Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

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

Ductless systems can be used in older homes or new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is effective and energy efficient.

There is no need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes without ductwork, or in rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to access. Unlike central AC systems that use one unit in an attic, and ducts to circulate air throughout the home the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units connected to an outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and provide a variety of aesthetics and functional.

In addition to being easier to install and set up, a ductless system can be a more efficient option. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will help you save energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are in use. This is a great way to cut down on waste and keep your home at a comfortable temperature for everyone who lives there.

These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters periodically. In addition regular maintenance by a skilled technician will ensure the system runs smoothly and effectively for as long as is feasible.

Many people opt to use ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They are perfect to add an extra room to a home and for converting garages or basement into living space and also for boosting the temperature in a room that is usually too hot or cold.

A ductless system has the benefit of being a lot more economical than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year with the energy STAR certification. These systems are even more efficient when combined with a heat-pump that cools and heats the house.

Energy Efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is an important reason to choose them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to cut down on energy consumption and help you save money by cooling only the areas of your home that are used. This is ideal for homes with a brand new garage or an addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it into direct current which is delivered to the individual air handlers within your home. The air handlers require a fraction of power to cool an entire home, as they don’t need to work as hard in order to regulate temperatures and move air. This lets the system attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated system that is ductless.

Furthermore, it takes around 3 inches on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is much less than the 12 inches of ducting used by a standard HVAC system.

Each air handler is independent, so you can cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living area at an elevated temperature. This will help save energy because it’s not chilled. Each air handler comes with its own thermostat that is programmable which allows you to fine-tune the temperature according to the preferences of each family member.

Many are thinking of adding a home gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to grow. If you decide to do this, your current heating and cooling system may be overworked by trying to control temperatures in an additional part of your home without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be installed in these spaces to give you independent temperature control and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This will aid in reducing your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if are working with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically installed high on an exterior wall. The installer needs to drill a tiny hole into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to secure the pipe.

The cooling power of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, which means it is able to cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless unit to cool a large-sized house with several floors.

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

The ability to regulate each room in your home is useful when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. With an air conditioning system that is ductless it is possible to cool only the areas that are used and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are typically cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential loss of energy caused by leaky ductwork, which could greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This will help keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can also reduce your energy use by choosing a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system that has a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, meaning it will use less energy to cool your home.

A ductless system can also save you money by offering zoned comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. You can maintain your bedroom and living space at different temperatures without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature can be particularly useful if you have pets or children who spend the majority of their time in a single room.

A ductless system works in the same way as a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) blows air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air and then released outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is placed in a variety places, including an attic, home addition, or garage.

Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units or combined to provide cooling for the entire home. They are perfect for retrofitting an old home or incorporating air conditioning and for new construction or renovations where there is no space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes that have low ceilings like an attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small dwelling, and it connects just one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via the use of a single condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperature of each space independently, which can be particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
