No need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are a great alternative for homes that do not have ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems, which rely on a unit in the attic and ducts for distribution of air throughout the home, uses individual indoor units linked to the outside condenser. The units can be positioned on walls or the ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetic and practical.

In addition to being simpler to install, a ductless system is a more efficient option. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in saving energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are actually being used. This is a great method to reduce energy consumption and keep your home at a comfortable temperature for everyone who lives there.

These systems are very easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters periodically. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system operates as efficiently and smoothly as it is possible for as long as it can.

Many people utilize ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They can be used to add an extra room or convert a garage or basement into a living space, or to increase the temperature of a room that is usually too cold or hot.

Another benefit of ductless systems is that they are much more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year by obtaining the energy STAR certification. These systems are also more efficient when paired with a heat-pump that cools and heats the home.

Energy efficient

One of the primary advantages of ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re much more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and save you money by cooling only the areas of your home which are in use. These systems are ideal for homes that have an addition or garage that is new, or rooms that are hard to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems utilize alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it into direct current which is fed through individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers use only a small amount of power to cool an entire home with ductwork, because they don’t have to work as hard in order to regulate temperatures and move air. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t come with a air ductless unit.

Furthermore, it takes about 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting required by a HVAC system.

Each air handler functions independently which means you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living area at a higher temperature. This will save energy because it won’t be chilled. Each air handler also has its own thermostat that is programmable which can be used to adjust the temperature based on the preferences of each family member.

As the economy continues to improve Many people are contemplating adding a home gym or bedroom home improvement. If you add a home gym, bedroom or another addition to your house the heating and air conditioning system could be overwhelmed trying to regulate the temperature in a different part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will let you control the temperature independently and prevent your home from being overheated or cooled. This will aid in reducing your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if work with an HVAC company that is professional. They are typically installed on the outside of a wall. The installer will only need to drill a small opening in the wall to accommodate the pipes. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps to secure the pipe.

The cooling power of a single ductless unit can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it can easily cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. It is possible to require more than one ductless system to cool a large-sized house with several floors.

Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its thermostat, allowing the occupants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to get true cooling zoning in your home or office.

The ability to control each zone in your home is useful when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. You can save money with the ductless system by cooling only the rooms that are used.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are generally less expensive to run than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential loss of energy due to leaky ductwork, which can significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This can help keep your energy bills lower throughout the year long. You can further minimize your energy consumption by selecting an ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system that has an increase in SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.

A ductless system can help you save money by offering zones of comfort. With a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room in your home. You can keep your bedroom and living space at different temperatures without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature can be especially useful for families with pets or children who spend much of their time in one room.

A ductless system functions similar to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, blows air over the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, and is then removed out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in many different places, including garages, attics, or even a home addition.

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 new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings such as a garage or attic.

A single-zone ductless system is typically sufficient to cool small houses and connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperature of each room in a way that is especially helpful for large homes.
