Ductless systems can be used in older homes or new additions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy efficient and energy efficient.

No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes without ductwork, or for rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to reach. Contrary to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in an attic and ducts to move air throughout the home the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units linked to one outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the ceiling or wall and offer versatility in terms of design and function.

A ductless system is not only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can aid in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling only the rooms that are used. This is a great way to reduce waste while maintaining the perfect temperature in your home for all its occupants.

They are also easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by simply washing the filters and using an occasional defroster. In addition regular maintenance performed by a professional technician will ensure that the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.

Many people choose to utilize ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to add an additional room or convert a garage basement to living space, or boost the temperature of a room which is often too hot or cold.

Another benefit of the ductless system is that they are more cost-effective than modern, high efficiency, ducted systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems can be more efficient with a heat pump, which both heats and cools your home.

Energy efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is one of the main reasons to consider them. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to decrease energy use and save you money by proactively cooling the areas of your house that are used. This makes them ideal for homes with a new garage or an addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it into direct current, which is then fed through individual air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves operate using a small smaller amount of power to cool a whole home that has ductwork as they do not require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that doesn’t include a ductless unit.

It only takes 3 inches to connect the lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is a lot smaller than the 12 inches of ducting used by a typical HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home operates independently from the other that is why you can cool your bedrooms while leaving the living area at a higher temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own temperature control, which means you can tailor it to suit the preferences of the family members.

Many people are considering the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to grow. If you decide to add an exercise room, bedroom or another addition to your house, your existing heating and cooling system might be strained trying to regulate the temperature in another area of your home without ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to control the temperature independently and prevent your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This can help you save money on your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are fairly easy to install, especially when you have an HVAC professional. They are typically placed on top of an exterior wall, and the installer needs to cut a tiny hole in the drywall and feed the piping into. The ductless system is joined to the home with clamps to hold the piping.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, which means it can cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless system to cool a large house with multiple floors.

Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, so that the people in each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to achieve true cooling zoning within your office or home.

It is extremely beneficial to be able to control the temperature of each area of your home, particularly when you have several people living with you who are accustomed to different temperatures. You can save money using an ductless system that cools only those rooms that are in use.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are generally more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which can significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This can help keep your energy bills at a lower level throughout the throughout the year. You can cut down on energy usage by selecting a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will use less energy to cool your home.

Another way that ductless systems can save you money is by providing zoned comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is especially useful for families with pets who spend most of their time in one room.

A ductless system operates similar to a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler, is able to blow air over the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant is able to absorb heat from the air and then ejected out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety locations, such as in an attic, a home addition, or garage.

Ductless mini-split systems can work as a stand-alone unit or used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They are ideal to retrofit an existing house or adding air conditioning and for renovations or new construction where there is no space or money to install air ducts. They’re also an excellent choice for homes with low ceilings such as in a converted attic or garage.

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