No need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes with no ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems, which rely on an attic unit and ducts for air distribution throughout the home, employs individual indoor units linked to a condenser outside. These units can be placed on the wall or ceiling and provide a variety of aesthetics and functional.

In addition to being simpler to install and set up, a ductless system can be a more efficient option. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in saving energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are being used. This is a great way to cut down on energy consumption and keep your home at a perfect temperature for everyone who lives there.

These systems are also very easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be cleaned by washing the filters and running the defroster regularly. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system operates as efficiently and smoothly as possible for as long as it is able to.

Many people choose to utilize ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are perfect to add an extra room to a home, for converting a garage or basement into a living space and for boosting the temperature of a room that’s often too hot or cold.

A ductless system has the advantage of being much more cost-effective than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year by obtaining the energy STAR certification. These systems are also more efficient when paired with a heat-pump which cools and heats the home.

Energy efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is a major reason to choose them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and save you money by proactively cooling the areas of your home which are in use. This is ideal for homes with a brand new addition or garage, or that have rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is transformed into direct current and fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers require only a small amount of power to cool an entire home with ductwork, because they don’t need to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows for a greater SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that does not include a 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 an outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is smaller than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by the typical HVAC system.

Each air handler functions independently and can therefore cool your bedrooms while keeping the living room at the same temperature. This can save energy because it’s not chilled. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, which means you can tailor it to the preferences of each family member.

Many are thinking of the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to improve. If you do this, your existing heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an extra space of your home that is not served by ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be installed in these areas to give you independent temperature control, and aid in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This can lower your energy bills and also your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively easy, especially if you are working with an experienced HVAC company. They are usually mounted high up on an exterior wall, so the installer just has to make a small cut in the wall and feed the piping into. The ductless system is attached to the house by using clamps that secure the piping, and then fixed to the wall.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless unit to cool a large house with several floors.

Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit has its own thermostat so that users can select the temperature they want in their own room. This is an excellent way to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.

It is very useful to be able to regulate the temperature of each area of your home, particularly when you have several people living with you who prefer different temperatures. You can save money with an ductless system that cools only those rooms that are used.

This can reduce the effectiveness of your system. This can help to keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can cut down on energy usage by selecting the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with higher SEER ratings will be more efficient, which means it will use less energy to cool your home.

A ductless system can save you money by providing zones of comfort. You can make use of a remote control in order to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is particularly beneficial when your pets or children spend the majority of their time in one room.

The ductless unit is the same as a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, also known as an air handler blows air on the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and is then released outside through tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in a variety of locations, including garages, attics, or home addition.

Mini-split ductless systems can be utilized as stand-alone units, or combined to provide cooling for the entire home. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house and also for renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also an excellent choice for homes with low ceilings like in a converted attic or garage.

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