No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioning is a great solution for homes that do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that are difficult to serve with conventional ducting. Unlike central AC systems that use one unit in an attic, and ducts to circulate air throughout the house, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units that are connected to an outdoor condenser. The units can be positioned on walls or the ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetic and practical.

A ductless system isn’t just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will assist you in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling only the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to cut down on waste and maintain your home at the ideal temperature for all occupants.

They are extremely simple to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be easily cleaned by cleaning the filters and running an occasional defroster. Additionally regular maintenance performed by a trained technician will ensure the system runs smoothly and effectively for as long as it is possible.

Many people choose to utilize ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to add an extra space or convert a garage or basement to living space, or boost the temperature of a room that is often too hot or cold.

A ductless system has the benefit of being much more cost-effective than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year by obtaining the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are even more efficient when they are combined with a heat pump, which heats and cools the home.

Energy Efficient

One of the main reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and save you money by proactively cooling the areas of your home that are used. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or garage that is new, or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it into direct current that is directed through the air handlers inside your home. The air handlers use less power to cool a home with ductwork, because they don’t have to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This lets the system attain higher SEER ratings than an ordinary AC system that doesn’t come with a air ductless unit.

Additionally, it only takes about 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is a lot smaller than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by a standard HVAC system.

Each air handler functions independently and can therefore cool your bedrooms and keep the living area at a higher temperature. This will save energy because it won’t be cooled. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, which means you can adjust it to suit the preferences of each family member.

As the economy continues to improve many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom improvements to their home. When you do this, your existing heating and cooling system might be overwhelmed by the need to regulate temperatures in an additional part of your home without ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be put in these spaces to give you independent temperature control and aid in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This can reduce your energy costs and also your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively easy, especially if you work with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer only needs to drill a tiny hole into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system will be connected to the house using clamps to hold the piping.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. If you have a large house with multiple stories, you may need to add more than one ductless unit in order to cool the entire house.

Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its thermostat, which means that the people in each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.

It is extremely beneficial to to control the temperature in every zone of your house, especially if you have multiple people living with you who are accustomed to different temperatures. You can save money with a ductless system by cooling only the rooms that are occupied.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are typically less expensive to run than traditional AC systems. They also reduce any energy loss that could be caused by leaks in air ducts. This could reduce the effectiveness of your system. This will help keep your energy costs at a lower level throughout the year long. You can cut down on energy usage by selecting the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with an increase in SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.

Another way a ductless system can save you money is by providing zones of comfort. You can make use of a remote control in order to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This lets you keep the living room and bedrooms at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature can be especially beneficial if you have children or pets who spend a lot of their time in a single room.

The ductless system functions similar to a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, also known as an air handler is able to blow air over the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, then it is ejected outside via small holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in a variety of places such as garages, attics, or home addition.

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 renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They are an excellent option for homes that have low ceilings such as garages or attics.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small home, and it connects just one indoor air handler to an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This allows you to control the temperature of each space in a way that is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
