Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

The ductless system is the best option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you select the best size for your home, and take care of all of the installation and maintenance tasks.

Ductless systems are also utilized in older homes as well as new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy efficient.

No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic option for homes that don’t have existing ductwork or rooms that are difficult to serve with conventional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems which use a unit in the attic and ducts to distribute air throughout the home, uses individual indoor units linked to an outside condenser. These units can be mounted on the walls or ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetic and functionality.

In addition, it is easier to install and set up, a ductless system can be more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by cooling and heating the rooms that are actually being used. This is a great way to reduce the amount of waste and maintain your home at a perfect temperature for everyone who lives there.

They are also easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by simply cleaning the filters and running an occasional defroster. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system is operating as efficiently and smoothly as it can for as long as it is able to.

Many people prefer to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are a great way to add an extra space, convert a garage or basement into a living space, or to increase the temperature of a room that is usually too cold or hot.

A ductless system has the advantage of being much more cost-effective than the newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems can be more efficient when you add the use of a heat pump that can both cool and heat your home.

It is important to choose a trusted HVAC company when deciding if a ductless system is right for you. The expert technicians at Garden City HVAC can answer any questions and help you choose the ideal ductless system for your needs. Contact them today to start!

Energy efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is a major reason to choose 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 occupied. This makes them ideal for homes with a new addition or garage, or that have rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers require less power to cool a home, as they don’t need to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t come with a air ductless unit.

It takes just 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.

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

Many are thinking of the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to improve. If you make this decision, your existing heating and cooling system may be overworked by trying to control temperatures in an additional area of your house without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you control the temperature independently and prevent your home from being overheated or cooled. This can lower your energy costs and also your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, particularly when you work with a professional HVAC company. These units are usually mounted high on the wall of an exterior. The installer only needs to drill a tiny hole into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system is joined to the home with clamps to secure the piping.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can easily cool rooms up to 400 square feet or more. If you live in a home with multiple stories you might require more than one ductless unit in order to cool the entire house.

Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit comes with its own thermostat so that occupants can choose the temperature they want in their particular room. This is a great method to get true cooling zoning in your home or office.

It is very useful to be able to regulate the temperature in each zone of your home, particularly if you have multiple family members who have different preferences for temperature. With a ductless air conditioning system you can only cool the areas that are used and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.

Our ductless maintenance manual will provide you with more information about keeping your system in good condition.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are usually less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which could significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This will help keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can further reduce your energy consumption by selecting an ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system with a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, meaning it will require less energy to cool your home.

A ductless system can also save you money by providing zones of comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This lets you keep the living room and bedrooms at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms of your house. This feature can be especially useful for families with pets or children who spend a lot of their time in one room.

A ductless system functions in the same way as a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, is able to blow air over the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and then it is ejected outside via tiny holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is mounted in a variety of locations, such as in an attic, home addition, or garage.

Mini-split ductless systems can be used as standalone units or in combination to cool the entire home. They are ideal to retrofit an existing house or incorporating air conditioning and for renovations or new construction where there’s no room or budget to install air ducts. They’re an excellent option for homes that have low ceilings, such as garages or attics.

A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small home and connects one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with one condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperature of each room in a way that is especially helpful for large homes.
