Four ways a ductless mini-split may lower your energy bills include inverter technology, improved air circulation, heat transfer versus heat generation, and zoned HVAC. Exploring these four factors should give you a better idea of why a ductless mini-split uses less energy and how it can better keep your home comfortable.
