Maintenance
Ductless systems offer a number of maintenance benefits that traditional HVAC equipment is not able to match. This includes energy efficiency, which contributes to lower operating costs and environmental impact. The absence of ductwork aids in keeping indoor air quality high. The ductwork of a house’s traditional HVAC system could be contaminated with dirt and grime, pet dander rodent droppings, more. By contrast ductless systems’ subtle units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned with a quick swipe of a cloth.
The installation of HVAC systems that are ductless is cheaper than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to ductwork being labor-intensive and installation can be expensive, especially in older homes that do not have insulation ceilings and walls. The non-invasive nature of the installation process that involves the mounting of indoor and outdoor units, reduces the cost and can be completed in just one day.
In comparison to window-style air conditioners, the ductless HVAC systems are quieter. The system’s smaller physical dimensions contribute to this, as does their extremely efficient operation. They also require significantly less maintenance, with just the occasional need to change the air filter, and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also an excellent option for retrofits or new construction. They can replace less efficient air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can be used in mobile homes, apartments, and condos where ductwork is not possible.
