Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and cooling gives homeowners a way to achieve ultimate home comfort. These systems offer individualized comfort zones, cost savings and more.
Ductless systems are comprised of an outdoor unit as well as indoor air handlers that heat and cool the rooms of your home. They are a replacement for baseboard heating systems windows, window air conditioning and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems give homeowners more control over their heating and cooling. They don’t require ductwork and can be installed within areas such as sunrooms or garages. These mini-splits are also very efficient in terms of energy consumption, and could save you a lot of money on your utility bills.
In winter, they employ a small unit outside to generate heat and transfer it indoors. In summer, they are able to act as air conditioners, removing heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems are quieter than traditional ones, and the indoor air-handling units have built-in filters to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
You can alter your temperature settings for each room with ductless heating and cooling, which is perfect for families who have different preferences. Each indoor air handling system has its own thermostat that you can adjust according to the needs and lifestyle of your family. This flexibility allows every member of your family to enjoy their ideal living space.
Since these systems don’t have to cool and heat your entire home at the same time, they’re more efficient than conventional air conditioners and furnaces. This is because they don’t have to work as hard to maintain an ideal temperature, and they can conserve energy by not cooling or heating rooms that aren’t being used.
The absence of ducts reduces energy loss and can lower your cooling and heating bills. If you opt for an energy-efficient model that utilizes green refrigerants, your ductless unit could be more efficient in energy use.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use, ductless systems are also quieter and more simple to install than conventional HVAC systems. They can be mounted on walls and ceilings, and their smaller size makes them less visible than ductwork. They can also be erected more easily in new construction or renovations than traditional systems. With their easy-to use smart controls you’ll be able monitor your energy consumption and alter your settings remotely using a smartphone or a computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems have a unique design that gives more energy efficiency than forced air systems. They include an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers all connected via flexible piping that is able to carry refrigerant and electricity to produce heat transfer. The absence of ductwork eliminates thermal leakage as well as other waste sources that are associated with duct systems, which means that they are more efficient in energy use and cost savings. Furthermore, since these systems don’t make use of combustible fuels to operate, they also don’t produce harmful carbon dioxide emissions, making them an environmentally friendly choice for your business or home.
You don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve your desired temperature of air. You can cool your master bedroom down to 65 degrees while not overcooling other rooms. This helps save energy and makes the entire family happy.
It’s the same for heating your home. You can set your basement, home office or any other room with an air handler at an appropriate temperature to guarantee a comfortable and consistent heat throughout your home. You don’t need to be concerned about wasting energy when you leave an area for a short time and you can switch on the heat in that area using the remote control.
If you’re cooling an extra room or heating a smaller apartment, an ductless system can be the ideal solution to cool and heat your home and save money all year round. It can also replace a portable air conditioner and reduce your energy bills by providing both heating and cooling for your space.
A ductless system is an excellent alternative to space heaters. This will save you from having multiple air conditioners during summer, and space heaters in winter. It also improves indoor air quality and gives your space a a more streamlined appearance. With all the benefits of a ductless system, it’s no wonder they’re gaining popularity!
Easy Installation
Mini-split systems with ductless are designed to cool and heat areas that don’t have ductwork or where a new addition or renovation doesn’t include the expense of installing ductwork. Ductless systems work well in rooms that have been renovated in older homes as well as home additions, sunrooms, and even a renovated basement. It is also ideal for office kiosks and residential spaces that are not open during the day. Each indoor unit in a single-zone or multi-zone system comes with its individual thermostat. This lets you cool and heat the rooms that are in use at any time.
The installation of a ductless HVAC system is easier and more affordable than a traditional one, as there is no need for ductwork. A certified technician will install the outdoor unit on the concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers in your home. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the equipment, control wires and refrigerant. Based on the size of your home you may require several indoor units to ensure maximum comfort.
Ductless systems are green due to their energy efficiency. They don’t add to the amount of waste generated by a typical household and they drastically reduce the carbon footprint of a home.
Ductless systems have the highest SEER rating available in the market. This allows homeowners to save money on heating and cooling costs. Comparing to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s best performing ductless systems can give up to 50 percent savings on energy bills each month.
A ductless system requires little maintenance to operate at its best. Typically, you’ll need to clean your air filters once a month, and we suggest scheduling regular professional services. This will ensure that your system is operating efficiently and effectively for many years to come. A ductless system can last for 25+ years with proper maintenance and care. Our technicians are on hand to answer any questions you might have about the ductless heating and cooling system.
Maintenance
Ductless systems offer a variety of maintenance benefits that aren’t available with traditional HVAC equipment. This includes energy efficiency, which can lead to lower operating costs and environmental impact. The absence of ductwork helps keep indoor air quality high. The ductwork of a home’s traditional HVAC system could be contaminated by dirt grime, pet dander, rodent droppings, and more. The ductless units, which are not visible, systems are easy to clean and maintain.
In addition to that, ductless heating and cooling systems are less costly to install than traditional HVACs. It is because ductwork is labor-intensive, and installation could be expensive, especially in older homes that do not have insulation ceilings and walls. This expense can be cut due to the non-invasive nature of the ductless HVAC installation procedure. It involves the installation of both indoor and outdoor units.
When comparing ductless HVAC systems to windows-style HVAC systems, they are quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the systems, as well as how efficient they are. They require less maintenance and require only a few air filters to be replaced and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pump systems are also a good option for retrofits or new construction. They can be used to replace less efficient air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can even be used in condos, apartments and mobile homes where ductwork may not be feasible.
