Ductless systems are also perfect for new additions to your home or for older homes that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is efficient and energy efficient.

No Need for Ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes without ductwork, or for rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to reach. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems, which rely on an attic unit and ducts for distribution of air throughout the home, uses separate indoor units that are connected to the outside condenser. The units can be positioned along walls or on the ceiling, offering versatility for both aesthetics and functional.

In addition to being simpler to install, a ductless system is an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can aid in saving energy by heating and cooling rooms that are actually being used. This is a great method to reduce waste and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone in the.

These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters on a regular basis. Additionally, regular maintenance by a trained technician will ensure that the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as possible.

Many people choose ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They can be used to add an extra room or convert a garage basement into living space or to increase the temperature of a space that is often too hot or cold.

A ductless system has the advantage of being more affordable than the newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems could save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems are even more efficient when they are combined with a heat pump, which heats and cools the home.

Energy Efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is an important reason to choose them. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to reduce your energy usage and save you money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your home that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes that have a new garage or addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers require a fraction of power to cool an entire home, as 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 only takes 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit up to each indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.

Each air handler operates independently, so you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living area at the same temperature. This will help save energy because it’s not cooled. Each air handler has its own temperature control, meaning you can fine-tune it to suit the preferences of each member of your family.

Many people are considering building a home gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to grow. If you make this decision, your existing heating and cooling system might be overwhelmed as you try to control temperatures in an additional part of your home without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you manage the temperature in a way that is independent and prevent your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This can lower your energy bills and also your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are relatively easy to install, particularly when you are working with a professional HVAC company. They are typically installed on the outside of a wall. The installer will only need to drill a small opening into the drywall to allow for piping. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps to hold the piping.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it can cool rooms up to 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless unit to cool a large house with multiple floors.

Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its thermostat, so that the occupants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to achieve cooling zones in your home or business.

The ability to regulate each room in your home is useful when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. With an air conditioning system that is ductless it is possible to cool only those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are typically less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential energy loss caused by leaky ductwork that can drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This will help keep your energy costs lower throughout the year. You can reduce your energy consumption by choosing the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will use less energy to cool your home.

A ductless system can save you money by offering comfort in zones. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms of your house. This feature is especially useful if you have children or pets who spend a lot of their time in one room.

A ductless system works in the same way as a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler blows air on the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air and then released outside via a small gap in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in many different places such as garages, attics, or home addition.

Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units, or combined to cool the entire house. They are perfect for retrofitting an existing home or adding air conditioning, and also for new construction or renovations where there’s no room or budget to install air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings like in a converted attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless unit is typically enough to cool small homes, and connects only one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via one condenser. This lets you control the temperature of each space in a way that is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
