There is no need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes with no ductwork, or for rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to access. In contrast to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in the attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the home the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units connected to an outdoor condenser. These units can be mounted on the ceiling or wall and offer versatility in terms of aesthetics and functionality.

A ductless system is not only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can help you save energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are being used. This is a great way to reduce the amount of waste and keep your home at a perfect temperature for all occupants.

They are also easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by cleaning the filters and running an occasional defroster. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system functions as smoothly and efficiently as possible for the duration of time it can.

Energy efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is an important reason to consider them. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to cut down on your energy consumption and save you money. They accomplish this by actively cooling areas of your house that are occupied. These systems are perfect for homes with an addition or new garage or rooms that are hard to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers use less power to cool an entire home, as they don’t have to work as hard in order to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than an ordinary AC system that doesn’t come with a ductless unit.

It takes only 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home operates independently from the other and this means that you can cool your bedrooms while leaving the living space at a warmer temperature, and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own thermostat programmable which allows you to fine-tune the temperature to suit each family member’s preferences.

As the economy continues to improve many people are considering building a gym in their home, bedroom, or other home improvement. If you are planning to add a home gym, bedroom or another addition to your house the heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed trying to control the temperature in an 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 keep your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will help you save money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, especially when you work with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically installed on the outside of a wall. The installer needs to drill a tiny hole in the wall to accommodate the piping. The ductless system is then attached to the house by using clamps that secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.

A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms to 400 square feet. If you live in a home with multiple stories, you might require more than one ductless unit in order to cool your entire home.

Some ductless systems come with several indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit has its own thermostat so the residents can set the temperature they prefer in their own room. This is a great way to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.

The ability to control every zone in your house is especially beneficial when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. You can save money by using a ductless system by cooling only rooms that are occupied.

This can decrease the efficiency of your system. This can help keep your energy costs at a lower level throughout the throughout the year. You can cut down on energy usage by selecting the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has a higher SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.

Another way in which ductless systems can help you save money is by offering zones of comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. You can maintain 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 pets or children who spend much of their time in one room.

The ductless system functions the same as a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler, blows air on the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, then it’s removed outside through small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of places, including garages, attics or even a home addition.

Mini-split ductless systems are utilized as stand-alone units, or in combination to provide cooling for the entire house. They are ideal for retrofitting an existing home or adding air conditioning as well as for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or money to install air ducts. They are an excellent option for homes that have low ceilings like an attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small house and connects only one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using one condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperature of each room in a way that is especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
