No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes without ductwork, or in rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to reach. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems which use an attic unit and ducts for distribution of air throughout the home, uses separate indoor units that are connected to the outside condenser. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and offer a range of aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system is not only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can assist you in reducing your energy costs by heating and cooling the rooms that are used. This is a great way to reduce waste and keep the ideal temperature inside your home for all of its inhabitants.
These systems are very easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters regularly. Additionally regular maintenance performed by a skilled technician will ensure that the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as possible.
Many people utilize ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They are a great way to add an additional room or convert a garage basement into living space or boost the temperature of a space that is often too cold or hot.
A ductless system has the benefit of being more affordable than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems are more efficient when you add a heat pump, which also cools and heats your home.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are less energy-intensive than conventional heating and cooling systems is one of the main reasons to go with them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and help you save money by cooling only the areas of your home that are occupied. These systems are perfect for homes with an addition or new garage, or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.
Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is converted into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers use only a small amount of power to cool a home with ductwork, because they don’t have to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than an ordinary AC system that doesn’t come with a ductless unit.
It takes only 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit up to each indoor air handler. This is much less than the 12 inches of ducting used by a typical HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home works independently from the other, which means you can cool the bedrooms, but leave the living area at a warmer temperature, and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own programmable thermostat, which can be used to adjust the temperature based on each family member’s preferences.
As the economy continues to grow many people are thinking about adding a home gym, bedroom, or other addition to their house. If you decide to add a gym at home, a bedroom, or any other accessory to your home the heating and air conditioning system might be strained trying to regulate the temperature in another part of your home that is not served by ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be put in these spaces to give you independent temperature control and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This can lower your energy bills as well as your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if are working with a professional HVAC firm. They are usually installed high on an exterior wall, and the installer only needs to cut a tiny hole in the drywall and feed the piping into. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps that secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.
A single ductless unit can cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless system to cool a large home with multiple floors.
Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, allowing the people in each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to create cooling zones in your home or business.
Having the ability to regulate each room within your home is useful when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. You can save money with a ductless system by cooling only the rooms that are used.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are typically cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also prevent any loss of energy that could be caused by leaky air ducts. This can reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help reduce your energy costs 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 increased SEER will be more efficient and consume less energy.
Another way in which ductless systems can save you money is by offering zoned comfort. You can make use of a remote control in order to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms of your house. This feature can be particularly beneficial if you have children or pets who spend a lot 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, sometimes called an air handler, blows air on the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, then it is ejected outside via small holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in a variety of locations such as garages, attics or even a home addition.
Mini-split ductless systems can be utilized as stand-alone units, or combined to provide cooling for the entire home. They are perfect to retrofit an existing house or incorporating air conditioning and for renovations or new construction where there’s no room or money to install air ducts. They’re an excellent option for homes that have 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 an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with the use of a single condenser. This lets you control the temperature of each space independently, which is especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
