Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal solution for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you choose the ideal size for your home, and take care of all installation and maintenance tasks.

Ductless systems can be utilized in older homes as well as new additions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy efficient and energy efficient.

No need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic option for homes that do not have ductwork in place or rooms that would be difficult to service with conventional ducting. Contrary to central AC systems that use one unit in the attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the house, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units that are connected to an outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and offer versatility in terms of design and function.

A ductless system isn’t just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will help you save energy by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is an excellent way to reduce waste and keep the ideal temperature inside your home for all its inhabitants.

These systems are also very easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters regularly. Additionally regular maintenance performed by a professional technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and effectively for as long as is feasible.

Many people use ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They can be used to add an extra space, convert a garage or basement into living space or boost the temperature of a room that is usually too cold or hot.

A ductless system has the benefit of being more affordable than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year with the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are even more efficient when combined with a heat pump that cools and heats the home.

It is essential to choose a trusted HVAC company when considering whether a ductless system is right for you. The expert technicians at Garden City HVAC can answer any questions you have and help you choose the ideal ductless system to meet your needs. Contact them now to start!

Energy Efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is an important reason to go with them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to cut down on energy consumption and help you save money by proactively cooling the areas of your home that are used. This is why they are ideal for homes with a brand new addition or garage, or that have rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers require a fraction of power to cool a home using ductwork because they don’t have to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This enables the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than an ordinary AC system that doesn’t have a air ductless unit.

It takes just 3 inches to run the lines from the outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by a HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home functions independently from the other, which means you can cool the bedrooms, while leaving the living space at a warmer temperature, and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, so you can tailor it to the preferences of each member of your family.

As the economy continues to recover, many people are considering building a gym in their home, bedroom, or other addition to their house. When you do this, your existing heating and cooling system may be overworked by trying to control temperatures in an additional part of your home without ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be put in these spaces to provide you with a separate temperature control and aid in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This can lower your energy costs and also your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is easy, especially if you work with an HVAC company that is professional. They are typically mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer only needs to drill a tiny hole into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system will be connected to the house using clamps to hold the piping.

A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. If you live in a home with multiple stories you might need to install more than one ductless unit in order to cool your entire home.

Certain ductless systems include multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit has its own thermostat, so that users can select the temperature they want in their particular room. This is a great method to create cooling zones within your business or home.

Having the ability to regulate each room within your home is useful when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. You can save money by using an ductless system that cools only rooms that are in use.

If you’re thinking of upgrading your current AC to a new ductless system or adding a cooling system to your gym or garage contact us today. We’ll assist you in selecting the best ductless air conditioner to meet your needs, and take care of all maintenance and installation.

To get the most from your ductless system, you need to carry out regular maintenance. This includes changing the air filter, as well as cleaning and the condenser and the evaporator coils. Our technicians can assist you to make a maintenance schedule that’s appropriate for your ductless unit and the space it is serving. Our ductless maintenance manual will help you learn more about keeping your system in good condition.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are generally less expensive to run than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential loss of energy due to leaky ductwork that can drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help to keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can reduce your energy consumption by choosing a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with an increased SEER will be more efficient and consume less energy.

Another way that ductless systems can help you save money is by providing zoned comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. You can keep your living room and bedroom at different temperatures, without having an impact on other rooms in your home. This feature is especially useful if your children or pets spend the majority of their time in one room.

A ductless system works similar to a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air through evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and then it is ejected outside via tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety places, including an attic, a home addition or garage.

Mini-split ductless systems can be used as standalone units, or in combination to cool the entire house. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing home and also for new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes with low ceilings, like in an attic conversion or garage.

A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small home, and it connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This lets you independently regulate the temperature of each room, which is particularly useful for large homes.
