No Need for Ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is an excellent solution for homes that don’t have existing ductwork or for rooms that would be difficult to service with traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems which use a unit in the attic and ducts for air distribution throughout the home, uses individual indoor units linked to an outside condenser. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and offer a range of aesthetics and functional.
In addition to being simpler to install and maintain, a ductless system is an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by cooling and heating the rooms that are actually being used. This is a great method to cut down on energy consumption and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters on a regular basis. Additionally regular maintenance by a trained technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.
Many people opt 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 or basement into a living space, or to increase the temperature of a space that is often too cold or hot.
Another benefit of the ductless system is that they are more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, ductless systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems can save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are more efficient if you have a heat pump, which also cools and heats your home.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is an important reason to consider them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and help you save money by proactively cooling the areas of your home which are in use. This makes them ideal for homes with a new garage or an addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is converted into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers use a fraction of power to cool a home, as they do not have to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This enables the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t have a system that is ductless.
It takes only 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit up to each indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting needed by a HVAC system.
Each air handler functions independently, so you can cool your bedrooms and keep the living room at an elevated temperature. This will help save energy because it’s not cooling. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can adjust it to suit the preferences of each member of your family.
Many are thinking of adding a home gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to improve. If you decide to add a gym at home, a bedroom or another accessory to your home your heating and cooling system might be strained trying to regulate the temperature in a different part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to regulate the temperature on your own and keep your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This can lower your energy costs and also your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, especially when you have a professional HVAC company. These units are usually mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer needs to drill a small hole in the drywall for the piping. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to hold the piping.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. If you live in a house with multiple stories, you might need to install more than one ductless unit to cool your entire home.
Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, allowing the occupants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to create a true cooling zone in your home or office.
Being able to control each zone within your home is useful when you have several people who each prefer different temperatures. You can save money with the ductless system by cooling only those rooms that are used.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are usually cheaper to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of loss of energy due to leaky ductwork, which could significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This will help keep your energy bills lower throughout the throughout the year. You can also reduce your energy usage by selecting an ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system with a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will use less energy to cool your home.
A ductless system can help you save money by offering zoned comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This allows you to keep the living room and bedrooms at different temperatures without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature is especially useful for families with children or pets who spend the majority of their time in a single room.
The ductless system is similar to a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) is able to blow air over evaporator coils which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, and then it is ejected outside via small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be placed in many different places such as garages, attics, or home addition.
Mini-split ductless systems can be used as standalone units, or combined to provide cooling for the entire house. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing home or new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re an excellent option for homes that have low ceilings, such as an attic or garage.
A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool a small dwelling, and it connects just one indoor air handler to an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with a single condenser. This lets you independently regulate the temperature of each room, which is especially suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
