Mini Split AC in Jacksonville, FLIf you’ve added a room to your home in Jacksonville, FL, or you own a house that doesn’t have ductwork for a central AC system, you may be considering the installation of a mini-split AC. There are several good reasons you’ll want to hear from our experts at McGowan's Heating & Air Conditioning about the plusses of these systems. For those who don’t know what a mini-split is, it’s a ductless air conditioner that attaches to your wall and connects to a compressor outside.

    As with a ducted heat pump, a mini-split cools by transferring heat from the house to the outdoors. It’s small, so it can only cool one room, but you can attach up to eight mini-splits to a single compressor, allowing you to cool the whole house.

    Mini Split AC Benefits

    We understand that one drawback to mini splits is their high cost when compared to ducted heat pumps. The installation process is easy since all you need is a three-inch hole in your wall for the refrigerant line to pass through. You probably won’t have trouble placing the compressor in a discreet location because it can connect to the mini-splits from as far as 50 feet away.

    Mini Split AC Benefits

    Mini-splits have all the following advantages.
    • A flexible design
    • Minimal energy loss
    • Zoning capabilities
    • Directional airflow

    By flexibility, we mean that you can situate the mini-split almost anywhere in your room without having to rethink the whole space layout. These systems have a stylish look that lets them blend in with their surroundings. Best of all, though, are the long-term savings, which justify the up-front cost.

    First, you won’t ever lose efficiency on account of leaky ductwork. Conditioned air loss through ductwork comprises over 30% of homeowner’s energy consumption. Second, zoning saves you money by allowing you to shut off cooling in unoccupied rooms. It also allows each occupant of your home to set the temperature to his or her liking.
