Put Your Ducts in a Row

Traditional furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps are fine for newer homes, but they may not always be the ideal fit for keeping Northfield’s older homes, families that have added a room, or living spaces whose heating requirements differ from the rest of the house. In these circumstances, a ductless mini-split system offers a cost-effective solution for both heating and cooling.

Many historic Northfield homes were built before modern HVAC systems were available. Installing ductwork for central air in these structures can be prohibitively expensive and could detract from their period appeal. A mini-split system provides an efficient climate-control alternative that does not demand extensive renovations.

If you’ve added a sunroom, converted garage into a man cave or she shed, or turned your attic into a granny flat, connecting these spaces to your existing HVAC may not be feasible. A ductless mini split offers independent temperature control without extending ductwork. Similarly, you may want to create distinct areas in your home with separate thermostats, such as when accommodating a multi-generational household or converting a home into apartment units.

Duct and Cover: How Mini Splits Work

Ductless mini-split systems overcome the limitations traditional ducted airflow setups face. Each mini split system connects an outdoor compressor to one or more indoor units equipped with evaporator coils. Refrigerant circulates through the coils to heat or cool the air directly in the rooms where they’re installed. For cooling, the system absorbs warm air from the room and transfers it outside. In heating mode, the process is reversed, with the system extracting heat from outdoor air (even in cold temperatures) and bringing it indoors. This direct approach enhances efficiency and allows for individual temperature control in each room.

Since there are no ducts, there is less opportunity for the conditioned air and the energy required to exchange it between indoor and outdoor environments to be lost.

Mini splits can easily manage the heating and cooling needs of an entire house via the network of indoor units, all connected to a single outdoor compressor. They’re infinitely scalable, allowing homeowners to add indoor units as living spaces expand or are repurposed.
