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. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems which use a unit in the attic and ducts to distribute air throughout the home, employs individual indoor units linked to the outside condenser. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and offer a range of aesthetics and functionality.

A ductless system isn’t just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can aid in reducing your energy consumption by heating and cooling only the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce waste and keep the ideal temperature in your home for all its inhabitants.

These systems are easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by washing the filters and running the defroster regularly. Additionally regular maintenance by a professional technician will ensure the system runs smoothly and effectively for as long as is feasible.

Energy Efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is one of the main reasons to choose them. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to cut down on your energy consumption and save you money. They do this by actively cooling areas of your home which are not being used. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or new garage, or rooms that are hard to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it into direct current which is delivered to the individual air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves operate using a small fraction of the power needed to cool a whole home using ductwork since they don’t require as much energy to move and control temperatures. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated ductless unit.

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

Each air handler in your home works independently from the others and this means that you can cool the bedrooms, while leaving the living space at a warmer temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler also has its own thermostat programmable, which allows you to fine-tune the temperature based on the preferences of each family member.

As the economy continues to recover Many people are thinking about building a gym in their home or bedroom home improvement. When you do this, your existing heating and cooling system may be overworked by trying to regulate temperatures in an additional part of your home without ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to regulate the temperature on your own and keep your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will help you save on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if you have an experienced HVAC company. These units are usually mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer only needs to drill a tiny hole into the drywall to allow for pipe. The ductless system then gets joined to the house using clamps to secure the piping and affixed to the wall.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless unit can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. If you live in a home with multiple stories you may need to add more than one ductless unit in order to cool your entire home.

Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, allowing the people in each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.

Being able to regulate each room in your home is useful when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. You can save money using an ductless system that cools only those rooms that are in use.

This could reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help keep your energy bills lower all year. You can further reduce your energy use by choosing a ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system with a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will require less energy to cool your home.

Another way ductless systems can help you save money is through providing zones of comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. You can keep your bedroom and living room at different temperatures without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature can be particularly useful for families with pets or children who spend the majority of their time in one room.

The ductless unit is similar to a heat-pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) blows air through the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and is then released outside through tiny holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be placed in a variety of locations such as garages, attics, or even a home addition.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or be used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house, as well as new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings, such as a garage or attic.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool a small home and connects one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This lets you independently control the temperature of each room, which is particularly useful for large homes.
