Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

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

Ductless systems can be used in older homes or new additions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy efficient.

No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioning is a great option for homes that do not have ductwork installed or rooms that would be difficult to service with traditional ducting. In contrast to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in the attic and ducts to move air throughout the home, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units connected to one outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on the walls or ceiling, allowing for flexibility in both aesthetic and practical.

A ductless system isn’t only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in saving energy by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce the amount of waste and maintain your home at a comfortable temperature for everyone who lives there.

These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters periodically. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system operates as efficiently and smoothly as it can for the duration of time it can.

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

Another advantage of the ductless system is that they are much more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, ductless systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year, thanks to the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems can be even more efficient when you add the use of a heat pump that both heats and cools your home.

It’s important to work with an experienced HVAC company when considering whether the ductless system is suitable for you. The skilled technicians at Garden City HVAC can answer any questions and help you determine the best system that meets your needs. Contact them now to start!

Energy efficient

The fact that ductless systems are less energy-intensive than conventional cooling and heating systems is one of the main reasons to go with them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to cut down on energy consumption and save you money by proactively cooling the areas of your home that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes with a new garage or addition, or rooms that are hard to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is converted into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers run on a smaller amount of power to cool the entire home using ductwork since they do not require as much energy to move and control temperatures. This allows for a greater SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that does not include a ductless unit.

Furthermore, it takes about 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by a HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home functions independently from the other that is why you can cool the bedrooms while leaving the living space at a higher temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, so you can fine-tune it to suit the preferences of each family member.

Many are thinking of adding a home gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to grow. If you do this, your existing heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an additional space of your home that is not served by ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be installed in these spaces to give you independent temperature control, and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This will aid in reducing your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if work with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically installed on the outside of a wall. The installer needs to drill a small hole into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps that secure the piping and affixed to the wall.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms to 400 square feet. If you own a huge home with multiple stories, you might require more than one ductless unit to cool your entire home.

Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its thermostat, so that the occupants of each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to achieve true cooling zoning at your office or home.

It is extremely beneficial to be able to control the temperature in every zone of your home, especially when you have several members of your household who have different preferences for temperature. With a ductless air conditioning system it is possible to cool only the spaces that are occupied and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t being used.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are usually cheaper to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce any energy loss that may be caused by leaks in air ducts. This can reduce the effectiveness of your system. This can help keep your energy bills at a lower level throughout the throughout the year. You can further reduce your energy use by choosing an ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system with an increased SEER will be more efficient and consume less energy.

Another way that ductless systems can save you money is by offering zones of comfort. Using a remote control, you can adjust the temperature for each room in your house. You can keep your bedroom and living room at different temperatures, without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature can be particularly useful if you have children or pets who spend much of their time in a single room.

A ductless system functions in the same way as a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler blows air on the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, and is then removed out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of places such as garages, attics, or even a home addition.

Ductless mini-split systems can work as a stand-alone unit or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are perfect for retrofitting an old home or incorporating air conditioning and for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or money to install air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes that have low ceilings, such as garages or attics.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually sufficient to cool small houses and connects one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This lets you control the temperature of each room in a way that is especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
