Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is a great option for cooling homes that don’t 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 constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is efficient and energy efficient.
No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes with no ductwork, or in rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to access. Contrary to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in an attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the house, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units linked to an outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on walls or the ceiling, allowing for flexibility in both aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system is not only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can help you save energy by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce energy consumption and keep your home at a comfortable temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are very easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by washing the filters and running an occasional defroster. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system operates as smoothly and efficiently as possible for as long as it is able to.
Many people opt to use ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They are great to add an extra space to a home, for converting a garage or basement into living space and also for boosting the temperature in a room that is often too hot or cold.
Another benefit of the ductless system is that they are more affordable than the latest, high efficiency, ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year, thanks to the energy STAR certification. These systems can be even more efficient if you have a heat pump, which can both cool and heat your home.
When deciding if an ductless HVAC system is right for your needs, it’s important to consult with an experienced HVAC company. The expert technicians at Garden City HVAC can answer any questions and help you find the perfect ductless system to meet your requirements. Contact them now to start!
Energy Efficient
One of the main 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 cut down on the energy use and save you money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your home which are not being used. This is why they are ideal for homes with a new addition or garage, or that have rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems utilize alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it into direct current that is fed through individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers themselves operate using a small smaller amount of power to cool the entire home with ductwork because they do not need to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that doesn’t include a ductless unit.
It takes just 3 inches to connect the lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by HVAC systems.
Each air handler in your home works independently of the others and this means that you can cool your bedrooms while leaving the living room at a warmer temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, so you can fine-tune it to suit the preferences of each family member.
As the economy continues to recover Many people are considering building a gym in their home or bedroom home improvement. If you add an exercise room, bedroom, or any other home improvement, your existing heating and air conditioning system could be overwhelmed trying to control the temperature in an part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you manage the temperature in a way that is independent and prevent your home from being overheated or cooled. This will lower your energy bills and your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if work with an HVAC company that is professional. These units are often placed on top of an exterior wall, so the installer just has to cut a tiny hole in the drywall and feed the piping into. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to secure the piping.
The cooling power of a single ductless unit 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 house with many floors.
Some ductless systems have several indoor units linked to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, so that the inhabitants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to create a true cooling zone at your office or home.
It is very useful to be able to control the temperature in every zone of your home, particularly when you have several members of your household who have different preferences for temperature. You can save money by using the ductless system by cooling only those rooms that are used.

The ductless maintenance manual will teach you more about how to maintain your system.
Save Money
Ductless AC systems are generally less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss that may be caused by leaky the ductwork. This can reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help keep your energy costs at a lower level throughout the year long. You can further minimize your energy usage by selecting a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system that has an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, meaning it will use less energy to cool your home.
A ductless system will also help you save money by offering comfort in zones. By using a remote control you can choose different temperature settings for each room in your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is especially useful for families with children or pets who spend a lot of their time in one room.
A ductless system operates 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 sucks up heat from the air, then it is ejected outside via small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is installed in a variety of locations, including an attic, a home addition, or garage.
Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or be combined to provide whole-home cooling. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence and also for renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings, like in an attic that has been converted or a garage.
A single-zone ductless unit is usually sufficient to cool small houses, and connects only one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This allows you to control the temperature of each space independently, which is especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
