Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate in comfort for your home is made possible by ductless heating and cooling. These systems provide individualized comfort zones as well as cost savings.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers that heat and cool the rooms of your home. They replace baseboard heating systems as well as window air conditioning systems and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are ideal for homeowners who need greater control over their cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork in order to operate, and they can be installed in places like garages, sunrooms and basements that wouldn’t be feasible with traditional systems. Mini-splits are also energy efficient, and can save you a lot of money on your electricity bills.
They utilize an outdoor unit that is small to generate heat by drawing air outside, and then transfer that heat indoors to keep you warm in winter. In the summer, they act as air conditioners, and remove heat from your home’s air. Ductless systems operate more quietly than traditional systems. The air-handling unit for indoor use also includes built-in filters that improve the quality of your home’s air.
With ductless heating, you can alter the temperature in each room individually. This is great for families that have different preferences. Each indoor air-handling system has its own thermostat that you can adjust in accordance with the needs and lifestyle of your family. This personalization ensures that every member of your family can have their ideal living space.
Because these systems aren’t obligated to heat and cool your entire home at once They’re also more energy efficient than traditional furnaces and air conditioners. This is due to the fact that they don’t need to work as hard to maintain a consistent temperature, and they can save energy by not heating or cooling rooms that aren’t being used.
The absence of ducts can help reduce energy consumption, which in turn cuts down on your cooling and heating costs. And if you choose a high-efficiency model that uses eco-friendly refrigerants, your ductless system can be even more energy-efficient.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use, ductless systems are quieter and easier to install than traditional HVAC systems. They can be positioned on ceilings and walls, and their compact design makes them less noticeable than ductwork. They can also be put in more easily in new construction or renovations than traditional systems. With their simple to use smart controls that allow you to monitor your energy consumption and alter your settings remotely using a smartphone or a computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems stand out in their design and can provide greater energy efficiency than forced air systems. These systems consist of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers. They are connected via flexible piping that carries electricity and coolant to create heat. The absence of ductwork reduces the amount of waste and thermal leakage that is associated with duct systems. This translates into higher efficiency in energy and savings. These systems are also eco friendly because they don’t emit harmful emissions or create carbon dioxide.
There is no need to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve your desired air temperature. For example, you can cool the master bedroom to 65 degrees comfortably without overcooling other rooms of the house, which saves energy and keeps the whole family content.
It’s the same with heating your home. You can set the basement or home office or any other room that has an air handler to a more moderate temperature for 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 and you can turn on the heat in the room using the remote control.
A ductless system can be used to heat or cool a small apartment or an additional room. It will also allow you to save money throughout the year. It can be used to replace an AC unit that is portable and lower your energy bills by providing cooling and heating.
A ductless system is also an ideal replacement for space heaters. It will free you from having multiple air conditioners in the summer and space heaters during the winter. Plus, it provides an easier-to-clean look to your home and improves the quality of indoor air. Considering all the advantages of a ductless system, it’s no wonder why they’re becoming increasingly popular!
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems were designed to heat and cool spaces without ductwork, or in locations where the cost of ductwork installation is not included in a renovation or new addition. A ductless system is ideal for sunrooms, remodeled rooms and basements. It’s also ideal for office kiosks or areas that are not being used. Each indoor unit in a multi-zone or single-zone solution has its individual thermostat. This allows you to chill and heat the rooms in use at any time.
Installing a air ductless HVAC system is much simpler and cheaper than traditional systems, as there is no need for ductwork. A licensed technician will place the outdoor unit on the concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers within your home. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the control wires, equipment, and refrigerant. Based on the size of your house, you may need multiple indoor units to achieve maximum comfort.
Ductless systems are environmentally friendly due to their energy efficiency. They don’t contribute to the waste generated by the average household and they reduce the carbon footprint significantly.
Ductless systems offer some of the highest SEER rating available in the industry. This allows homeowners to save on their heating and cooling costs. The top ductless systems today can save up to 50% on energy bills compared to split system SEER ratings ranging from 14-17.
To ensure it is operating at its best, a ductless system only requires minimal maintenance. It is recommended to clean your air filters at least once a week, and we suggest regular professional maintenance. This will ensure that your ductless system operates efficiently and effectively for many the years to come. In fact a ductless system could last for up to 25 years with regular care and maintenance. Our technicians are on hand to answer any questions that you may have about the ductless heating and cooling system.
Maintenance
Ductless systems provide many maintenance benefits that aren’t offered by traditional HVAC equipment. 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 that is typical to an HVAC system is vulnerable to contamination by dirt, grime and bacterial. It can also be infected by pet dander and rodent droppings. By contrast ductless systems’ subtle units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned with a simple wipe of a cloth.
Additionally to that, ductless heating and cooling systems are less costly to install than traditional HVACs. This is because the installation of ductwork is labor-intensive and expensive, particularly for older homes that have ceilings and walls that aren’t insulated. The noninvasive nature of a ductless HVAC system’s installation process that involves the mounting of indoor and outdoor units, eliminates this cost and can be completed in a single day.
Comparing ductless HVAC to window-style systems, they are quieter. The systems’ smaller size contributes to this, along with their incredibly efficient operation. They require less maintenance as well with just one or two air filters that need to be changed and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also a great option for retrofits or new construction. They can be used to replace less efficient space heaters, air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can be installed in mobile homes, apartments, and condos in which ductwork is not feasible.
If you’re in the market for a heating and cooling solution that can handle our northern climate, consider upgrading to a ductless system. A professional can evaluate the needs of your house, help you select the best system for your home, and ensure it is correctly installed. Contact us today to get started.
