Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal solution for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you choose the ideal size for your home, and take care of all installation and maintenance.

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

No Need for Ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes without ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. Unlike central AC systems that rely on a single unit in the attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the home the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units linked to one outdoor condenser. These units can be mounted on the ceiling or wall and provide a variety of design and function.

A ductless system isn’t only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will assist you in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling only the rooms that are being used. This is a great method to cut down on waste and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone who lives there.

These systems are easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by simply washing the filters and using a defroster periodically. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system is operating as efficiently and smoothly as it is possible for the duration of time it can.

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

Another advantage of ductless systems is that they are more cost effective than newer, high efficiency, ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year by obtaining the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems can be even more efficient with 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 cooling and heating units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to reduce your energy consumption and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your home which are not being used. These systems are ideal for homes with an addition or garage that is new, or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it into direct current, which is then directed through the air handlers inside your home. The air handlers use less power to cool an entire home, as they do not have to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows for a greater SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that doesn’t include a ductless unit.

It takes only 3 inches to connect the lines from an outdoor unit all the way to an 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 functions independently and can therefore cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living space at an elevated temperature. This will help save energy because it’s not cooled. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can adjust it to the preferences of the family members.

As the economy continues to improve many people are considering building a gym in their home or bedroom addition to their house. If you add a gym at home, a bedroom, or any other home improvement your heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed trying to regulate the temperature in another 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 prevent your home from becoming over-cooled or overheated. This can reduce your energy costs as well as your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is easy, especially if you work with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically placed on top of an exterior wall, and the installer just has to drill a small hole into the drywall and feed the piping through. The ductless system will be joined to the home with clamps to secure the pipe.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it can cool rooms up to 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless system to cool a large-sized house with many floors.

Certain ductless systems have several indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit has its own thermostat so that users can select the temperature they want in their individual room. This is an excellent way to create cooling zones in your home or business.

Being able to control each zone in your house is especially useful when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. You can save money with a ductless system by cooling only rooms that are in use.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are typically less expensive to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss due to leaking air ducts. This can reduce the effectiveness of your system. This can help to keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can further reduce your energy consumption by selecting an ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system that has a higher SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.

A ductless system can also save you money by offering zones of comfort. By using a remote control you can adjust the temperature 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 is especially useful if you have children or pets who spend the majority of their time in one room.

A ductless system works in the same way as a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes known as an air handler blows air on the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and then it’s removed outside through tiny holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be mounted in many different places, including garages, attics or even a home addition.

Mini-split ductless systems can be used as standalone units or combined to provide cooling for the entire house. They are great for retrofitting an existing home or adding air conditioning, and also for renovations or new construction where there’s no room or budget to install air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings, like in a converted attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually sufficient to cool small houses and connects just one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This lets you independently control the temperature of each room, which is particularly suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
