No Need for Ductwork

Ductless air conditioning is an excellent solution for homes that either don’t have existing ductwork or for rooms that are difficult to service with conventional ducting. In contrast to central AC systems that rely on a single unit in an attic, and ducts to circulate air throughout the house the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units linked to an outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and provide a variety of design and function.

In addition to being easier to install and set up, a ductless system can be more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can aid in saving energy by heating and cooling rooms that are being used. This is a great way to reduce waste while maintaining the ideal temperature in your home for all of its inhabitants.

They are also easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by cleaning the filters and running the defroster regularly. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system is operating as efficiently and smoothly as possible for the duration of time it can.

Many people choose to utilize ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are great for adding a second space to a house and for converting garages or basement into living space and also for boosting the temperature in rooms that’s often too hot or too cold.

Another benefit of ductless systems is that they are more affordable than the latest, high efficiency, ducted systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems could save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems are also more efficient when they are combined with a heat pump that cools and heats the home.

Energy Efficient

The fact that ductless systems are less energy-intensive than conventional cooling and heating systems is an important reason to consider them. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and save you money by cooling only the areas of your home that are used. This makes them ideal for homes that have a new addition or garage or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is transformed into direct current and then fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers themselves operate using a small less power than what is needed to cool the entire home using ductwork since they do not require as much energy to move and control temperatures. This lets the system achieve higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t have a system that is ductless.

In addition, it requires about 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by a typical HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home works independently of the others that is why you can cool your bedrooms, but leave the living space at a higher temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, which means you can fine-tune it to suit the preferences of each family member.

Many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to improve. If you decide to add a home gym, bedroom or another home improvement your heating and air conditioning system could be overwhelmed trying to regulate the temperature in a different area of your home without ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be put in these spaces to give you a more independent temperature control and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This will lower your energy costs and your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, especially when you are working with an experienced HVAC company. They are usually mounted high up on an exterior wall, so the installer needs to drill a small hole into the drywall and feed the piping into. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to secure the pipe.

A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms to 400 square feet. You may need more than one ductless system in order to cool a large house with many floors.

Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit comes with its own thermostat so that residents can set the temperature they prefer in their individual room. This is an excellent way to create cooling zones within your business or home.

It is extremely useful to to control the temperature in each zone of your home, especially if you have multiple people living with you who have different preferences for temperature. With the ductless air conditioning system you can only cool the areas that are used and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are usually more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of energy loss caused by leaky ductwork that can significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This can help to reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can also reduce your energy usage by selecting a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system with an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will require less energy to cool your home.

Another way in which a ductless system can save you money is through providing zones of comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms in your house. This feature is particularly useful if your children or pets spend most of their time in a single room.

A ductless system operates similarly to a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) blows air over evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, then it’s removed outside through small holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be installed in a variety of locations, including an attic, a home addition or garage.

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

A single-zone ductless unit is typically sufficient to cool small houses and connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This lets you individually regulate the temperature of each room, which is particularly suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
