Ductless systems are also perfect for new additions to your home or for older homes without ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy efficient.
No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic solution for homes that do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that are difficult to serve with conventional ducting. Contrary to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in an attic and ducts to move air throughout the house, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units that are connected to one outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on the wall or ceiling and provide a variety of aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system isn’t just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can save you money by cooling and heating the rooms that are actually being used. This is a great way to reduce waste and keep your home at a perfect temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be cleaned by simply washing the filters and using an occasional defroster. In addition regular maintenance by a professional technician will ensure that the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.
Many people prefer to use ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They are perfect to add an extra room to a home or for converting a garage or basement into living space and for boosting the temperature in rooms that is usually too hot or too cold.
A ductless system has the advantage of being much more cost-effective than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year, thanks to the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems can be even more efficient when you add the use of a heat pump that can both cool and heat your home.

Energy efficient
One of the main advantages of ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to decrease your energy consumption and save you money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your house that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes that have an addition or new garage or rooms that are hard to cool and heat with ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers consume only a small amount of power to cool a home with ductwork, because they don’t have to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows the system to attain higher SEER ratings than an ordinary AC system that doesn’t have a system that is ductless.
Additionally, it only takes around 3 inches on your floors, walls and ceilings to run the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is much less than the 12 inches of ducting used by a typical HVAC system.
Each air handler is independent, so you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living space at a higher temperature. This can save energy because it’s not cooling. Each air handler also has its own thermostat programmable which can be used to adjust the temperature according to each family member’s preferences.
As the economy continues to grow many people are thinking about the possibility of adding a gym to their home, bedroom, or other improvements to their home. If you decide to add a home gym, bedroom, or any other home improvement the heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed trying to regulate the temperature in another part of your home that is not served by ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be put in these spaces to give you independent temperature control and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This can help you save on your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are relatively simple to install, particularly when you work with a professional HVAC company. They are usually installed high on an exterior wall, and the installer needs to make a small cut into the drywall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system is then joined to the house clamps that hold the piping and affixed to the wall.
The cooling power of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it can easily cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless unit to cool a large-sized house with many floors.
Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its thermostat, allowing the people in each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to create cooling zones within your home or business.
It is extremely useful to be able to control the temperature in each zone of your home, especially when you have a lot of family members who prefer different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system, you can cool only those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are typically less expensive to run than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential loss of energy caused by leaky ductwork that can significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This can help keep your energy costs at a lower level throughout the year. You can further minimize your energy consumption by selecting a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system with an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will require less energy to cool your home.
A ductless system will also help you save money by offering comfort in zones. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms in your house. This feature is especially useful for families with pets who spend most of their time in one room.
The ductless system functions similar to a heat pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) is able to blow air over evaporator coils which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and then ejected outside via a small gap in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety of places, including garages, attics or home addition.
Mini-split ductless systems can be utilized as stand-alone units, or in combination to cool the entire home. They are ideal to retrofit an existing house or adding air conditioning as well as for renovations or new construction where there’s no room or budget to install air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes with low ceilings, such as garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool small homes and connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with the use of a single condenser. This allows you to control the temperature of each space independently, which can be especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
