Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal option for cooling homes without ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians can assist you in choosing the best size system for your home and will take care of the installation and maintenance.

Ductless systems are also perfect for adding new features to your home or for older homes which do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy efficient.

No Need for Ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes with no ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to reach. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems, which rely on an attic unit and ducts to distribute air throughout the home, employs individual indoor units linked to a condenser outside. These units can be placed on the walls or ceiling, offering versatility for both aesthetic and functionality.

A ductless system is not just easier 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 the amount of energy consumption and keep your home at a perfect temperature for everyone who lives there.

These systems are also easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters periodically. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system is operating as smoothly and efficiently as it can for as long as it is able to.

Many people use ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They can be used to add an extra space or convert a garage or basement into living space or boost the temperature of a room which is usually too hot or cold.

Another advantage of the ductless system is that they are much more cost effective than newer, high efficiency, ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year with the energy STAR certification. These systems can be more efficient when you add the use of a heat pump that also cools and heats your home.

It’s important to work with an established HVAC company when deciding if an ductless system is the right choice for you. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians will answer all your questions and help you select the best system for your requirements. Contact them now to begin!

Energy Efficient

One of the primary reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and help you save money by proactively cooling the areas of your house which are in use. This makes them ideal for homes that have a new addition or garage or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it into direct current, which is then delivered to the individual air handlers within your home. The air handlers themselves operate on a fraction of the power needed to cool a home using ductwork since they don’t require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that does not have a ductless system.

In addition, it requires about 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is a lot smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by a standard HVAC system.

Each air handler operates independently which means you can cool your bedrooms and keep the living space at a higher temperature. This can save energy because it won’t be cooling. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, which means you can adjust it to the preferences of the family members.

As the economy continues to improve many people are contemplating building a gym in their home, bedroom, or other addition to their house. If you decide to do this, your existing heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed by the need 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 manage the temperature in a way that is independent and stop your home from being over-cooled or overheated. This will help you save money on your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, particularly when you are working with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer needs to drill a small opening in the drywall for the pipes. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to secure the pipe.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. 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 has its thermostat, allowing the inhabitants of each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to get true cooling zoning at your office or home.

It is very useful to be able to regulate the temperature in each zone of your home, especially when you have a lot of people living with you who are accustomed to different temperatures. With the ductless air conditioning system, you can cool only those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.

The ductless maintenance manual will help you learn more about how to maintain your system.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are typically cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss due to leaky the ductwork. This can reduce the effectiveness of your system. This will help keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can cut down on your energy consumption by choosing an appliance that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with an increase in SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.

A ductless system will also help you save money by offering comfort in zones. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and living rooms at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature is especially beneficial if you have children or pets who spend a lot of their time in one room.

The ductless system functions similar to a heat pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, blows air over evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, then it’s removed outside through a small hole in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is mounted in a variety of locations, including an attic, home addition or garage.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as a stand-alone unit or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence, as well as renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They are an excellent option for homes with low ceilings, such as an attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small dwelling and connects one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using a single condenser. This allows you to independently regulate the temperature in each room, which is particularly suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
