No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes with no ductwork or 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, employs individual indoor units connected to a condenser outside. The units can be positioned on walls or the ceiling, offering versatility for both aesthetic and practical.
In addition to being easier to install, a ductless system is an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by cooling and heating the rooms that are 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 very easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by simply washing the filters and using a defroster periodically. In addition, regular maintenance by a professional technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.
Many people choose ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They can be used to add an additional room or convert a garage or basement to living space, or boost the temperature of a room which is usually too cold or hot.
A ductless system has the advantage of being much more cost-effective than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. The energy STAR certification for these systems can save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are also more efficient when they are combined with a heating system which cools and heats the house.

Energy Efficient
The fact that ductless systems are less energy-intensive than conventional cooling and heating systems is a major reason to go with them. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and help you save money by cooling only the areas of your home that are occupied. This makes them ideal for homes with a brand new garage or addition or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with ductwork.
Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it into direct current that is fed through individual air handlers within your home. The air handlers use a fraction of power to cool an entire home using ductwork because they don’t have to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than an ordinary AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated air ductless unit.
Furthermore, it takes approximately 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is less than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by a standard HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home functions independently from the others that is why you can cool your bedrooms while leaving the living area at a higher temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler also has its own thermostat programmable, which can be used to adjust the temperature based on each family member’s preferences.
Many people are considering the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to grow. When you do this, your existing heating and cooling system might be overworked by trying to regulate temperatures in an extra area of your house without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be installed in these areas to give you a more independent temperature control, and aid in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This can reduce 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 high on an exterior wall. The installer needs to drill a small hole in the wall to accommodate the pipes. The ductless system is then attached to the house by using clamps that secure the piping and affixed to the wall.
The cooling power of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, which means it is able to cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. You may 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 is equipped with its own thermostat, allowing the inhabitants of each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is an excellent way to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.
The ability to control each zone within your home is useful when you live with many people who all like different temperatures. You can save money with an ductless system that cools only the rooms that are used.

Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are usually cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss due to leaks in ductwork. This could reduce the effectiveness of your system. This will aid in keeping your energy costs lower all year. You can also reduce your energy use by choosing an ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system that has higher SEER ratings will be more efficient, which means that it will require less energy to cool your home.
A ductless system can also help you save money by offering zones of comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and living rooms at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is especially useful for families with pets who spend the majority of their time in one room.
The ductless unit is similar to a heat pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes known as an air handler blows air on the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and is then ejected out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is placed in a variety locations, such as in an attic, home addition or garage.
Mini-split ductless systems can be utilized as stand-alone units, or in combination to cool the entire house. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence, as well as renovations or new construction that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings, like in an attic that has been converted or a garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool homes with small spaces and connects just one indoor air handler with 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 regulate the temperature of each room independently, which is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
