Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and air conditioning gives homeowners the opportunity to enjoy the ultimate comfort in their homes. They offer individual comfort zones and cost savings.
Ductless systems comprise an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers that heat or cool the rooms of your home. They replace baseboard heating systems, window air conditioning and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are great for homeowners who need greater control over their cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork, and can be put in in areas like sunrooms or garages. These mini-splits are also very energy efficient, and can save you lots of money on your utility bills.
In winter, they employ small units outside to generate heat and transfer it indoors. In summer, they change to become air conditioners, removing heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems are more quiet than traditional systems, and the indoor air handling units come with filters to improve your home’s air quality.
With ductless heating, you can alter the temperature of each room independently. This is great for families with different tastes. Each indoor air-handling system comes with its own thermostat that you can alter according to the requirements and preferences of your family. This personalization ensures that everyone in your family can enjoy their ideal living space.
Since these systems aren’t forced to cool and heat your entire home at the same time, they’re more energy efficient than conventional furnaces and air conditioners. This is due to the fact that they don’t need to exert as much effort to maintain a perfect temperature, and they avoid wasting energy by not cooling or heating rooms that aren’t being utilized.
The absence of ducts helps reduce energy consumption, which in turn cuts down on your cooling and heating costs. Your ductless system will be more efficient if you select a high-efficiency unit that uses eco-friendly refrigeration.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use, ductless systems are also quieter and more simple to install than conventional HVAC systems. They can be mounted on ceilings and walls, and their smaller size makes them less visible than ductwork. They’re also more easy to install in new construction or renovations than a traditional system could be. With their simple-to-use smart controls, you can monitor your energy consumption and alter your settings remotely from your smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems stand out in their design and can provide higher energy efficiency than forced air systems. These systems consist of an outdoor unit as well as one or more indoor air handlers. They are connected with flexible piping that carries the electricity and coolant to produce heat. The absence of ductwork eliminates thermal leakage as well as other waste sources that are caused by duct systems which means that they are more efficient in energy use and cost savings. Furthermore because these systems don’t require combustible fuel for operation, they also don’t produce harmful emissions or carbon dioxide and are therefore an environmentally friendly choice for your business or home.
You don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency to achieve your desired air temperature. You can cool your master bedroom down to 65 degrees while not overcooling other rooms. This saves energy and makes the whole family happy.
The same goes for heating your home. You can set the basement, home office, or any other room that has an air handler to a more moderate temperature to provide comfortable and consistent warmth throughout your home. There is no need to worry about using up electricity when you leave a room for a short period of time, because you can switch on the heating using your remote.
If you’re cooling an additional space or heating an apartment, a ductless system is an ideal way to cool and heat your home and save cash all year long. It can even replace a portable air conditioner and lower your energy bills by providing both cooling and heating for your space.
A ductless system can be an excellent alternative to space heaters, preventing you from having to coordinate the use of several air conditioning units in summer and space heaters in winter. It also improves indoor air quality and gives your space a more sleek appearance. It’s no surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly popular.
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems are designed to cool and heat spaces without ductwork, or in locations in which the cost of ductwork installation is not included in a renovation or new addition. A ductless system is ideal in remodeled rooms in older homes as well as home additions, sunrooms, and even a renovated basement. It is also ideal for office kiosks and residential spaces that aren’t open for business. Each indoor unit in a single-zone or multi-zone system has its individual thermostat. This allows you to heat and cool the rooms in use at any time.
The installation of a HVAC system that is ductless is much easier and less expensive than traditional HVAC systems since there is no ductwork required. A licensed technician will place the outdoor unit outside your home on a concrete pad and connect it to your air handlers. The installers will connect a conduit from the indoor units to the outdoor unit, which houses the control wiring, the equipment, and refrigerant lines. Based on the size of your house it may be necessary to have several indoor units in order to attain maximum comfort.
Ductless systems are green due to their high energy efficiency. They do not add to the amount of waste produced by the typical household, and they drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the home.
Ductless systems come with some of the highest SEER ratings in the market, allowing homeowners to make substantial savings on their heating and cooling costs. Compared to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s best efficient ductless systems can provide up to 50 percent savings on monthly energy bills.
A ductless system requires minimal maintenance to keep working at its best. In general, you’ll need to clean your air filters once a month, and we recommend scheduling regular professional service. This will ensure that your ductless system is operating efficiently and effectively for many the years to come. A ductless system will last for up to 25years if it is properly care and maintenance. Our technicians are available to answer any questions that you might have about ductless heating and air conditioning.
Maintenance
Ductless systems offer a number of maintenance benefits that traditional HVAC equipment can’t match. This includes energy efficiency, which contributes to lower operating costs as well as environmental impact. The absence of ductwork ensures that indoor air quality remains high. The ductwork that is typical to an HVAC system is prone to contamination by grime, dirt and bacteria. It is also affected by pet dander or rodent droppings. In contrast ductless systems’ subtle units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned by a simple swipe of a clean cloth.
Additionally the fact that the ductless heating and cooling systems are less expensive to install than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to ductwork being labor-intensive, and installation could be costly, particularly in older homes that do not have insulation ceilings and walls. The noninvasive nature of the installation process that requires the installation of indoor and outdoor units, eliminates this cost and can be completed in just one day.
When comparing ductless HVAC systems to window-style systems, they are quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the systems and how efficient they are. They also require less maintenance, with only the occasional requirement to change the air filter, and a yearly inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also a great option for retrofits or new construction. They can be substituted for less efficient space heaters and window air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can even be used in condominiums, apartments, and mobile homes, where ductwork isn’t feasible.
If you’re looking for an HVAC system that can handle our northern climate, think about switching to a ductless system. A professional can assess your home’s needs, help you choose the right ductless system for your property and ensure it’s correctly installed. Contact us to start.
