Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate in home comfort is possible with ductless heating and cooling. These systems provide individualized comfort zones as well as cost savings.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers that heat or cool specific rooms in 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 heating and cooling. They don’t require the use of ductwork and can be placed in areas like sunrooms or garages. Mini-splits can also be efficient in terms of energy consumption, and could save you lots of money on your utility bills.
They make use of a small outdoor unit to create heat by drawing it from the outside air, and then transferring the heat to insides to keep you warm during winter. In summer, they change to act as air conditioners by removing heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems are quieter than traditional systems and the indoor air handling units come with filters to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
You can alter your temperature settings on a room-by-room basis with ductless cooling and heating, which is perfect for families who have different preferences. Each indoor air-handling system has its own thermostat that you can alter in accordance with the needs and lifestyle of your family. This flexibility allows each member of your family to have their ideal home environment.
Since these systems don’t have to cool and heat your entire house at once They’re also more energy efficient than traditional air conditioners and furnaces. This is because they don’t have to exert as much effort to maintain a perfect temperature, and they can conserve energy by not heating or cooling rooms that aren’t in use.
The absence of ducts can help reduce energy consumption, which in turn cuts down on your cooling and heating costs. Your ductless system is more efficient if you select a high-efficiency unit that uses eco-friendly refrigeration.
Ductless systems are less expensive and efficient than traditional HVAC systems. They are also quieter and easier for installers to install. They can be hung on ceilings or walls, and their compact design makes them less visible than ductwork. They’re also more easily installed in new construction homes or renovations than a traditional system would be. And with their easy-to-use smart controls, you can keep track of your energy consumption and alter your settings remotely from a smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are unique in their design and provide greater energy efficiency than forced air systems. These systems consist of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers. They are connected by flexible piping which carries the electricity and coolant to produce heat. The absence of ductwork eliminates thermal leakage and other sources of waste that are associated with duct systems, which means that they are more efficient in energy use and cost savings. Moreover because these systems don’t make use of combustible fuels to operate, they also don’t produce harmful emissions or carbon dioxide which makes them an environmentally friendly choice for your business or home.
A ductless system can provide zones of comfort that can meet your specific needs and needs, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency to achieve the temperature you desire. For instance, you can cool the master bedroom down to a comfortable 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms of the house, which conserves energy and keeps the whole family content.
The same goes for heating your home. You can set your basement, home office or any other room that has an air handler at an appropriate temperature to guarantee the comfort of a consistent and comfortable heat throughout your home. You don’t need to worry about wasting energy when you leave a space for a few minutes since you can turn on the heat using your remote.
A ductless system is a great option to heat or cool a small apartment or a spare room. It will also aid in saving money throughout the year. It can also replace the need for a portable air conditioner, and reduce your energy bills by providing heating and cooling for your space.
A ductless system can also be an excellent alternative to space heaters. This will spare you from having multiple air conditioners in summer, and space heaters in the winter. It also improves indoor air quality and gives your space a more sleek appearance. It’s not a surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly well-known.
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems were designed to cool and heat areas without ductwork or in situations where the expense of ductwork installation is not included in a renovation or new addition. A ductless system is ideal for sunrooms, remodeled rooms and basements. It is also suitable for office kiosks and off-hours residential spaces. With a multi-zone or single-zone solution each indoor unit comes with its own thermostat, making it possible to cool and heat only the rooms that are being used at any given time.
Installing a ductless HVAC system is easier and more affordable than a traditional one because there is no requirement for ductwork. A licensed technician will place the outdoor unit outside of your home on an asphalt pad and connect it to your air handlers. Installers will run a conduit to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the wiring, control wires and refrigerant. Based on the size of your home, multiple indoor units may be required to be set up to provide optimum comfort.
Ductless systems are eco-friendly due to their high energy efficiency. They don’t add to the waste generated by the average household, and they reduce carbon footprint by a significant amount.
Ductless systems offer some of the highest SEER ratings in the market. This allows homeowners to save money on cooling and heating bills. The most efficient ductless systems available are able to save up to 50% of energy bills when compared to split SEER ratings between 14-17.
To keep it working optimally, a ductless system only requires minimal maintenance. In general, you’ll need to clean your air filters at least once per month, and we recommend scheduling regular professional services. This will ensure that your system is operating efficiently and effectively for many years to come. A ductless system will last for up to 25+ years with proper care and maintenance. Our technicians are on hand to answer any questions you may have about ductless heating and air conditioning.
Maintenance
Ductless systems provide a number maintenance benefits that are not accessible with traditional HVAC equipment. Energy efficiency is just one of the benefits, as it lowers operating costs and has a positive impact on the environment. The absence of ductwork can help to maintain high indoor air quality. The ductwork in a traditional HVAC system is vulnerable to contamination by dirt, grime and bacteria. It could also be infected by pet dander and rodent droppings. By contrast the ductless units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned by a simple swipe of a cloth.
The installation of HVAC systems with ductless ducts is less expensive than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to ductwork being labor-intensive and installation can be expensive, especially in older homes with uninsulated ceilings and walls. This expense can be cut by the non-invasive nature of the ductless HVAC installation procedure. It involves the installation of both indoor and outdoor units.
As compared to window-style air conditioners ductless HVAC systems are much quieter. The smaller physical dimensions contribute to this, as well as their incredibly efficient operation. They require less maintenance as well with just a few air filters to be changed and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pump systems are also a good option for retrofits or new construction. They can be used to replace less efficient space heaters and window air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can be installed in mobile homes, apartments, and condos where ductwork isn’t feasible.
If you’re looking for an HVAC system that can handle our harsh northern climate, you should consider upgrading to a ductless system.
