Mini Split Installation in Santee, CA

If you own a home, store, beauty salon or workshop and are looking for beneficial and convenient indoor climate control options, you will likely be interested in the state-of-the-art solutions Accord Air provides.

In cities like Santee, CA, ductless mini-split air conditioning systems are becoming increasingly popular. They resemble traditional central air conditioners, but functionally differentiate themselves with additional benefits for your space, which we’ll tell you about right now.

WHAT IS A MINI-SPLIT?

At its core, a ductless mini-split system includes an external compressor and an internal box (possibly multiple units) . The installation of the entire system is usually not difficult or time consuming for professionals , as there is no ductwork required for the process. In Santee, CA, companies like Accord Air often install these compact units in small homes, service showrooms, and apartment complexes.

While both ductless and classic central HVAC systems aim to regulate temperature, choosing the best option depends very much on the specific preferences of the consumer. To get the right results, it’s important to consider the pros and cons of mini-split systems.

What benefits can you derive from a mini split installation? 

Here’s why this choice may be the best decision you can make:

• Energy efficiency: Almost all mini splits boast remarkable energy efficiency. Each apartment is equipped with a separate, easily adjustable unit, eliminating the need to use or install ductwork and ensuring minimal energy loss. When not in use, the unit can be turned off in unused rooms and thus reduce energy costs.
• Simplified installation: Installing a mini split system is a quick and usually affordable endeavor. Connecting the units will require drilling a small hole in the wall, which is then sealed.  This advantage is often the reason why mini splits lead the way among other HVAC systems.  
• Versatile design options: With a mini-split, you can choose the unit that best fits the design of the room – from wall-mounted and freestanding models to ceiling-mounted built-in cassettes and concealed ductwork.
• Individual comfort settings: You can set unique temperatures in different rooms to ensure individual comfort throughout your living space. For example, the bedroom can be kept at a lower temperature than the living room, allowing you to meet everyone’s personal preferences.
• Minimal maintenance: Due to their simple design and small size, mini-split systems are relatively easy to maintain.
• Compact: Mini-split systems are ideal for homes that can’t accommodate bulky ductwork and save space. Their miniature size is ideal for homes that don’t have enough attic or basement space for traditional systems.

DISADVANTAGES OF DUCTLESS MINI-SPLITS 

Visual: Although ducted mini-split air conditioners are usually available in discrete colors such as white, their appearance may not blend in with your home’s interior design. However, there are various models that may better suit your aesthetic requirements.

Initial Costs: Although installing these systems may be cheaper than installing conventional central air conditioning units, the initial costs can be significantly higher – about 30% more accurately. This estimate does not include the cost of ductwork required for central air conditioning systems.

Routine Maintenance: Ducted mini-split systems require regular maintenance to operate efficiently. Monthly filter cleaning is necessary; neglecting this can lead to dirt and dust buildup, which can reduce system efficiency.
