Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the best solution for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will assist you in selecting the best size system for your home and will take care of the installation and maintenance.

Ductless systems are great for adding new features to your home or for older homes which do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy efficient and efficient.

No need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes with no ductwork, or in rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to reach. Contrary to central AC systems that use one unit in the attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the home, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units linked to an outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and provide a variety of aesthetics and functional.

In addition to being simpler to install and maintain, a ductless system is an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can save you money by cooling and heating the rooms that are actually in use. This is a great method to cut down on waste and keep your home at a comfortable temperature for all occupants.

These systems are very easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by cleaning the filters and running an occasional defroster. Additionally regular maintenance by a trained technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.

Many people choose to utilize ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They are ideal for adding an extra room to a home and for converting garages or basement into living space, and for increasing the temperature in a room that’s often too hot or too cold.

A ductless system has the benefit of being much more cost-effective than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year, thanks to the energy STAR certification. These systems can be more efficient when you add a heat pump, which can both cool and heat your home.

Energy Efficient

One of the primary reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re much more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to decrease energy use and help you save money by actively cooling only the areas of your home that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes that have a new garage or addition, or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool using ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is then transformed into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers require less power to cool a home using ductwork because they do not have to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows for a greater SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that does not have a ductless unit.

It only takes 3 inches to connect the lines from the outdoor unit up to each indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by a HVAC system.

Each air handler operates independently which means you can cool your bedrooms and keep the living area at a higher temperature. This will help save energy since it’s not cooling. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, which means you can adjust it to suit the preferences of each family member.

As the economy continues to recover, many people are thinking about adding a home gym or bedroom home improvement. If you make this decision, your existing heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an extra part of your home without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you manage the temperature in a way that is independent and keep your home from being over-cooled or overheated. This will help you save on your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are relatively simple to install, particularly when you are working with a professional HVAC company. They are typically installed high on an exterior wall. The installer will only need to drill a tiny hole into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system is then joined to the house clamps that hold the piping, and then fixed to the wall.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. If you have a large home with multiple stories, you may need to add more than one ductless unit in order to cool the entire house.

Certain ductless systems include multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit comes with its own thermostat so that occupants can choose the temperature they want in their particular room. This is a great way to achieve cooling zones in your home or business.

It is very useful to be able to regulate the temperature in each zone of your home, especially when you have a lot of family members who prefer different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system, you can cool only those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t being used.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are generally less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which can significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This can help to keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can reduce your energy consumption by choosing a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has higher SEER ratings will be more efficient, which means that it will require less energy to cool your home.

A ductless system can also help you save money by offering zoned comfort. With a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room of your home. You can keep your living room and bedroom at different temperatures, without affecting the other rooms in your home. This feature can be particularly beneficial if you have children or pets who spend the majority of their time in one room.

The ductless system functions the same as a heat-pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air through the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, and is then released outside through a small hole in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is placed in a variety places, including an attic, a home addition or garage.

Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as a stand-alone unit or combined to provide whole-home cooling. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house or new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes that have low ceilings like an attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool small homes, and connects only one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This lets you control the temperature of each room independently, which can be especially helpful for large homes.
