Question:

Are mini-splits efficient?

Answer:

Yes, mini-split HVAC systems are widely recognized for their high efficiency in both cooling and heating. The ductless design of a mini-split eliminates energy loss typically associated with traditional ductwork, which can degrade over time, leading to leaks and inefficiencies. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that duct losses can contribute to more than 30% of energy consumption for air conditioning, leading to increased energy usage and higher utility bills.
