Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal option for cooling homes without ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you find the right size for your home and handle all of the installation and maintenance tasks.

Ductless systems are great for the addition of new rooms to your home or for older homes that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and energy efficient.

There is no need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic solution for homes that do not have ductwork in place or rooms that are difficult to service with conventional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems which use a unit in the attic and ducts for distribution of air throughout the house, utilizes individual indoor units linked to an outside condenser. These units can be placed on the wall or ceiling and offer versatility in terms of design and function.

In addition, it is easier to install and set up, a ductless system can be an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will assist you in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great way to reduce waste and keep the perfect temperature in your home for all of its inhabitants.

They are also easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters on a regular basis. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system operates as efficiently and smoothly as possible for as long as it can.

Many people prefer to use ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They are a great way to add an additional room or convert a garage basement into a living space, or boost the temperature of a space that is often too hot or cold.

A ductless system has the benefit of being much more cost-effective than the newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year. These systems can be more efficient if you have a heat pump, which also cools and heats your home.

Energy Efficient

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

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is transformed into direct current and then fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers require only a small amount of power to cool a home using ductwork because they don’t need to work as hard in order to regulate temperatures and move air. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than an ordinary AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated ductless unit.

It takes only 3 inches to connect the lines from the outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is much smaller than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by the typical HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home works independently of the others, which means you can cool your bedrooms while leaving the living area at a higher temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own thermostat that is programmable that can be used to adjust the temperature based on the preferences of each family member.

Many are thinking of the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to grow. If you decide to add an exercise room, bedroom, or any other addition to your house the heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed trying to regulate the temperature in a different area of your home without ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be installed in these spaces to give you a more independent temperature control, and aid in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This will help you save on your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are relatively simple to install, particularly when you are working with an HVAC professional. They are typically installed high on the wall of an exterior. The installer needs to drill a small hole in the drywall for the pipe. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps to secure the piping.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, which means it can cool rooms up to 400 square feet or more. If you have a large house with multiple stories, you may need to add more than one ductless unit to cool the entire house.

Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat so the users can select the temperature they want in their individual room. This is a great method to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.

The ability to control every zone within your home is useful when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. You can save money by using an ductless system that cools only those rooms that are occupied.

Our ductless maintenance manual will provide you with more information about how to maintain your system.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are generally more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential energy loss caused by leaky ductwork that can significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This will help keep your energy bills lower all year long. You can cut down on your energy consumption by choosing the 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 a ductless system can save you money is by offering zoned comfort. With a remote control, you can choose different temperature settings for each room of your home. You can maintain your living room and bedroom at different temperatures without having an impact on other rooms in your home. This feature can be especially beneficial if you have pets or children who spend the majority of their time in one room.

A ductless system functions in the same way as a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes 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 released outside through tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in many different places, including garages, attics, or even a home addition.

Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as a stand-alone unit or used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence or new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes that have low ceilings like an attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small home and connects only one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperatures of each room in a way that is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
