Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is the ideal option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will assist you in selecting the appropriate size system for your home, and will take care of all installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are also perfect for the addition of new rooms to your home or for older homes without ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy efficient and efficient.
No Need for Ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic option for homes that do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that would be difficult to service with traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems, which rely on a unit in the attic and ducts for air distribution throughout the house, utilizes separate indoor units that are connected to an outside condenser. They can be hung on the ceiling or wall and offer versatility in terms of aesthetics and functional.
In addition to being simpler to install, a ductless system is a more efficient option. 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 reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature inside your home for all of its inhabitants.
These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters on a regular basis. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system functions as efficiently and smoothly as it is possible for the duration of time it can.
Many people choose to utilize ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are perfect for adding an extra room to a home and for converting garages or basement into a living space, and for increasing the temperature in rooms that’s often too hot or cold.
Another benefit of ductless systems is that they are much more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, ductless systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year with the energy STAR certification. These systems can be more efficient if you have a heat pump, which also cools and heats your home.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is a major reason to consider them. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to decrease your energy usage and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your house 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 using ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is converted into direct current and fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers run with a fraction of the power needed to cool a whole home with ductwork because they don’t need to work as hard to move and regulate temperatures. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t come with a system that is ductless.
In addition, it requires around 3 inches on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.
Each air handler is independent, so you can cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living room at the same temperature. This will save energy because it won’t be cooling. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, so you can adjust it to suit the preferences of the family members.
As the economy continues to recover many people are contemplating the possibility of adding a gym to their home or bedroom home improvement. If you decide to add a gym at home, a bedroom, or any other accessory to your home your heating and cooling system may be overworked trying to regulate the temperature in another part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will let you regulate the temperature on your own and prevent your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will help you save on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, particularly when you have an experienced HVAC company. They are typically mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer needs to drill a small opening in the wall to accommodate the pipes. The ductless system is then attached to the house by using clamps that secure the piping and affixed to the wall.
The cooling power of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can easily cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless system in order to cool a large home with many floors.
Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, which means that the occupants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to get true cooling zoning within your office or home.
It is extremely useful to be able to regulate the temperature in each zone of your home, particularly when you have several people living with you who have different preferences for temperature. You can save money using the ductless system by cooling only rooms that are in use.

Our manual for maintenance on ductless systems will provide you with more information about keeping your system in good condition.
Save Money
Ductless air conditioning 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 drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This will aid in keeping your energy costs at a lower level throughout the year. You can further reduce your energy consumption by selecting a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system with an increased SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
A ductless system will also save you money by offering zones of comfort. By using a remote control you can adjust the temperature for each room in your house. This lets you keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is particularly useful when your pets or children spend most of their time in one room.
A ductless system operates similar to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air through evaporator coils which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, then it is ejected outside via a small hole in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of locations, including an attic, home addition or garage.
Mini-split ductless systems are utilized as stand-alone units, or in combination to provide cooling for the entire home. They are ideal for retrofitting an existing home or adding air conditioning, as well as for new construction or renovations where there is no space or budget to install air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes with low ceilings, such as an attic or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool small homes, and connects only one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperature of each room independently, which can be especially helpful for large homes.
