No need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioning is an excellent solution for homes that either don’t have existing ductwork or rooms that are difficult to service by traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems, which rely on an attic unit and ducts for distribution of air throughout the home, employs individual indoor units connected to an outside condenser. The units can be positioned on the walls or ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetic and functionality.

A ductless system isn’t only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can aid in reducing your energy costs by heating and cooling the rooms that are used. This is a great way to cut down on energy consumption and keep your home at a perfect temperature for all occupants.

They are also easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters on a regular basis. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system functions as efficiently and smoothly as possible for as long as it can.

Many people choose ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They are great to add an extra space to a house and for converting garages or basement into a living space, and for increasing the temperature in a room that’s often too hot or cold.

Another benefit of ductless systems is that they are more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year with the energy STAR certification. These systems can be more efficient when you add a heat pump, which both heats and cools your home.

Energy Efficient

One of the main reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to reduce your energy consumption and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your house that are used. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or garage that is new, or rooms that are hard to heat and cool using ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is transformed into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers run using a small fraction of the power needed to cool a whole home that has ductwork as they don’t have to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that doesn’t have a ductless system.

It takes just 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by a standard HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home operates independently of the others and this means that you can cool the bedrooms, but leave the living area at a higher temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own thermostat that is programmable, which can be used to adjust the temperature according to the preferences of each family member.

As the economy continues to grow many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom home improvement. If you are planning to add a home gym, bedroom or another accessory to your home the heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed trying to control the temperature in an part of your home that is not served by ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be installed in these areas to give you a more independent temperature control and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This will lower your energy bills and also your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are fairly easy to install, especially when you have an experienced HVAC company. They are typically mounted high up on an exterior wall, and the installer only needs to cut a tiny hole in the drywall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system will be joined to the home with clamps to secure the piping.

The cooling power of a single ductless unit can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it is able to cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless unit to cool a large house with many floors.

Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, so that the occupants of each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to create a true cooling zone within your office or home.

Having the ability to regulate each room in your house is especially beneficial when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. You can save money by using an ductless system that cools only those rooms that are used.

The ductless unit is the same as a heat-pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler blows air on the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant is able to absorb heat from the air and then ejected outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in many different places such as garages, attics, or home addition.

Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units or in combination to cool the entire house. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house, as well as new construction or renovations that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings, such as in an attic conversion or garage.

A single-zone ductless unit is typically enough to cool small homes and connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with the use of a single condenser. This lets you individually regulate the temperature in each room, which is particularly useful for large homes.
