Is your bedroom hot and sweaty at night or too chilly for comfort? If your sleeping space leaves a lot to be desired in terms of heating and cooling, you may want to consider switching to ductless HVAC. Here are 8 great benefits of a mini-split in your bedroom and how Cape Cod Heat Pumps can help you get started.
1. Install Where You Want
Mini-splits can be mounted in a variety of different ways to fit your bedroom layout. Depending on your space, you can choose a wall mounted mini split, a floor mounted unit, or a recessed ceiling cassette.
2. Get Heat and AC
One of the most attractive features of ductless mini-splits is their ability to provide both heating and cooling in one unit. This eliminates the hassle and cost of buying and maintaining separate systems for each season.
3. Control Your Temperature
Off all the ductless benefits, individual temperature control is a real game-changer. The temperature of each indoor unit that you install can be adjusted separately from the rest of the house, which means you can have one unit set several degrees higher or lower than the rest if you prefer.
Plus, most mini-splits today come with remote controls or smartphone apps, so you can adjust your settings without getting out of bed.
4. Sleep Better
A comfortable bedroom is important for good rest and a good night’s sleep is critical for your health and well-being. Did you know that the temperature of your space plays a significant role?
According to the Sleep Foundation, the best room temperature for sleep is about 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. That means it should be a little bit colder in your bedroom at night than during the day or in other areas of your house. A mini-split can easily help create the ideal environment for sleep by minimizing noise and providing consistent, customizable temps.
5. Save Money
Having a mini-split in your bedroom can also help you save money in a few different ways. First, you simply won’t need to use as much electricity to achieve the same level of heating and cooling. This ultimately lowers your electric bill or reduces the amount of solar power you use if your home is connected to panels.
Second, you can also save money on your ductless HVAC installation when you apply for a rebate with Mass Save. This program was started by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2008 to help offset carbon emissions with a goal of reaching net zero by 2050. Qualifying home and business owners can receive thousands of dollars back on a new ductless installation, and just our customers have received over $1M in funds.
6. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Speaking of carbon footprint, if reducing your reliance on fossil fuels is important to you personally, switching to reducing your personal contribution to greenhouse gasses is important to you, using a mini-split heating can help. By switching to cleaner climate control, you can lower your reliance on harmful fossil fuels and create the foundation for a more sustainable future.
7. Add Smart Technology
If you want to add a programmable thermostat or be able to control the temperature in your bed from your phone, ductless HVAC allows you to do so with just a few simple upgrades.
8. Increase Your Home Value
You don’t have to add ductless to your entire home to increase its value. Even just outfitting your bedroom with a single mini split connected to an outdoor condenser can raise the sale price of your home by a few thousand dollars or more.
