Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

The ductless system is the ideal option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you select the best size for your home and handle all of the installation and maintenance work.

Ductless systems can be utilized in older homes as well as new additions that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy efficient.

No Ductwork Needed

Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes with no ductwork, or in rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to access. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems that rely on a unit in the attic and ducts for air distribution throughout the home, employs individual indoor units linked to the outside condenser. These units can be mounted on the wall or ceiling and offer a range of design and function.

A ductless system is not only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great way to reduce waste while maintaining the ideal temperature in your home for all its inhabitants.

These systems are easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by simply cleaning the filters and running the defroster regularly. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system is operating as smoothly and efficiently as it is possible for the duration of time it can.

Many people opt to use ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They are ideal for adding a second room to a home and for converting garages or basement into living space and for boosting the temperature in rooms that’s often too hot or too cold.

A ductless system has the advantage of being much more cost-effective than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems could save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are also more efficient when paired with a heating system that cools and heats the house.

Energy efficient

One of the primary advantages of ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re much more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to cut down on your energy consumption and help you save money. They do this by actively cooling areas of your home that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes that have a new garage or addition or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool using ductwork.

Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves operate using a small smaller amount of power to cool a whole home with ductwork because they do not require as much energy to move and control temperatures. This allows the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t have a ductless unit.

It takes only 3 inches to connect the lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting needed by a HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home operates independently from the others that is why you can cool your bedrooms while leaving the living room at a warmer temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own thermostat that is programmable which you can use to fine-tune the temperature according to each family member’s preferences.

As the economy continues to improve, many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom home improvement. If you decide to add a gym at home, a bedroom or other accessory to your home, your existing heating and air conditioning system might be strained trying to regulate the temperature in a different part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will allow you to control the temperature independently and stop your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will lower your energy bills as well as your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are relatively simple to install, particularly when you have an HVAC professional. These units are often installed high on an exterior wall, so the installer only needs to make a small cut in the drywall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to secure the pipe.

The cooling power of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it is able to cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. It is possible to require more than one ductless system in order to cool a large-sized house with several floors.

Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat so that residents can set the temperature they want in their individual room. This is a great method to achieve true cooling zoning within your office or home.

Being able to control every zone in your house is especially beneficial when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. You can save money with an ductless system that cools only rooms that are in use.

You can also learn more about the maintenance of your ductless system by studying our ductless maintenance guide.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are generally less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential loss of energy due to leaky ductwork, which could drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This will aid in keeping your energy costs lower throughout the year. You can further reduce your energy consumption by selecting a ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system that has an increase in SEER will be more efficient and consume less energy.

A ductless system will also save you money by providing zones of comfort. Using a remote control, you can choose different temperature settings for each room of your house. You can keep your bedroom and living room at different temperatures, without affecting the other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly useful for families with pets who spend the majority of their time in one room.

A ductless system operates similarly to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, blows air over the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, and is then released outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety places, including an attic, home addition, or garage.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as a stand-alone unit or combined to provide whole-home cooling. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence, as well as renovations or new construction that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great option for homes with low ceilings, such as garages or attics.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small house and connects one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with a single condenser. This lets you independently regulate the temperature in each room, which is particularly useful for large homes.
