Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal option for cooling homes with no ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will help you choose the right size system for your home and will take care of the installation and maintenance.

Ductless systems are also perfect for new additions to your home or older homes which do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and efficient.

No Need for Ductwork

Ductless air conditioning is a great option for homes that don’t have existing ductwork or rooms that are difficult to serve with conventional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems that rely on an attic unit and ducts for distribution of air throughout the house, utilizes individual indoor units connected to an outside condenser. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and provide a variety of aesthetics and functionality.

In addition, it is easier to install and set up, a ductless system can be an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can aid in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling only the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce the amount of waste and maintain your home at a comfortable temperature for everyone who lives there.

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

Many people use ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They are perfect to add an extra room to a home or for converting a garage or basement into living space and for boosting the temperature in a room that’s often too hot or cold.

Another advantage of a ductless system is that they are more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. The energy STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year. These systems can be even more efficient with the use of a heat pump that also cools and heats your home.

Energy Efficient

One of the main reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and save you money by actively cooling only the areas of your house which are in use. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or garage that is new, or rooms that are hard to heat and cool using ductwork.

Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it into direct current which is fed through individual air handlers in your home. The air handlers require only a small amount of power to cool a home with ductwork, because they don’t need to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t have a ductless unit.

Additionally, it only takes approximately 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by HVAC systems.

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

As the economy continues to recover, many people are thinking about building a gym in their home or bedroom home improvement. If you are planning to add a gym at home, a bedroom or another accessory to your home the heating and air conditioning system could be overwhelmed trying to regulate the temperature in another part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to manage the temperature in a way that is independent and prevent your home from becoming over-cooled or overheated. This can help you save on your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is simple, particularly if you work with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically mounted high up on an exterior wall, so the installer just has to make a small cut in the drywall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system is joined to the home with clamps to secure the piping.

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

Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, allowing the people in each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to create cooling zones within your home or business.

The ability to control every zone in your home is useful when you live with many people who all like different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system, you can cool only the areas that are used and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are typically cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also prevent any loss of energy that could be caused by leaking the ductwork. This can reduce the effectiveness of your system. This can help keep your energy bills lower all year. You can cut down on your energy consumption by choosing the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with an increased SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.

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 in your house. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms in your house. This feature can be especially useful if you have children or pets who spend much of their time in a single room.

A ductless system works similarly to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air and then removed out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in a variety of locations, such as in an attic, a home addition or garage.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or be used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house, as well as new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They are an excellent option for homes that have low ceilings such as garages or attics.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small house and connects one indoor air handler to an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This allows you to independently control the temperature of each room, which is particularly useful for large homes.
