The bad news, if you live in Chicago, is that as stifling hot and humid as our summers get, our winters get just as bitterly cold. The good news, however, is that there is one HVAC system that can handle all of that: the ductless mini-split.
This HVAC system provides numerous benefits—particularly for homeowners who do not have any ductwork installed and/or do not have the space to install ductwork. Many times, homeowners choose to go with window units instead of central AC if they can do air ducts, but these types of AC systems are highly inefficient.
