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 choose the ideal size for your home and handle all of the installation and maintenance.

Ductless systems can be installed in older homes or new additions that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy-saving.

No Ductwork Needed

Ductless air conditioning is an excellent option for homes that don’t have existing ductwork or for rooms that would be difficult to service with conventional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems, which rely on an attic unit and ducts to distribute air throughout the house, utilizes separate indoor units that are connected to the outside condenser. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and offer versatility in terms of aesthetics and functionality.

A ductless system isn’t only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can assist you in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce waste and keep the ideal temperature in your home for all of its inhabitants.

These systems are also very easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be cleaned by simply washing the filters and running an occasional defroster. In addition regular maintenance by a skilled technician will ensure the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.

Many people opt to use ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to add an extra space or convert a garage basement to living space, or increase the temperature of a space that is often too hot or cold.

Another benefit of ductless systems is that they are much more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems can save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are even more efficient when combined with a heat-pump that cools and heats the house.

It is essential to choose an experienced HVAC firm when you’re considering whether a ductless system is right for you. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians can answer all your questions and assist you to select the best ductless system to suit your needs. Contact them today to get started!

Energy Efficient

The fact that ductless systems are less energy-intensive than conventional heating and cooling systems is one of the main reasons to go with them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to cut down on energy consumption and save you money by cooling only the areas of your home that are used. This is ideal for homes with a brand new addition or garage, or that have rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it to direct current which is fed through individual air handlers within your home. The air handlers use only a small amount of power to cool the entire home with ductwork, because they don’t need to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows for a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that doesn’t have a ductless system.

It takes just 3 inches to run the lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is a lot smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by a standard HVAC system.

Each air handler operates independently which means you can cool your bedrooms and keep the living area at a higher temperature. This will save energy because it won’t be chilled. Each air handler has its own temperature control, meaning you can adjust it to suit the preferences of each family member.

Many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to improve. When you do this, your current heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed by the need to regulate temperatures in an additional area of your house without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be put in these spaces to give you a more independent temperature control, and help your home avoid unnecessary cooling or heating. This can lower your energy costs and your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is simple, particularly if you work with an HVAC company that is professional. These units are usually mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer needs to drill a tiny hole in the drywall for the pipes. The ductless system will be joined to the home with clamps to hold the piping.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms up 400 square feet. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless system to cool a large-sized house with multiple floors.

Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, which means that the people in each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is an excellent way to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.

It is very useful to be able to control the temperature in every zone of your house, especially when you have several family members who prefer different temperatures. You can save money using an ductless system that cools only rooms that are in use.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are generally 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 can help keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can cut down on your energy consumption by choosing a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has higher SEER ratings will be more efficient, meaning it will use less energy to cool your home.

Another way in which ductless systems can save you money is through providing zoned comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature can be particularly useful for families with pets or children who spend a lot of their time in one room.

The ductless system functions the same as a heat-pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, and then it’s removed outside through small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be placed in a variety locations, including an attic, a home addition, or garage.

Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units, or in combination to provide cooling for the entire home. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing home, as well as renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They are an excellent option for homes that have low ceilings such as a garage or attic.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool homes with small spaces, and connects only one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This lets you control the temperature of each room independently, which can be especially helpful for large homes.
