.
Often different areas of homes have different heating needs or are cooler in general compared to other areas.
Installing a ductless mini-split heating solution can allow you to have more control over the heating needs in those areas.
3. You Want To Remove Ductwork From The Equation
Air duct systems can be a hassle to maintain for many homeowners.
From maintenance to cleaning (especially after our floods here in the Lowcountry), they can wear out even the most proactive homeowner.
If you’re looking to remove the ductwork needs from your HVAC system, then installing a ductless mini-split is a great option.
Having a reliable heating solution for your home is important for your family’s year-round comfort – even in our warmer climate here in South Carolina.
But knowing which heating source is best for your home isn’t always easy.
That’s why it’s usually best to have a local heating and air company help you with your selection.
