Ductless systems can be installed in older homes or new additions that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy-saving.

There is no need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes with no ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems which use a unit in the attic and ducts for distribution of air throughout the house, utilizes individual indoor units connected to the outside condenser. These units can be mounted on the ceiling or wall and provide a variety of aesthetics and functional.

A ductless system is not only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can help you reduce your energy bills by heating and cooling only the rooms that are in use. This is a great way to reduce the amount of waste and maintain your home at the ideal temperature for everyone in the.

They are extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters periodically. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system functions as smoothly and efficiently as it can for the duration of time it can.

Many people opt to use ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to add an additional room or convert a garage or basement into a living space, or to increase the temperature of a room which is often too cold or hot.

A ductless system has the benefit of being a lot more economical than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. The energy STAR certification for these systems could save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems can be more efficient when you add the use of a heat pump that both heats and cools your home.

Energy efficient

One of the primary reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re much more energy efficient. These ENERGY START-certified systems are designed to decrease your energy consumption and save you money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your home that are used. This is why they are ideal for homes that have a new addition or garage, or that have rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then transformed into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves run on a fraction of the power needed to cool a home that has ductwork as they don’t have to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This allows for a greater SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that doesn’t include a ductless unit.

Additionally, it only takes approximately 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is a lot smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by the typical HVAC system.

Each air handler is independent, so you can cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living area at the same temperature. This will save energy since it’s not cooled. Each air handler also has its own programmable thermostat which you can use to fine-tune the temperature based on each family member’s preferences.

As the economy continues to improve Many people are thinking about adding a home gym or bedroom improvements to their home. If you decide to do this, your current heating and cooling system could be overworked by trying to regulate temperatures in an extra part of your home without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be installed in these areas to provide you with a separate temperature control, and help your home avoid unnecessary cooling or heating. This can aid in reducing your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are simple to install, particularly when you are working with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically mounted high up on an exterior wall, so the installer only needs to make a small cut in the drywall and feed the piping through. The ductless system is then joined to the house using clamps to secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms up 400 square feet. It is possible to require more than one ductless system in order to cool a large-sized house with multiple floors.

Certain ductless systems include multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit comes with its own thermostat so that occupants can choose the temperature they want in their own room. This is a great way to get true cooling zoning at your office or home.

Being able to control each zone in your home is useful when you have multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system it is possible to cool only the areas that are used and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t being used.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are typically cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential loss of energy due to leaky ductwork, which can greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This can help keep your energy costs lower throughout the year long. You can cut down on your energy usage by selecting a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will require less energy to cool your home.

Another way ductless systems can save you money is by offering zones of comfort. You can use 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 home. This feature can be especially useful if you have children or pets who spend a lot of their time in one room.

The ductless system is similar to a heat pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) is able to blow air over evaporator coils which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, and is then released outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of locations, including garages, attics or home addition.

Mini-split ductless systems can be used as standalone units or in combination to provide cooling for the entire house. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing home and also for renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re an excellent option for homes with low ceilings such as an attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool a small home and connects only one indoor air handler to an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via one condenser. This lets you control the temperature of each space in a way that is especially helpful for large homes.
