Ductless mini splits are the perfect solution for older Pittsburgh homes that struggle with inconsistent heating and cooling. Many of these early 1900s residences don’t have existing ductwork, so homeowners can’t install a typical ducted system as easily.
MW Mechanical Services is an expert in mini split installation. We’re a local company that understands the unique needs of homes in the community, and we take a building science approach to our workmanship. We believe in using hard data and science to improve the efficiency and comfort of local residences, and we always respect our customers by giving them options. We’re proud to be Northern Pittsburgh’s trusted hometown heat pump installer.
Reasons to Install a Mini Split in Your Pittsburgh Home
1. Ductless Systems Are Easy to Install
You can install a mini split practically anywhere in your home. Many people have rooms that are not adequately heated or cooled by their existing HVAC, so you can install a mini split to complement your existing system.
Mini splits are also a good solution for homes that have ductwork but don’t want to extend it to a garage, basement, or bonus room.
2. Ductless Systems Are Incredibly Efficient
Most ductless systems have variable-speed air handlers that start working at full speed, then switch to a slower speed when they reach the desired temperature, which saves energy. Heat pumps themselves are very efficient. They transfer heat instead of generating it, requiring less energy to produce heating and cooling. This helps you save on your utility bill.
3. Ductless Heat Pumps Don’t Alter Historic Homes
Ductless mini splits are great for the Greater Pittsburgh area’s older homes, because they can be installed without tearing up historic walls. With mini splits, the heat pump is installed on the outside of the home, and small refrigerant lines run through the walls to air handlers. There’s no need to cut large openings for ductwork, which significantly alters the home.
4. Ductless Systems Operate in All Climates
You can install a cold-climate ductless heat pump that gets the job done in nearly all temperatures. In addition, ductless mini split heat pumps provide heating and cooling. You can achieve year-round comfort with just one, easy-to-maintain HVAC system.
5. Ductless Systems Let You Heat and Cool Rooms Independently
Add more than one air handler to your home to create a zone control system. Each indoor unit has a thermostat, allowing you to create multiple temperature zones under the same roof. Why pay for air conditioning in an empty room?
