No Need for Ductwork

Ductless air conditioning is a great option for homes that don’t have existing ductwork or rooms that would be difficult to service with traditional ducting. Unlike central AC systems, which rely on one unit in an attic, and ducts to circulate air throughout the home, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units that are connected to one outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on the walls or ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetics and functional.

In addition, it is easier to install, a ductless system is more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by heating and cooling the rooms that are actually in use.

Energy efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is one of the main reasons to choose them. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and help you save money by proactively cooling the areas of your home that are used. These systems are perfect for homes with a new garage or addition 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 to direct current that is fed through individual air handlers in your home. The air handlers consume less power to cool a home, as they don’t need to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This enables the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t come with a air ductless unit.

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 each indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home functions independently from the others and this means that you can cool the bedrooms, while leaving the living space at a higher temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own temperature control, meaning you can tailor it to the preferences of each member of your family.

As the economy continues to improve Many people are thinking about adding a home gym, bedroom, or other home improvement. If you add a gym at home, a bedroom or another addition to your house the heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed trying to regulate the temperature in another part of your home that is not served by ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be put in these spaces to provide you with a separate temperature control, and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This can help you save money on your energy costs and also 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 on the outside of a wall. The installer will only need to drill a small opening into the drywall to allow for pipe. The ductless system is then attached to the house by using clamps to secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms up 400 square feet. If you live in a house with multiple stories, you may need to add more than one ductless unit to cool your entire home.

Certain ductless systems have several indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat so the residents can set the temperature they would like to have in their individual room. This is a great method to create a true cooling zone at your office or home.

The ability to regulate each room within your home is beneficial when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. You can save money by using an ductless system that cools only rooms that are in use.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are typically less expensive to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss that may be caused by leaking the ductwork. This could reduce the effectiveness of your system. This can help reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can cut down on your energy usage by selecting an appliance that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will require less energy to cool your home.

Another way that a ductless system can help you save money is by providing zones of comfort. Using a remote control, you can choose different temperature settings for each room of your house. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly useful when your pets or children spend most of their time in a single room.

A ductless system works similarly to a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, then it is ejected outside via a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of locations such as garages, attics or even a home addition.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as a stand-alone unit or used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They are great for retrofitting an existing home or adding air conditioning as well as for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great option for homes with low ceilings like a garage or attic.

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