Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

The ductless system is the ideal option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you find the right size for your home and will take care of all of the installation and maintenance tasks.

Ductless systems are great for new additions to your home or older homes that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is efficient and energy efficient.

No need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic option for homes that do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that would be difficult to service by traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems, which rely on a unit in the attic and ducts to distribute air throughout the home, employs individual indoor units linked to an outside condenser. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and offer a range of aesthetics and functionality.

In addition to being easier to install, a ductless system is more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can help you save energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are in use. This is a great way to reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature in your home for all of its occupants.

These systems are also very easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters on a regular basis. In addition, regular maintenance by a professional technician will ensure the system runs smoothly and effectively for as long as possible.

Many people choose to utilize ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to add an extra room or convert a garage basement to living space, or increase the temperature of a room that is usually too cold or hot.

Another benefit of a ductless system is that they are more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems are even more efficient when paired with a heat pump, which heats and cools the home.

When deciding whether you think a air-conditioning HVAC system is right for your needs, it’s essential to consult with a reputable HVAC company.

Energy efficient

One of the main reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re much more energy efficient. These ENERGY START-certified systems are designed to decrease your energy consumption and save you money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your home that are occupied. This makes them ideal for homes with a brand new garage or an addition, or that have rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is transformed into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers require only a small amount of power to cool an entire home with ductwork, because they don’t need to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that does not have a ductless unit.

It takes just 3 inches to run the lines from the outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home functions independently from the other, which means you can cool your bedrooms, while leaving the living space at a warmer temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own thermostat programmable which can be used to adjust the temperature according to each family member’s preferences.

Many are thinking of the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to grow. If you are planning to add a gym at home, a bedroom or another home improvement, your existing heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed trying to control the temperature in an part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you regulate the temperature on your own and stop your home from becoming over-cooled or overheated. This will lower your energy costs and your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are fairly easy to install, particularly when you work with a professional HVAC company. These units are often mounted high up on an exterior wall, so the installer needs to cut a tiny hole in the wall and feed the piping into. The ductless system then gets attached to the house by using clamps to secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. If you own a huge home with multiple stories you might require more than one ductless unit in order to cool the entire house.

Certain ductless systems have several indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit has its own thermostat, so that occupants can choose the temperature they would like to have in their particular room. This is a great way to create a true cooling zone within your office or home.

The ability to control every zone in your home is useful when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. You can save money by using the ductless system by cooling only rooms that are used.

Our manual for maintenance on ductless systems will provide you with more information about keeping your system in good condition.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are usually cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss that could be caused by leaks in the ductwork. This can reduce the efficiency of your system. This will help keep your energy costs lower throughout the year. You can further minimize your energy consumption by selecting an ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system that has a higher SEER will be more efficient and consume less energy.

Another way in which a ductless system can help you save money is by offering zoned comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. You can keep your bedroom and living room at different temperatures without affecting the other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly beneficial when your pets or children spend the majority of their time in one room.

A ductless system works similarly to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air through evaporator coils which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, is then released outside through tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of locations such as garages, attics, or even a home addition.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or be combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house or renovations or new construction that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re an excellent option for homes with low ceilings, such as an attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually sufficient to cool small houses and connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via one condenser. This lets you control the temperatures of each room in a way that is especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
