Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate comfort in your home is made possible by ductless cooling and heating. These systems offer individualized comfort zones as well as cost savings, and much more.
Ductless systems comprise of an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers that are used to cool or heat specific rooms in your house. They replace baseboard electric heating systems as well as window air conditioners and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are perfect for homeowners who need greater control over their heating and cooling. They don’t require ductwork, and can be put in on areas like sunrooms and garages. These mini-split systems are also highly energy efficient and can help you save money on your energy bills.
They make use of an outdoor unit of a smaller size to generate heat by drawing air outside, and then transfer the heat inside to keep you warm in winter. In summer, they switch to act as air conditioners, removing heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems are more quiet than traditional ones and the indoor air-handling units have built-in filters to improve your home’s air quality.
With ductless heating, you can alter the temperature in each space individually. This is perfect for families with different tastes. Each air handler for indoor use comes equipped with its own thermostat, allowing you to adjust it according to your family’s requirements and lifestyle. This degree of personalization means that everyone in your family can enjoy their ideal living space.
These systems are more energy-efficient than conventional furnaces and air conditioners because they don’t need to cool or heat your entire home in one go. They are able to save energy since they don’t need to be as efficient in order to maintain the temperature at a comfortable level.
The absence of ducts helps reduce energy consumption, which in turn cuts down on your cooling and heating costs. The ductless system will be even more efficient if you select a high-efficiency unit that uses eco-friendly refrigeration.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use, ductless systems are also quieter and easier to install than traditional HVAC systems. They can be hung on ceilings or walls, and their compact design makes it less noticeable than ductwork. They can also be installed more easily in new construction or renovations than traditional systems. With their simple to use smart controls you’ll be able track your energy consumption and alter your settings remotely via either a smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are unique in design that offers greater energy efficiency than forced-air systems. These systems include an outdoor unit along with one or more indoor air handlers, all connected by flexible piping that carries refrigerant and electricity to create heat transfer. The absence of ductwork reduces the amount of waste and thermal leakage that is associated with duct systems. This translates into more energy efficiency and lower costs. Furthermore because these systems don’t use combustible fuel to operate they don’t generate harmful emissions or carbon dioxide which makes them an environmentally friendly choice for your home or business.
A ductless system can provide the comfort you need in a zone to meet your specific needs which means you don’t need to sacrifice energy efficiency to get the ideal temperature for your air. You can cool your master bedroom to 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms. This conserves energy and makes the whole family content.
The same applies to heating your home. You can set your home office, basement or any other room that has an air handler set at an appropriate temperature to guarantee the comfort of a consistent and comfortable heat throughout your home. Also, you don’t have to worry about wasting energy if you leave a room for a while, as you can simply switch on the heating in that area using the remote control.
A ductless system can be utilized to cool or heat small spaces or a spare room. It can also help you save money throughout the year. It can even replace a portable air conditioner and lower your energy bills by providing heating and cooling for your space.
A ductless system can also be a great replacement for space heaters. It will free you from having to use multiple air conditioners in the summer, and space heaters in the winter. It also improves indoor air quality and gives your home a more sleek appearance. It’s no surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly popular.
Easy Installation
Ductless mini-split systems are designed to cool and heat areas that don’t have ductwork or where a new addition or renovation is not covered by the expense of installing ductwork. A ductless system is ideal for rooms that have been renovated, such as homes, sunrooms, home additions and basements that have been renovated. It’s also great for office kiosks or residential spaces that are not being used. Each indoor unit in a multi-zone or single-zone solution has its own thermostat. This lets you cool and heat the rooms you use at any time.
Installation of a air ductless HVAC system is much simpler and more affordable than traditional systems, as there is no requirement for ductwork. A licensed technician will place the outdoor unit on a concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers in your home. The installers will connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit, which houses the equipment, control wiring, and refrigerant lines. Depending on the size of your house several indoor units might be required to be put in place to ensure maximum comfort.
Ductless systems are environmentally friendly due to their high energy efficiency. They don’t add to the amount of waste produced by a typical household, and they significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the home.
Ductless systems come with some of the highest SEER ratings in the market, allowing homeowners to enjoy substantial savings on their heating and cooling costs. Comparing to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s best performing ductless systems can offer up to 50 percent in savings on energy bills each month.
To keep it running optimally, a ductless system requires minimal maintenance. Typically, you’ll need to clean the air filters once a month, and we recommend scheduling regular professional services. This will ensure your ductless system continues to operate efficiently and effectively for many years to come. In reality the ductless system can last for up to 25 years with regular care and maintenance. Our experienced technicians are happy to answer any questions you might have about ductless heating and cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems provide many maintenance benefits that aren’t offered by traditional HVAC equipment. Efficiency in energy is among the benefits, as it reduces operating costs and has a positive impact on the environment. The absence of ductwork allows to maintain a high indoor air quality. The ductwork in a home’s traditional HVAC system may be contaminated by dirt grime, pet dander, bacteria, rodent droppings, and more. The inconspicuous units of ductless systems are easy to clean and maintain.
Additionally the fact that HVAC systems that are ductless are also less expensive to set up than traditional HVACs. This is due to the fact that ductwork installation is labor-intensive and expensive, particularly for older homes with uninsulated walls and ceilings. The noninvasive nature of a ductless HVAC system’s installation process that involves the mounting of indoor and outdoor units, eliminates this cost and can be completed in one day.
When comparing ductless HVAC systems to window-style systems, they are quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the systems, as well as how efficient they are. They also require significantly less maintenance, with just the occasional need to replace an air filter or conduct an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are an an excellent option for retrofits or new construction. They can be used to replace less efficient air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can be installed in condos, apartments and mobile homes where ductwork isn’t feasible.
