Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and cooling gives homeowners the opportunity to enjoy the ultimate comfort in their homes. These systems provide individualized comfort zones and cost savings.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit, and indoor air handlers which can cool or heat certain rooms within your home. They replace baseboard electric heating systems, window air conditioners and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems provide homeowners with more control over their heating and cooling. They don’t require ductwork and can be installed in areas like sunrooms or garages. These mini-split systems are also extremely energy efficient and can save you money on your energy bills.
In winter, they use small units outside to generate heat, and then transfer it indoors. In the summer, they act as air conditioners, and remove the heat from your home’s air. Ductless systems operate more quietly than traditional systems. The air-handling unit for indoor use comes with filters built-in that enhance the quality of the air in your home.
With ductless heating, you can control the temperature in each space independently. This is ideal for families with different tastes. Each indoor air handling system comes with a thermostat that you can adjust according to the needs and lifestyle of your family. This degree of personalization allows each member of your family to have their ideal living space.
Because these systems aren’t obligated to heat and cool your entire home at once, they’re more efficient than traditional furnaces and air conditioners. They can save energy because they don’t need to be as efficient in order to keep a comfortable temperature.
The absence of ducts will help reduce energy losses, which further cuts down on the cost of cooling and heating. And if you choose an energy-efficient model that utilizes green refrigerants, your ductless unit could be more efficient in energy use.
Ductless systems are more affordable and efficient than traditional HVAC systems. They are also more quiet and easier to install. They can be mounted on walls or ceilings and their compact design 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 can monitor your energy usage and change your settings remotely on a smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are unique in design that gives more energy efficiency than forced air systems. These systems comprise an outdoor unit along with one or more indoor air handlers, all connected by flexible piping that is able to carry electricity and refrigerant to create heat transfer. The absence of ductwork eliminates thermal leakage and other waste sources associated with duct systems, which means that they are more efficient in energy use and cost savings. Additionally because these systems don’t make use of combustible fuels to operate and produce no harmful carbon dioxide emissions and are therefore an environmentally friendly choice for your business or home.
You don’t need to sacrifice energy efficiency to achieve your desired temperature of air. You can cool your master bedroom down to 65 degrees, without overcooling other rooms. This saves energy and makes the entire family happy.
The same applies to heating your home. You can set your home office, basement or any other space that has an air handler at an appropriate temperature to ensure an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. Also, you don’t have 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 your remote control.
A ductless system can be utilized to cool or heat small spaces or a spare room. It can also allow you to save money throughout the year. It can replace the portable AC unit and lower your energy bills by providing heating and cooling.
A ductless system could be an excellent alternative to space heaters, preventing you from having to juggle the use of several air conditioning units in summer and space heaters during the winter. Plus, it provides a more streamlined look in your space and improves the quality of indoor air. It’s no surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly popular.
Easy Installation
Mini-splits with ductless technology are designed to heat and cool areas that do not have ductwork, or for locations where an addition or renovation doesn’t include the cost of putting in ductwork. A ductless system is ideal in rooms that have been renovated in older homes as well as home additions, sunrooms, and a remodeled basement. It’s also ideal for office kiosks or residential spaces that aren’t being used. Each indoor unit of a single-zone or multi-zone system comes with its individual thermostat. This allows you to cool and heat the rooms that are in use at any time.
Installation of a HVAC system that is ductless is simpler and more affordable than a traditional system since there is no requirement for ductwork. A licensed technician will place the outdoor unit on a concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers within your home. The installers will run a conduit from the indoor units to the outdoor unit which houses the control wiring, the equipment and refrigerant lines. Depending on the size of your house there may be multiple indoor units that be required to be set up to ensure maximum comfort.
Ductless systems are eco-friendly because of their high energy efficiency. They do not add to the amount of waste generated by a typical household and they drastically reduce the carbon footprint of a home.
Ductless systems come with some of the highest SEER ratings in the marketplace, allowing homeowners to make substantial savings on their cooling and heating costs. Comparing to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s top performing ductless systems can offer up to 50 percent savings on monthly energy bills.
To ensure it is operating at its peak, a ductless system requires minimal maintenance. It is recommended to clean your air filters at least once every week, and we recommend regular professional maintenance. This will ensure your ductless system will continue to function efficiently and efficiently for years to be. In reality the ductless system can last for as long as 25 years if it is maintained with regular maintenance and care. Our knowledgeable technicians are available to answer any questions you have about ductless heating and cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems offer a number of benefits to maintenance that traditional HVAC equipment is not able to match. This includes energy efficiency, which leads to lower operating costs and environmental impact. The absence of ductwork allows to ensure a high indoor air quality. The ductwork in a traditional HVAC system is vulnerable to contamination by grime, dirt and bacteria. It can also be contaminated by pet dander or rodent droppings. By contrast ductless systems’ subtle units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned with a quick swipe of a clean cloth.
The installation of ductless HVAC systems is also cheaper than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to the fact that ductwork installation is labor intensive and expensive, particularly in older homes with uninsulated walls and ceilings. The noninvasive nature of a ductless HVAC system’s installation process that involves the mounting of both outdoor and indoor units eliminates this cost and can be completed in one day.
When comparing ductless HVAC systems to window-type systems, they’re much quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the systems and how efficient they are. They require less maintenance with just the need for a couple of air filters to be changed and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pump systems are also a great choice for retrofits or new construction. They can be used to replace less efficient space heaters, window air conditioners, and radiant heating systems. They can even be used in apartments, condos, and mobile homes, where ductwork may not be feasible.
If you’re in the market for an HVAC system that is able to handle the northern climate, consider upgrading to a ductless model. A professional can assess the requirements of your house and help you choose the right ductless systems for your home and ensure it’s installed correctly. Contact us now to begin.
