Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

The ductless system is the ideal option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will help you choose the best size system for your home, and will manage the installation and maintenance.

Ductless systems are great for the addition of new rooms to your home or older ones that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy-saving.

No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioning is an excellent option for homes that do not have ductwork in place or for rooms that would be difficult to service with traditional ducting. Contrary to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in an attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the home, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units that are connected to one outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and offer versatility in terms of aesthetics and functionality.

In addition to being easier to install and set up, a ductless system can be more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in reducing your energy consumption by heating and cooling the rooms that are being used. This is a great method to reduce the amount of energy consumption and keep your home at a perfect temperature for everyone in the.

They are extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters on a regular basis. In addition regular maintenance performed by a trained technician will ensure the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.

Many people prefer to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are perfect for adding an extra space to a home and for converting garages or basement into a living space and for boosting the temperature in rooms that’s often too hot or too cold.

A ductless system has the benefit of being a lot more economical than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year with the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems can be more efficient when you add a heat pump, which can both cool and heat your home.

It’s important to work with a trusted HVAC company when deciding if a ductless system is right for you. The skilled technicians at Garden City HVAC can answer any questions you may have and assist you to choose the ideal ductless system for your requirements. Contact them today to get started!

Energy Efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is one of the main reasons to go with them. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to reduce your energy consumption and help you save money. They do this by actively cooling the areas of your house that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes that have an addition or garage that is new, or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then transformed into direct current and then fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers themselves operate with a smaller amount of power to cool a home with ductwork because they don’t have to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not include a ductless unit.

It takes only 3 inches to connect 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 HVAC systems.

Each air handler functions independently which means you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living area at an elevated temperature. This will save energy because it’s not cooled. Each air handler also has its own thermostat programmable which you can use to fine-tune the temperature based on each family member’s preferences.

Many are thinking of adding a home gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to improve. If you are planning to add a home gym, bedroom or other accessory to your home, your existing heating and cooling system may be overworked trying to regulate the temperature in a different area of your home without ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to manage the temperature in a way that is independent and stop your home from being overheated or cooled. This will lower your energy bills as well as your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively easy, especially if you are working with an experienced HVAC company. They are usually mounted high up on an exterior wall, and the installer only needs to drill a small hole into the drywall and feed the piping through. The ductless system is connected to the house clamps that hold the piping and affixed to the wall.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it can easily cool rooms up to 400 square feet or more. If you live in a house 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 that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, which means that the occupants of each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is an excellent way to create cooling zones within your business or home.

Being able to control each zone in your home is useful when you have multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. You can save money using a ductless system by cooling only rooms that are used.

You can also find out more about the maintenance of your ductless system by reading our ductless maintenance guide.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are generally cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential loss of energy due to leaky ductwork, which can significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This can help keep your energy bills lower all year long. You can further minimize your energy use by choosing a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system with a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will use less energy to cool your home.

Another way ductless systems can save you money is by offering zoned comfort. By using a remote control you can choose different temperature settings for each room of your house. You can maintain your living room and bedroom at different temperatures, without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature can be particularly useful if you have pets or children who spend much of their time in one room.

A ductless system operates similarly to a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit, also known as an air handler blows air on evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air and then released out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is installed in a variety of places, including an attic, home addition or garage.

Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units, or combined to cool the entire home. They are ideal to retrofit an existing house or incorporating air conditioning and for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or budget to install air ducts. They are an excellent option for homes that have low ceilings such as garages or attics.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool small homes and connects just one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via one condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperatures of each room in a way that is especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
