You deserve to be able to stay cool during summer. That can be tough to accomplish in some cases though. If you have a home that can’t accommodate ductwork, you may be looking at battling with a window unit or, worse, a bunch of fans, in a desperate attempt to stay cool. On the other hand, if you do have ductwork you may be pensive about using your AC still because those ducts aren’t as reliable as they used to be but they are too pricey to fix up.

Should You Have a Ductless System Installed This Fall?

Monday, September 25th, 2017

ductless-mini-split-on-wallThe fall is one of the best times of the year to make major changes to a residential HVAC system. Transitioning between the heat of a Chicago summer into the cold of the winter is a period when you won’t have to rely heavily on either the AC or the heater, so it’s not difficult to arrange for a convenient time to have major repairs done, or to schedule annual maintenance for the heating system.

(It’s not too early to get on the schedule for a fall heating tune-up and inspection. Join our Max Comfort Plan today for superb whole-house maintenance.)

What if the work you need done is to have a new HVAC system installed? In that case, fall is definitely the right time to plan it. One of the options you might consider is a ductless mini split heat pump.

But going with a ductless air conditioning and heating system is a major change, and not right for every home. Let’s take a look at times when going with a ductless system is a good option.
