Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
A ductless air conditioning system is the best option for cooling homes without ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians can assist you in choosing the right size system for your home and will handle the installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are great for adding new features to your home or older homes which do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and energy efficient.
No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic option for homes that do not have ductwork in place or rooms that are difficult to service by traditional ducting. In contrast to central AC systems that rely on a single unit in the attic and ducts to move air throughout the home the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units that are connected to a single outdoor condenser. These units can be mounted on the ceiling or wall and provide a variety of aesthetics and functional.
In addition, it is easier to install and set up, a ductless system can be an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by cooling and heating the rooms that are being used. This is a great method to reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature inside your home for all its occupants.
These systems are also very easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters periodically. In addition, regular maintenance by a skilled technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as is feasible.
Many people choose ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They are great for adding an extra room to a home, for converting a garage or basement into a living space, and for increasing the temperature in a room that’s often too hot or cold.
Another advantage of the ductless system is that they are more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year by obtaining the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are also more efficient when combined with a heat pump that cools and heats the house.

Energy efficient
One of the primary reasons to opt for ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re much more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and save you money by proactively cooling the areas of your house that are occupied. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or new garage, or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it into direct current that is delivered to the individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers consume a fraction of power to cool a home with ductwork, because they do not have to work as hard in order to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows for a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that does not have a ductless unit.
Furthermore, it takes around 3 inches on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting required by a HVAC system.
Each air handler is independent and can therefore cool your bedrooms while keeping the living space at a higher temperature. This will help save energy because it won’t be cooled. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, so you can fine-tune it to the preferences of each family member.
Many people are considering building a home gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to grow. If you add a home gym, bedroom or another accessory to your home your heating and cooling system may be overworked trying to control the temperature in an part of your home that is not served by ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be installed in these areas to provide you with a separate temperature control, and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This can reduce your energy costs and your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are relatively easy to install, especially when you work with an experienced HVAC company. These units are often mounted high up on an exterior wall, and the installer just has to cut a tiny hole into the drywall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system is joined to the home with clamps to secure the piping.
The cooling power of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can easily cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. If you have a large home with multiple stories you may need to add more than one ductless unit to cool your entire home.
Some ductless systems have several indoor units linked to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, allowing the inhabitants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to create cooling zones in your home or business.
It is very useful to be able to regulate the temperature in every zone of your house, especially when you have a lot of people living with you who have different preferences for temperature. With the ductless air conditioning system it is possible to cool only the spaces that are occupied and save money by not cooling empty rooms.
If you’re thinking of upgrading your current AC to a new ductless system or adding air conditioning to the gym or garage contact us now. We’ll assist you in selecting the best ductless air conditioner to meet your needs, and take care of all installation and maintenance.
To maximize the efficiency of your ductless system, you need to conduct regular maintenance. This includes changing the air filter as well as cleaning and inspecting the condenser and evaporator coils. Our technicians can help you develop a maintenance plan that is suitable for your ductless system and the space it serves. The ductless maintenance manual will teach you more about maintaining your system.
Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are typically cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which could greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This will aid in keeping your energy costs at a lower level throughout the year long. You can further minimize your energy use by choosing an ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system with a higher SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
Another way in which ductless systems can save you money is by offering zones of comfort. By using a remote control you can adjust the temperature for each room in your house. You can keep your bedroom and living space at different temperatures without having an impact on other rooms in your home. This feature can be particularly useful if you have pets or children who spend much of their time in a single room.
A ductless system works similar to a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air and is then ejected outside via a small gap in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be installed in a variety of locations, such as in an attic, a home addition or garage.
Ductless mini-split systems can work as standalone units or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are ideal for retrofitting an old home or adding air conditioning, and also for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes that have low ceilings, such as an attic or garage.
A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool homes with small spaces and connects one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This allows you to control the temperature of each space in a way that is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
