Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and cooling gives homeowners the chance to have the highest level of comfort for their home. These systems can be customized to provide comfort zones with cost savings and more.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit as well as indoor air handlers to heat or cool the rooms of your home. They replace baseboard electric heating systems as well as window air conditioners and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems provide homeowners with greater control over cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork to operate, and they can be put in areas like sunrooms, garages and basements that wouldn’t be feasible with conventional systems. These mini-split systems are also extremely energy efficient and can help you save money on your utility bills.
They utilize an outdoor unit of a smaller size to generate heat by drawing it from the outside air, and then transferring the heat to insides to keep you warm during winter. In the summer, they act as air conditioners, and remove heat from the air in your home. Ductless systems run more quiet than traditional systems. The air-handling unit for indoor use also includes built-in filters that enhance the quality of your home’s air.
You can adjust your temperature settings for each room by using ductless heating and cooling that is ideal for families with different preferences. Each indoor air-handling system comes with its own thermostat that you can adjust according to the needs and lifestyle of your family. This personalization ensures that every member of your family can enjoy their ideal living space.
Since these systems aren’t forced to heat and cool your entire home at once, they’re more efficient than conventional air conditioners and furnaces. This is because they don’t have to be as active to maintain a perfect temperature, and they save energy by not heating or cooling rooms that aren’t being utilized.
The absence of ducts can reduce energy losses and lowers your heating and cooling bills. If you opt for a high-efficiency model that uses environmentally friendly refrigerants, your ductless unit can be even more energy-efficient.
Ductless systems are less expensive and more convenient than traditional HVAC systems. They are also quieter and easier to install. They can be positioned on ceilings and walls, and their small size makes them less obtrusive than ductwork. They can also be erected more easily in new construction or renovations than traditional systems. With their easy-to use smart controls that allow you to track your energy consumption and change your settings remotely from your smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems feature a unique design that provides more energy efficiency than forced air systems. They consist of an outdoor unit as well as one or more indoor air handlers. They are connected by flexible piping that transports coolant and electricity to generate heat. The absence of ductwork decreases the amount of waste and thermal leakage that is associated with duct systems. This translates into higher efficiency in energy and savings. Furthermore, since these systems don’t use combustible fuel to operate they don’t generate harmful emissions or carbon dioxide and are therefore an environmentally friendly option for your business or home.
You don’t need to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve the desired temperature of air. You can cool your master bedroom down to 65 degrees, without overcooling other rooms. This helps save energy and makes the whole family happy.
It’s the same with heating your house. You can set your basement or home office or any other room that has an air handler to a more moderate temperature to ensure comfort and a consistent temperature throughout your home. You don’t need to be concerned about using up energy when you leave an area for a short time and you can turn on the heat in that area using your remote control.
If you’re cooling an extra room or heating a smaller apartment, the ductless system is the ideal solution to cool and heat your space and help save money all year round. It can replace a portable AC unit and reduce your energy costs by providing heating and cooling.
A ductless system is also an ideal replacement for space heaters. It will free you from having multiple air conditioners in summer and space heaters during the winter. It also improves indoor air quality and gives your space a a more streamlined appearance. It’s not a surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly popular.
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems were designed to heat and cool areas without ductwork or in situations in which the cost of installing ductwork is not included in a renovation or addition. A ductless system works well in remodeled rooms in older homes and sunrooms, home additions, and a remodeled basement. It is also perfect for kiosks at offices or in residential spaces that aren’t in use. Each indoor unit of the single-zone or multi-zone solutions comes with its individual thermostat. This allows you to chill and heat the rooms you use at any time.
The installation of a air-conditioning and heating system that is ductless is a lot simpler and less expensive than a traditional HVAC system since there isn’t any need for ductwork. A licensed technician will install the outdoor unit on an outdoor concrete pad outside of your home and connect it to the air handlers in your home. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units with the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the control wires, equipment, and refrigerant. Depending on your home’s size you may require multiple indoor units to achieve the best comfort.
Ductless systems are green due to their energy efficiency. They do not increase the amount of waste produced by the typical household, and they can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the home.
Ductless systems boast some of the highest SEER rating available in the market. This lets homeowners save on their cooling and heating bills. The top ductless systems today can save as much as 50% of energy bills as compared to split system SEER ratings between 14-17.
To keep it running at its peak, a ductless unit requires minimal maintenance. It is recommended to clean your air filters at least once a week, and we suggest regular professional service. This will ensure that your ductless system is operating efficiently and effectively for long time to come. In reality the ductless system can last for up to 25 years with regular maintenance and care. Our skilled technicians are ready to answer any questions you have about ductless heating or cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems can provide a range of benefits to maintenance that traditional HVAC equipment is not able to beat. This includes energy efficiency, which can lead to lower operating costs as well as environmental impact. The absence of ductwork allows to maintain a high indoor air quality. The ductwork of a home’s traditional HVAC system may be contaminated by dirt grime and pet dander, rodent droppings, and more. The unnoticeable units of ductless systems are easy to clean and maintain.
In addition, ductless heating and cooling systems are less expensive to install than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to ductwork being labor-intensive and installation can be expensive, especially in older homes that do not have insulation ceilings and walls. The non-invasive nature of a ductless HVAC system’s installation process that requires the installation of outdoor and indoor units, removes the need for this expense and can be completed in a single day.
Compared to window-type air conditioners, the ductless HVAC systems are quieter. The system’s smaller size contributes to this, as does their extremely efficient operation. They also require less maintenance, with just the occasional need to change an air filter and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pump systems are also a great option for retrofits or new construction. They can replace less efficient air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can even be used in condos, apartments and mobile homes where ductwork may not be feasible.
