Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate comfort in your home is possible with ductless heating and cooling. These systems offer individualized comfort zones as well as cost savings, and much more.
Ductless systems are made up of an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers that heat or cool specific rooms in your home. They replace baseboard heating systems, window air conditioning and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems give homeowners more control over heating and cooling. They do not require the use of ductwork and can be placed on areas like sunrooms and garages. Mini-splits are also efficient in terms of energy consumption, and could save you lots of money on your electricity bills.
In winter, they employ a small unit outside to generate heat, and then transfer it inside. In the summer, they function as air conditioners and take heat from the air in your home. Ductless systems are more quiet than traditional ones, and the indoor air-handling units include built-in filters to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
You can alter your temperature settings on a room-by-room basis with ductless heating and cooling, which is perfect for families with different preferences. Each indoor air handling system comes with a thermostat that you can adjust according to the requirements and preferences of your family. This personalization ensures that every member of your family can have their ideal living space.
Since these systems don’t have to heat and cool your entire home at the same time, they’re more energy efficient than conventional air conditioners and furnaces. This is because they don’t have to work as hard to maintain an ideal temperature, and they avoid wasting energy by not heating or cooling rooms that aren’t being used.
The absence of ducts can reduce energy loss and can lower your cooling and heating bills. If you opt for a high-efficiency model that uses green refrigerants, your ductless system can be even more energy-efficient.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and convenience, ductless systems are also quieter and easier to install than traditional HVAC systems. They can be installed on walls or ceilings and their compact design makes them less visible than ductwork. They can also be installed more easily in new construction or renovations than traditional systems. With their simple-to-use smart controls, you can keep track of your energy usage and change your settings remotely from a smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems have a unique design that offers greater energy efficiency than forced-air systems. They are comprised of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers. They are connected via flexible piping which carries electricity and coolant to create heat. The absence of ductwork prevents thermal leakage as well as other sources of waste associated with duct systems, which means that they are more efficient in energy use and cost savings. Additionally as these systems do not use combustible fuel to operate, they also don’t produce harmful carbon dioxide emissions and are therefore an environmentally friendly option for your business or home.
There is no need to sacrifice energy efficiency to achieve the desired air temperature. You can cool your master bedroom down to 65 degrees without overcooling the other rooms. This helps save energy and makes everyone in the family happy.
It’s the same with heating your home. You can set the temperature of your basement or home office or any other room that has an air handler to a more moderate temperature to ensure an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. You don’t need to worry about wasting energy when you leave a room for a while, as you can simply switch on the heating in the area with your remote control.
A ductless system can be used to cool or heat small apartments or an additional room. It will also allow you to save money throughout the year. It can replace an AC unit that is portable and cut down on energy costs by providing heating and cooling.
A ductless system is a great replacement for space heaters. This will spare you from having to use multiple air conditioners in summer, and space heaters during the winter. Additionally, it gives a more streamlined look in your home and improves indoor air quality. It’s no surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly well-known.
Easy Installation
Mini-splits with ductless technology are designed to cool and heat spaces that do not have ductwork or where a new addition or renovation doesn’t include the cost of installing ductwork. A ductless system is perfect for remodeled rooms, sunrooms and basements. It’s also great for kiosks at offices or in residential spaces that aren’t being used. Each indoor unit of a single-zone or multi-zone system comes with its individual thermostat. This lets you cool and heat the rooms you use at any time.
The installation of a ductless heating and cooling system is much easier and less expensive than a traditional HVAC system since there isn’t any ductwork required. A certified technician will place the outdoor unit on a concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers inside your home. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the equipment, control wires, and refrigerant. Based on the size of your home, multiple indoor units may need to be set up to ensure optimal comfort.
Due to their energy efficiency Due to their energy efficiency, ductless systems are green. They do not add to the amount of waste generated by a typical household and they significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the home.
Ductless systems come with some of the highest SEER ratings in the industry and allow homeowners to enjoy substantial savings on their cooling and heating costs. In comparison to traditional split systems with SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s best performing ductless systems can offer up to 50 percent savings on energy bills each month.
A ductless system requires minimal maintenance to keep working at its best. In general, you’ll need to clean the air filters at least once per month, and we recommend scheduling regular professional service. This will ensure that your ductless system operates efficiently and effectively for the years to come. In reality, a ductless system can last for as long as 25 years with regular maintenance and care. Our knowledgeable technicians are available to answer any questions you may have about ductless heating and cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems can provide a range of benefits for maintenance that traditional HVAC equipment cannot provide. This includes energy efficiency, which leads to lower operating costs as well as environmental impact. The absence of ductwork helps keep indoor air quality high. The ductwork of a home’s traditional HVAC system may be contaminated by dirt, grime bacteria, pet dander, rodent droppings, and more. The unnoticeable units of ductless systems are easy to clean and maintain.
The installation of ductless HVAC systems is also less expensive than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to ductwork being labor-intensive, and installation can be costly, particularly in older homes that have uninsulated ceilings and walls. The noninvasive nature of a ductless HVAC system’s installation process, which involves mounting indoor and outdoor units, reduces the cost and can be completed in one day.
Comparing ductless HVAC to window-type systems, they are much quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the units and how efficient they are. They also require less maintenance, with only the occasional need to change the air filter, and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also a great choice for retrofits or new construction. They can be used to replace less efficient space heaters and window air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can also be used in apartments, condos, and mobile homes, where ductwork may not be feasible.
