Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal option for cooling homes with no ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you select the best size for your home and handle all of the installation and maintenance work.
Ductless systems can also be used in older homes or new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and energy efficient.
No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes with no ductwork, or for rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. In contrast to central AC systems that use one unit in the attic and ducts to move air throughout the home the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units linked to one outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the ceiling or wall and offer a range of aesthetics and functional.
In addition to being easier to install, a ductless system is more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will help you reduce your energy consumption by heating and cooling only the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce waste while maintaining the ideal temperature in your home for all of its occupants.
These systems are easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by washing the filters and using a defroster periodically. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system is operating as efficiently and smoothly as it is possible for as long as it can.
Many people use ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They can be used to create an additional room, convert a garage or basement to living space, or boost the temperature of a room which is often too hot or cold.
A ductless system has the advantage of being a lot more economical than the newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems could save you hundreds of dollars per year. These systems are also more efficient when paired with a heat pump that cools and heats the home.
When deciding whether an air-conditioning HVAC system is the best option for your needs, it’s essential to consult with a reputable HVAC company.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is a major reason to consider them. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to reduce your energy consumption and save you money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your house that are occupied. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or garage that is new or rooms that are hard to heat and cool using ductwork.
Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is then transformed into direct current and fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers consume only a small amount of power to cool the entire home with ductwork, because they do not have to work as hard in order to regulate temperatures and move air. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that does not include a ductless unit.
It takes only 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by a HVAC system.
Each air handler functions independently, so you can cool your bedrooms and keep the living area at an elevated temperature. This will save energy because it won’t be cooling. Each air handler also has its own thermostat that is programmable that allows you to fine-tune the temperature according to each family member’s preferences.
As the economy continues to recover, many people are contemplating the possibility of adding a gym to their home, bedroom, or other addition to their house. When you make this decision, your existing heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an additional area of your house without ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to control the temperature independently and keep your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will help you save on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are relatively easy to install, especially when you are working with an HVAC professional. They are usually installed high on an exterior wall, and the installer needs to drill a small hole into the drywall and feed the piping through. The ductless system is then attached to the house by clamps that hold the piping, and then fixed to the wall.
A single ductless unit can cool rooms to 400 square feet. If you own a huge home with multiple stories, you might need to install more than one ductless unit to cool the entire house.
Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, which means that the inhabitants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to achieve true cooling zoning within your office or home.
It is very useful to be able to regulate the temperature of each area of your home, especially if you have multiple people living with you who prefer different temperatures. With the ductless air conditioning system, you can cool only the areas that are used and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t being used.

Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are generally cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also reduce any energy loss that may be caused by leaks in air ducts. This could reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help to keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can reduce your energy usage by selecting a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will require less energy to cool your home.
Another way a ductless system can help you save money is by offering zoned comfort. You can make use of a remote control in order to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and living rooms at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms of your house. This feature is especially useful if your children or pets spend the majority of their time in a single room.
A ductless system operates in the same way as a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes known as an air handler blows 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 a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of places such as garages, attics or home addition.
Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as a stand-alone unit or used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They are great for retrofitting an old home or incorporating air conditioning as well as for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or money to install 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 system is typically enough to cool a small house and connects one indoor air handler to an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This lets you independently control the temperature of each room, which is especially suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
