Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal option for cooling homes with no ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will help you choose the appropriate size system for your home and will handle all maintenance and installation.

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

There is no need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes without ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to reach. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems which use a unit in the attic and ducts for distribution of air throughout the home, uses separate indoor units that are connected to a condenser outside. These units can be mounted on the wall or ceiling and offer versatility in terms of aesthetics and functionality.

In addition to being easier to install, a ductless system is a more efficient option. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in saving energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are being used. This is a great method to reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature inside your home for all its inhabitants.

They are extremely simple to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be cleaned by simply washing the filters and running a defroster periodically. Additionally regular maintenance performed by a professional technician will ensure the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as possible.

Many people utilize ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They are great for adding an extra space to a house or for converting a garage or basement into living space, and for increasing the temperature of a room that is often too hot or too cold.

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

When deciding whether an ductless HVAC system is the best option for your needs, it’s important to consult with an experienced HVAC company.

Energy Efficient

One of the primary advantages of ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re much more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to reduce the energy use and save you money. They do this by actively cooling the areas of your house that are occupied. These systems are perfect for homes with a new garage or addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is transformed into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers themselves run with a fraction of the power needed to cool a home using ductwork since they do not require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that does not have a ductless system.

Additionally, it only takes about 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is a lot smaller than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by a standard HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home functions independently from the others, which means you can cool your bedrooms while leaving the living room at a warmer temperature, and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can adjust it to the preferences of the family members.

Many are thinking of the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to grow. If you do this, your current heating and cooling system could be overworked by trying to regulate temperatures in an extra part of your home without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you manage the temperature in a way that is independent and stop your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This can help you save on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are fairly easy to install, particularly when you are working with a professional HVAC company. These units are usually mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer needs to drill a tiny hole into the drywall to allow for piping. The ductless system will be joined to the home with clamps to hold the piping.

The cooling power of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it is able to cool rooms up to 400 square feet or more. If you own a huge home with multiple stories you might require more than one ductless unit in order to cool your entire home.

Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, allowing the people in each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is an excellent way to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.

Having the ability to control each zone in your home is beneficial when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. With the ductless air conditioning system, you can cool only the areas that are used and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Our technicians can help you create a maintenance schedule that’s suitable for your ductless system and the space it is serving. You can also find out more about maintaining your ductless system by reading our ductless maintenance manual.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are generally more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential loss of energy caused by leaky ductwork that can drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This will help keep your energy costs lower throughout the throughout the year. You can cut down on energy consumption by choosing the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will use less energy to cool your home.

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

The ductless system functions the same as a heat-pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, is able to blow air over evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and then it’s removed outside through tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in a variety of locations, including an attic, a home addition or garage.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They are great for retrofitting an existing home or incorporating air conditioning and also for renovations or new construction in which there isn’t enough space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes that have low ceilings like garages or attics.

A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small home, and it connects just one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with one condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperature of each room independently, which can be especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
