Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is the best option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you find the right size for your home and handle all installation and maintenance work.
Ductless systems are also perfect for the addition of new rooms to your home or older homes that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and efficient.
No Need for Ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic solution for homes that either don’t have existing ductwork or rooms that are difficult to serve with traditional ducting. In contrast to central AC systems that use one unit in an attic and ducts to move air throughout the house the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units that are connected to one outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and offer a range of aesthetics and functional.
In addition, it is easier to install, a ductless system is an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can save you money by heating and cooling the rooms that are actually being used. This is an excellent way to reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature in your home for all of its occupants.
These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters on a regular basis. In addition regular maintenance by a trained technician will ensure the system runs smoothly and effectively for as long as is feasible.
Many people choose ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They are great for adding a second space to a home and for converting garages or basement into a living space and also for boosting the temperature in rooms that’s often too hot or too cold.
Another benefit of a ductless system is that they are more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, ductless systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year with the energy STAR certification. These systems can be even more efficient when you add the use of a heat pump that can both cool and heat your home.
It is important to choose an established HVAC firm when you’re considering whether the ductless system is suitable for you.

Energy efficient
One of the main advantages of ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY START-certified systems are designed to decrease the energy use and help you save money. They do this by actively cooling areas of your home that are used. These systems are ideal for homes with an addition or garage that is new or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.
Ductless systems utilize alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it to direct current that is delivered to the individual air handlers within your home. The air handlers require only a small amount of power to cool the entire home with ductwork, because they do not have to work as hard in order to regulate temperatures and move air. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that doesn’t include a ductless unit.
Furthermore, it takes around 3 inches on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting needed by a HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home works independently of the others and this means that you can cool the bedrooms, but leave the living area at a higher temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own thermostat programmable, which can be used to adjust the temperature to suit each family member’s preferences.
Many people are considering building a home gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to improve. If you do this, your existing heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed as you try to control temperatures in an additional space of your home that is not served by ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be put in these spaces to give you independent temperature control and help your home avoid unnecessary cooling or heating. This will aid in reducing your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is easy, especially if you work with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically placed on top of an exterior wall, and the installer needs to drill a small hole in the wall and feed the piping into. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to hold the piping.
The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, which means it can cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. If you have a large home with multiple stories you might need to install more than one ductless unit to cool the entire house.
Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, which means that the occupants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to create a true cooling zone in your home or office.
Having the ability to regulate each room in your home is useful when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. You can save money using the ductless system by cooling only those rooms that are occupied.

Our manual for maintenance on ductless systems will help you learn more about maintaining your system.
Save Money
Ductless AC systems are usually less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of loss of energy caused by leaky ductwork, which can significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This will help keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can also reduce your energy usage by selecting an ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system with a higher SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
A ductless system will also save you money by offering zones of comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This lets you keep the living room and bedrooms at different temperatures without affecting other rooms of your house. This feature can be especially beneficial if you have pets or children who 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, sometimes known as an air handler blows air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, and is then released outside through small holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in a variety of locations, including an attic, home addition or garage.
Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as standalone units or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence, as well as renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes with low ceilings, like an attic conversion or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small dwelling, and it connects just one indoor air handler to an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using a single condenser. This allows you to independently regulate the temperature in each room, which is especially useful for large homes.
