Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the best option for cooling homes with no ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will help you choose the right size system for your home, and will take care of all installation and maintenance.

Ductless systems are also ideal for the addition of new rooms to your home or for older homes that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and energy efficient.

There is no need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes without ductwork, or in rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to access. Unlike central AC systems that use one unit in the attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the house, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units that are connected to one outdoor condenser. These units can be mounted on walls or the ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetic and functionality.

In addition to being simpler to install, a ductless system is more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can save you money by heating and cooling rooms that are being used. This is a great way to reduce the amount of waste and maintain your home at the ideal temperature for all occupants.

These systems are very easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters regularly. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system operates as efficiently and smoothly as it is possible for as long as it can.

Many people opt to use ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They are great for adding an extra space to a home or for converting a garage or basement into living space and for boosting the temperature in a room that’s often too hot or cold.

Another advantage of ductless systems is that they are much more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems could save you hundreds of dollars per year. These systems are more efficient when paired with a heating system which cools and heats the home.

It’s important to work with an experienced HVAC company when deciding if the ductless system is suitable for you. The expert technicians at Garden City HVAC can answer any questions you may have and assist you to find the perfect ductless system to meet your needs. Contact them now to begin!

Energy Efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is one of the main reasons to go with them. These ENERGY START-certified systems are designed to reduce the energy use and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your home that are used. These systems are ideal for homes that have a new garage or addition, or rooms that are hard to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems utilize alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it to direct current that is directed through the air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves run with a smaller amount of power to cool a whole home using ductwork since they do not require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that doesn’t have a ductless unit.

Furthermore, it takes approximately 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting needed by a HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home operates independently from the other, which means you can cool your bedrooms, but leave the living space at a higher temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own temperature control, meaning you can tailor it to the preferences of each family member.

As the economy continues to grow, many people are thinking about the possibility of adding a gym to their home, bedroom, or other addition to their house. When you do this, your existing heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an extra area of your house without ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to manage the temperature in a way that is independent and prevent your home from being overheated or cooled. This will lower your energy costs and your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are relatively easy to install, particularly when you have an HVAC professional. They are typically mounted high up on an exterior wall, and the installer only needs to cut a tiny hole in the drywall and feed the piping into. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to secure the pipe.

The cooling power of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, which means it can easily cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. If you live in a house with multiple stories, you may need to add more than one ductless unit to cool the entire house.

Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, so that residents can set the temperature they would like to have in their own room. This is a great method to achieve true cooling zoning within your office or home.

It is very useful to to control the temperature of each area of your home, especially if you have multiple family members who prefer different temperatures. With an air conditioning system that is ductless it is possible to cool only those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.

If you’re considering upgrading your current AC to a new ductless unit or adding a cooling system to the gym or garage contact us now. We can help you choose the best ductless system for your requirements, and we’ll handle all the installation and maintenance services.

Getting the most out of your ductless system is dependent on proper maintenance, including regular filter replacements, as well as periodic cleaning and inspection of the evaporator coils as well as the condenser unit. Our technicians can assist you to develop a maintenance plan that is right for your ductless system and the space it serves. Our ductless maintenance manual will teach you more about maintaining your system.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are usually less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential loss of energy caused by leaky ductwork that can significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This can help keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can further minimize your energy use by choosing a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system that has a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will use less energy to cool your home.

A ductless system will also save you money by providing zoned comfort. With a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room of your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and the living room at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature is especially useful for families with pets who spend the majority of their time in a single room.

The ductless system is similar to a heat-pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) blows air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air and then released outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be installed in a variety of locations, such as in an attic, home addition or garage.

Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as standalone units or be combined to provide whole-home cooling. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence, as well as new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also an excellent choice for homes with low ceilings, like a converted attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small dwelling, and it connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via one condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperatures of each room in a way that is especially helpful for large homes.
