No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioning is a great option for homes that do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that are difficult to serve with conventional ducting. Unlike central AC systems, which rely on one unit in the attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the house, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units that are connected to a single outdoor condenser. The units can be positioned on walls or the ceiling, allowing for flexibility in both aesthetic and practical.

In addition, it is easier to install and maintain, a ductless system is more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can assist you in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature inside your home for all of its inhabitants.

They are extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters periodically. Additionally, regular maintenance by a professional technician will ensure the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as possible.

Many people choose to utilize ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are ideal for adding a second space 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 advantage of ductless systems is that they are more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, ductless systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year by obtaining the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are more efficient when you add a heat pump, which also cools and heats your home.

Energy Efficient

One of the primary advantages of ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to reduce your energy consumption and save you money. They do this by actively cooling the areas of your home that are used. This makes them ideal for homes with a new garage or addition 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, which is then delivered to the individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers themselves run with a smaller amount of power to cool a home that has ductwork as they don’t require as much energy to move and control temperatures. This allows the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated ductless unit.

Additionally, it only takes about 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is a lot smaller than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by a typical HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home works independently from the other that is why you can cool your bedrooms while leaving the living area at a higher temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler also has its own thermostat that is programmable, which allows you to fine-tune the temperature according to the preferences of each family member.

Many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to improve. When you make this decision, your existing heating and cooling system might be overworked by trying to control temperatures in an additional area of your house without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be installed in these areas to give you independent temperature control and help your home avoid unnecessary cooling or heating. This will lower your energy costs and your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if are working with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer will only need to drill a small opening into the drywall to allow for piping. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps that secure the piping and affixed to the wall.

The cooling power of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can cool rooms 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 to cool your entire home.

Certain ductless systems include several indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat so that 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 within your office or home.

It is very useful to be able to regulate the temperature in every zone of your home, especially when you have a lot of people living with you who have different preferences for temperature. You can save money using the ductless system by cooling only those rooms that are occupied.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are typically more affordable to run than traditional AC systems. They also reduce any energy loss that could be caused by leaking air ducts. This can decrease the efficiency of your system. This will help keep your energy bills at a lower level throughout the year long. You can cut down on energy usage by selecting a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has higher SEER ratings will be more efficient, which means it will use less energy to cool your home.

A ductless system can help you save money by offering comfort in zones. Using a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room in your home. You can maintain your bedroom and living space at different temperatures without having an impact on other rooms in your home. This feature is especially beneficial if you have children or pets who spend a lot of their time in one room.

The ductless system is similar to a heat-pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler blows air on the evaporator coils that 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 placed in a variety of locations such as an attic, garage, or home addition.

Mini-split ductless systems can be used as standalone units or in combination to cool the entire house. They are great for retrofitting an existing home or adding air conditioning as well as for renovations or new construction where there’s no room or budget to install air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes with low ceilings such as in an attic conversion or garage.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small dwelling and connects only one indoor air handler to an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via one condenser. This lets you independently control the temperature of each room, which is particularly useful for large homes.
