Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate in comfort for your home is achieved with ductless cooling and heating. These systems provide individualized comfort zones as well as cost savings, and much more.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers that can cool or heat certain rooms within your home. They are a replacement for baseboard heating systems as well as window air conditioning systems and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems give homeowners greater control over their heating and cooling. They do not require ductwork and can be installed within areas such as sunrooms or garages. These mini-split systems are also extremely energy efficient and can reduce your energy bills.
In winter, they use small units outside to generate heat, and then transfer it indoors. In the summer, they function as air conditioners and take heat from your home’s air. Ductless systems run more quiet than traditional systems. The air-handling unit for indoor use comes with filters built-in that enhance the quality of the air in your home.
You can customize your temperature settings on a room-by-room basis with ductless heating and cooling which is ideal for families who have different preferences. Each indoor air handling unit comes with its own thermostat, allowing you to set it according to your family’s requirements and lifestyle. This personalization ensures that every member of your family can enjoy their ideal living space.
Since these systems aren’t forced to heat and cool your entire home at the same time They’re much more efficient than conventional air conditioners and furnaces. This is due to the fact that they don’t need to exert as much effort to maintain a consistent temperature, and they conserve energy by not heating or cooling rooms that aren’t being used.
The absence of ducts helps reduce energy consumption, which in turn reduces your cooling and heating costs. If you opt for a high-efficiency model that uses environmentally friendly refrigerants, your ductless system will be even more energy efficient.
Ductless systems are more affordable and efficient than traditional HVAC systems. They are also more quiet and easier to install. They can be hung on ceilings or walls, and their compact design makes them less visible than ductwork. They’re also easier to install in new construction or renovations than a traditional system would be. With their simple-to-use smart controls, you can track your energy consumption and alter your settings remotely using computers or smartphones.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems stand out in their design and provide greater energy efficiency than forced air systems. They include an outdoor unit along with one or more indoor air handlers all connected by flexible piping that transports refrigerant and electricity to create heat transfer. The absence of ductwork minimizes heat loss and waste that comes with duct systems. This results in greater energy efficiency and cost-savings. These systems are also environmentally friendly because they don’t emit harmful emissions or create carbon dioxide.
You don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to attain the desired temperature of air. For instance, you can cool the master bedroom to 65 degrees comfortably without overcooling other rooms of the house. This saves energy and keeps the whole family happy.
It’s the same for heating your home. You can set your home office, basement or any other room that has an air handler set at an appropriate temperature to guarantee an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. Also, you don’t have to be concerned about wasting energy if you leave an area for a short time because you can switch on the heat in the area with the remote control.
If you’re cooling an additional room or heating a small apartment, a ductless system is the ideal solution to cool and heat your home and save money all year round. It can also replace a portable air conditioner and reduce your energy bills by providing cooling and heating for your space.
A ductless system is also an ideal replacement for space heaters. This will spare you from having multiple air conditioners in the summer and space heaters during the winter. Additionally, it gives an improved look in your home and improves the quality of indoor air. It’s no surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly popular.
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems are designed to heat and cool spaces that do not have ductwork, or in locations where the cost of installing ductwork is not included in a renovation or addition. A ductless system works well in rooms that have been renovated in older homes and sunrooms, home additions and basements that have been renovated. It is also perfect for kiosks in offices or residential spaces that are not being used. With a single-zone or multi-zone solution, each indoor unit has its own thermostat, allowing it to heat and cool only the rooms being used at any given time.
Installing a HVAC system that is ductless is simpler and more affordable than a traditional system since there is no requirement for ductwork. A certified technician will install the outdoor unit outside of your home on a concrete pad and connect it to your air handlers. The installers will connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit, which houses the wiring for control, equipment and refrigerant lines. Based on the size of your house, multiple indoor units may be required to be installed in order to ensure optimal comfort.
Due to their energy efficiency Due to their energy efficiency, ductless systems are green. They don’t add to the amount of waste produced by a typical household, and they can drastically reduce the carbon footprint of a home.
Ductless systems have some of the highest SEER ratings available in the industry, allowing homeowners to save a significant amount on their heating and cooling costs. The top ductless systems today can save as much as 50% of energy bills compared to split system SEER ratings ranging from 14-17.
To keep it working at its best, a ductless system requires minimal maintenance. You’ll typically need to clean your air filters once every week, and we suggest regular professional service. This will ensure that your ductless system continues to operate effectively and efficiently for many years to come. A ductless system will last for up to 25+ years with proper maintenance and care. Our experienced technicians are happy to answer any questions you have regarding ductless heating and cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems offer a variety of maintenance benefits that are not offered by traditional HVAC equipment. Efficiency in energy is among the advantages, since it reduces operating expenses and has a positive effect on the environment. The absence of ductwork helps to maintain a high indoor air quality. The ductwork in a traditional HVAC system is vulnerable to contamination by dirt, grime and bacterial. It is also infected by pet dander and rodent droppings. The inconspicuous units of ductless systems are easy to clean and maintain.
The installation of HVAC systems that are ductless is less expensive than traditional HVAC systems. This is because the installation of ductwork is labor intensive and expensive, especially for older homes with ceilings and walls that aren’t insulated. The non-invasive nature of the installation process that involves the mounting of outdoor and indoor units, reduces the cost and can be completed in a single day.
In comparison to window-type air conditioners, the ductless HVAC systems are quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the systems as well as the fact that they are more efficient they are. They also require less maintenance, with just the occasional requirement to change the air filter, and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are an great for retrofits and new construction. They can replace less-efficient space heaters and window air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can also be used in condominiums, apartments and mobile homes where ductwork might not be feasible.
