Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the best option for cooling homes without ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will help you choose the right size system for your home, and will handle all installation and maintenance.

Ductless systems are also perfect for the addition of new rooms to your home or for older homes which do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is effective and energy efficient.

No need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes with no ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to reach. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems which use an attic unit and ducts for air distribution throughout the home, uses separate indoor units that are connected to an outside condenser. The units can be positioned on the walls or ceiling, allowing for flexibility in both aesthetic and functionality.

In addition to being easier to install and set up, a ductless system can be an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in saving energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are being used. This is a great way to reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature in your home for all of its inhabitants.

They are extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters on a regular basis. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system operates as smoothly and efficiently as it is possible for as long as it can.

Many people choose to utilize ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They are ideal to add an extra room to a home, for converting a garage or basement into a living space, and for increasing the temperature in a room that is usually too hot or too cold.

A ductless system has the advantage of being much more cost-effective than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year with the energy STAR certification. These systems can be even more efficient when you add a heat pump, which can both cool and heat your home.

Energy efficient

One of the primary reasons to opt for ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re much more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to reduce energy usage and help you save money by proactively cooling the areas of your house that are used. These systems are ideal for homes that have an addition or garage that is new or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool using ductwork.

Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers run using a small smaller amount of power to cool a whole home using ductwork since they don’t have to work as hard to move and regulate temperatures. This allows the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated air ductless unit.

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

Each air handler is independent which means you can cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living area at an elevated temperature. This will save energy since it’s not cooling. Each air handler has its own temperature control, meaning you can tailor it to the preferences of the family members.

Many people are considering building a home gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to improve. When you do this, your current heating and cooling system might be overwhelmed by the need to regulate temperatures in an extra space of your home that is not served by ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be put in these spaces to give you independent temperature control and assist your home 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 simple to install, particularly when you have an experienced HVAC company. They are typically mounted high on the wall of an exterior. The installer will only need to drill a tiny hole in the drywall for the piping. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps to secure the pipe.

A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms to 400 square feet. You may need more than one ductless system in order to cool a large house with many floors.

Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its thermostat, allowing the people in each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to create cooling zones in your business or home.

It is extremely beneficial to be able to regulate the temperature in every zone of your home, particularly when you have a lot of people living with you who have different preferences for temperature. You can save money using the ductless system by cooling only the rooms that are in use.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are generally cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss that could be caused by leaky the ductwork. This could reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can further minimize your energy use by choosing a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system with an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will require less energy to cool your home.

A ductless system will also save you money by providing comfort in zones. You can make use of a remote control in order to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms in your house. This feature is especially useful if your children or pets spend most of their time in a single room.

The ductless system is similar to a heat-pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes known as an air handler blows air over evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, and is then released outside via a small gap in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is installed in a variety of places, including an attic, a home addition or garage.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as a stand-alone unit or combined to provide whole-home cooling. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence, as well as renovations or new construction 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 usually enough to cool a small dwelling 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 lets you independently regulate the temperature of each room, which is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
