Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the best option for cooling homes with no ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you choose the ideal size for your home and handle all of the installation and maintenance.

Ductless systems can also be used in older homes or new additions that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy-saving.

No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioning is an excellent option for homes that do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that would be difficult to service by traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems which use an attic unit and ducts to distribute air throughout the home, uses individual indoor units connected to the outside condenser. These units can be mounted on the ceiling or wall and provide a variety of design and function.

In addition, it is easier to install and set up, a ductless system can be a more efficient option. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by heating and cooling the rooms that are actually being used. This is a great method to cut down on energy consumption and keep your home at a perfect temperature for everyone who lives there.

They are extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters regularly. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system functions as smoothly and efficiently as possible for the duration of time it can.

Many people choose ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They are great to add an extra room to a home, for converting a garage or basement into living space, and for increasing the temperature in a room 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 can save you hundreds of dollars per year. These systems are even more efficient when paired with a heat-pump, which heats and cools the house.

It is important to choose an experienced HVAC firm when you’re considering whether an ductless system is the right choice for you.

Energy efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is an important reason to consider them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to decrease energy use and help you save money by cooling only the areas of your house that are used. This makes them ideal for homes with a new garage or an addition, 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, which is then fed through individual air handlers within your home. The air handlers use a fraction of power to cool the entire home, as they don’t have to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t have a air ductless unit.

It only takes 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit up to each indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by HVAC systems.

Each air handler is independent, so you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living room at an elevated temperature. This will help save energy since it’s not cooled. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, so you can tailor it to suit the preferences of the family members.

Many people are considering the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to improve. When you do this, your existing heating and cooling system might be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an additional space of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you control the temperature independently and keep your home from being over-cooled or overheated. This can reduce your energy bills and your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are relatively simple to install, particularly when you are working with an HVAC professional. These units are usually mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer needs to drill a small hole in the wall to accommodate the piping. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps to secure the pipe.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, which means it can cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. If you have a large home with multiple stories you may need to add more than one ductless unit to cool the entire house.

Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit has its own thermostat, so that residents can set the temperature they want in their own room. This is a great method to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.

Being able to control each zone in your home is useful when you live with many people who all like different temperatures. You can save money using an ductless system that cools only the rooms that are in use.

You can also learn more about maintaining your ductless system by reading our ductless maintenance guide.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are generally more affordable to run than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of loss of energy due to leaky ductwork, which could drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can cut down on your energy usage by selecting a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has higher SEER ratings will be more efficient, which means it will require less energy to cool your home.

Another way that ductless systems can help you save money is through providing zones of comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. You can keep your bedroom and living space at different temperatures, without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly beneficial for families with pets who spend the majority of their time in a single room.

The ductless system is the same as a heat-pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, is then released outside through small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be placed in a variety of locations such as garages, attics, or even a home addition.

Ductless mini-split systems can work as standalone units or combined to provide whole-home cooling. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence or 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 a garage or attic.

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