Temperatures have dipped in Texas and winter is on our doorstep. Though most houses are equipped with heating via an HVAC system, many people still want to have supplemental heating options for extra cold days or cold spots in their homes. Portable heaters have been an option for years and have improved over time, but portable space heaters have limited use. For permanent supplemental heating solutions, other safer heating options are available.
Mini-split heating and air conditioning units are one of the most popular permanent HVAC solutions on the market these days. These units are actually heat pumps that can be used as ductless supplemental heat sources that transfer and distribute heat throughout a space without using the main HVAC system ductwork, or in homes that do not have any ductwork. They allow for heat to be transferred through a cycle of evaporation and condensation and are controlled by a thermostat.
Mini-split systems provide many benefits to homeowners who choose to add them to their home heating arsenal. They are very efficient and compact heaters that do not take up extra floor space, as they are mounted high on the wall(s) of a home; and they are extremely easy to install. These heating systems also have modern electronic features, such as timers and remote controls, that make them easy to use and to customize according to the homeowners’ comfort preferences.
Mini-split heating systems provide supplemental warmth without the use of any ductwork, but still in an energy-efficient way, which helps reduce energy costs. Unlike most traditional ducted systems, which often have heat losses of about 20 to 30 percent of the heated air as it escapes through leaks, poor connections, or holes in the ductwork, ductless mini-split systems are one of the most energy-efficient systems available. They are long-lasting heating systems, so units with the best seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) are important in Texas, for savings on long-term operating costs. And when temperatures rise again, these systems become supplemental cooling solutions for the hottest of Texan days!
Mini-split systems require proper sizing and installation, so it is critical to consult professional HVAC installation specialists like the team at The Coolest LLC to make sure that the system is the appropriate size for the space, that the sealant around the unit is done correctly, and that the sensitive electronic components are not mishandled.
