Energy efficient

One of the primary reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re much more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and save you money by actively cooling only the areas of your house that are used. These systems are ideal for homes with an addition or new garage or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems utilize alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it to direct current that is directed through the air handlers within your home. The air handlers themselves operate on a smaller amount of power to cool the entire home using ductwork since they don’t have to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This enables the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated system that is ductless.

In addition, it requires about 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by HVAC systems.

Each air handler in your home functions independently from the others and this means that you can cool the bedrooms, while leaving the living room at a higher temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own thermostat that is programmable that can be used to adjust the temperature based on each family member’s preferences.

As the economy continues to grow Many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom home improvement. If you make this decision, your existing heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed by the need to control temperatures in an additional area of your house without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be installed in these areas to give you a more independent temperature control and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This can lower your energy costs as well as your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively easy, especially if you work with an HVAC company that is professional. They are usually installed high on an exterior wall, so the installer only needs to make a small cut in the wall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system is then joined to the house using clamps that secure the piping and affixed to the wall.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, which means it is able to cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless unit to cool a large-sized house with multiple floors.

Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, which means that the occupants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to achieve true cooling zoning within your office or home.

It is very useful to to control the temperature of each area of your home, especially if you have multiple members of your household who are accustomed to different temperatures.

This will help keep your energy costs at a lower level throughout the year. You can reduce your energy consumption by choosing the system that is ENERGY STAR certified.

This lets you keep the living room and bedrooms at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is particularly beneficial for families with pets who spend most of their time in one room.

A ductless system functions similar to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) blows air over evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant is able to absorb heat from the air, and is then ejected out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of locations such as garages, attics or even a home addition.

Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units or combined to provide cooling for the entire home. They are perfect to retrofit an existing house or adding air conditioning as well as for new construction or renovations where there’s no room or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes that have low ceilings such as an attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool small homes, and connects only one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via a single condenser. This lets you independently control the temperature of each room, which is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
