Ductless mini split heat pumps are becoming trendy
I’ve noticed over the last few years how much the retro and vintage look have come back into style.
Everyone wants to look original, but in the effort of obtaining vintage items, you kind of become unoriginal.
I think that this trend will continue for a while, and I can get down with that. My dad works in the air conditioning business, and he has even noticed the retro trend taking over in that industry. Most people used to enjoy central heating, but lots of younger folks are opting for ductless mini split heat pumps. I think many people are moving into historic homes and neighborhoods that have older air conditioning and heating systems. Many older homes actually don’t have air vents or ductwork. Instead of installing a central system, people are opting for the ductless heat pumps since they don’t require any ductwork installation. But I think a huge bonus of it is that they offer that vintage and retro look to any room. Ductless heat pumps are an eyesore and traditionally don’t match anything else in the room, but I guess that’s what makes it retro and cool looking. Ductless mini splits are actually a cost effective and energy efficient option though, so I’m not mad that it’s becoming more popular these days. Central heaters tend to be costly and waste more than they provide. It’s enlightening to see how this generation is automatically becoming more sustainable simply because they are trying to copy what people used to do. It kind of makes you think of the phrase “don’t fix what isn’t broken”.
