Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate comfort in your home is made possible by ductless cooling and heating. These systems offer individualized comfort zones and cost savings.
Ductless systems are made up of an outdoor unit, and indoor air handlers that are used to cool or heat specific rooms in your house. They replace baseboard electric heating systems as well as window air conditioners and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are ideal for homeowners who need more control over their cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork to operate and can be put in areas such as garages, sunrooms, and basements that wouldn’t be feasible with traditional systems. Mini-split systems are extremely energy efficient and can save you money on your utility bills.
They make use of an outdoor unit that is small to create heat by drawing it from the outside air, and then transferring the heat to insides to keep you warm in winter. In the summer, they act as air conditioners and remove the heat from your home’s air. Ductless systems work more quiet than traditional systems. The air-handling unit for indoor use also includes built-in filters that improve the quality of the air in your home.
With ductless heating, you can adjust the temperature in each space independently. This is perfect for families with different preferences. Each air handler for indoor use comes equipped with its own thermostat, which allows you to set it according to your family’s needs and lifestyle. This flexibility allows each member of your family to have their ideal living environment.
These systems are more energy efficient than traditional furnaces and air conditioners because they don’t need to cool or heat your entire house all at once. They are energy efficient because they don’t have to exert as much effort to keep the temperature at a comfortable level.
The absence of ducts can reduce energy losses and lowers your heating and cooling bills. If you select a high-efficiency model that uses eco-friendly refrigerants, your ductless model will be even more energy efficient.
Ductless systems are less expensive and efficient than conventional HVAC systems. They are also quieter and simpler for installers to install. They can be mounted on ceilings and walls, and their smaller size makes them less noticeable than ductwork. They’re also more easily installed in new construction or renovations than a traditional system would be. With their simple-to-use smart controls, you can track your energy usage and change your settings remotely on a smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems feature a unique design that offers more energy efficiency than forced-air systems. These systems consist of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers. They are connected via flexible piping which carries coolant and electricity to generate heat. The absence of ductwork prevents thermal leakage and other waste sources associated with duct systems, allowing for superior energy efficiency and cost savings. Furthermore as these systems do not make use of combustible fuels to operate they don’t generate harmful carbon dioxide emissions which makes them an environmentally friendly option for your home or business.
You don’t need to sacrifice energy efficiency to achieve your desired temperature of air. For instance, you could cool the master bedroom to an ideal temperature of 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms in the house, which saves energy and keeps the entire family happy.
The same goes for heating your home. You can set your home office, basement or any other room with an air handler at an appropriate temperature to ensure the comfort of a consistent and comfortable heat throughout your home. You don’t need to worry about using up electricity when you leave an area for a short period of time, since you can turn on the heat with your remote.
A ductless system is a great option to heat or cool a small apartment or an additional room. It will also aid in saving money throughout the year. It can be used to replace an AC unit that is portable and lower your energy bills by providing cooling and heating.
A ductless system could be a fantastic alternative to space heaters, which will save you from having to coordinate the use of several air conditioning units in summer and space heaters in winter. It also improves the indoor air quality and gives your space a more sleek appearance. It’s not a surprise that the ductless system is becoming more well-known.
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems are designed to cool and heat spaces without ductwork, or in areas where the expense of installing ductwork is not included in a new or renovated addition. Ductless systems work well in remodeled rooms in older homes and sunrooms, home additions, and basements that have been renovated. It’s also great for kiosks at offices or in residential spaces that are not in use. With a multi-zone or single-zone solution each indoor unit is equipped with its own thermostat, allowing it to heat and cool only the rooms being utilized at any given moment.
The installation of a ductless heating and cooling system is much simpler and less expensive than a traditional HVAC system since there is no ductwork required. A licensed technician will place the outdoor unit outside of your home on a concrete 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 house it may be necessary to have several indoor units to ensure maximum comfort.
Due to their energy efficiency, ductless systems are very environmentally friendly. They don’t add to the amount of waste generated by the typical household, and they can drastically reduce the carbon footprint of a home.
Ductless systems offer some of the highest SEER ratings in the market. This lets homeowners save money on cooling and heating bills. The most efficient ductless systems available today can save up to 50% of energy bills when compared to split SEER ratings ranging from 14-17.
To ensure it is operating at its peak, a ductless system requires minimal maintenance. Typically, you’ll need to clean your air filters at least once per month, and we suggest scheduling regular professional services. This will ensure that your ductless system operates efficiently and effectively for years to come. In fact a ductless system could last for up to 25 years if it is maintained with regular care and maintenance. Our skilled technicians are ready to answer any questions you have regarding ductless heating and cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems provide a number maintenance benefits that aren’t available with traditional HVAC equipment. Efficiency in energy is among the advantages, since it reduces operating expenses and has a positive impact on the environment. The absence of ductwork also aids in keeping indoor air quality high. The ductwork in a home’s traditional HVAC system may be contaminated by dirt, grime and pet dander rodent droppings, more. In contrast ductless systems’ subtle units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned by a simple swipe of a cloth.
In addition the fact that HVAC systems that are ductless are also less expensive to set up than traditional HVACs. This is due to ductwork being labor-intensive, and installation could be costly, especially in older homes that have uninsulated ceilings and walls. The non-invasive nature of a ductless HVAC system’s installation process that requires the installation of both outdoor and indoor units removes the need for this expense and can be completed in a single day.
In comparison to window-style air conditioners HVAC systems that are ductless are quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the units and how efficient they are. They require less maintenance, with only a few air filters to be replaced and a once-a-year 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 be used in mobile homes or apartments, as well as condos where ductwork is not possible.
