Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal option for cooling homes with no ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you select the best size for your home and will take care of all of the installation and maintenance work.

Ductless systems are great for new additions to your home or older ones that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy efficient and energy efficient.

No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioners are a great alternative for homes that do not have ductwork, or for rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to access. In contrast to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in the attic and ducts to move air throughout the home the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units linked to one outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and provide a variety of aesthetics and functionality.

A ductless system is not just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can aid in saving energy by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great way to reduce waste and keep your home at a perfect temperature for everyone in the.

These systems are also very easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by washing the filters and running a defroster periodically. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system functions as efficiently and smoothly as it can for the duration of time it can.

Many people choose ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They are perfect to add an extra space to a house and for converting garages or basement into a living space, and for increasing the temperature of a room that’s often too hot or too cold.

A ductless system has the benefit of being much more cost-effective than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems could save you hundreds of dollars per year. These systems are even more efficient when paired with a heat-pump, which heats and cools the home.

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 cut down on energy consumption and help you save money by actively cooling only the areas of your home that are occupied. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or garage that is new or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool using ductwork.

Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it into direct current that is delivered to the individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers themselves operate with a smaller amount of power to cool a whole home with ductwork because they don’t have to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that does not have a ductless unit.

Furthermore, it takes around 3 inches on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is smaller than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by the typical HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home works independently of the others and this means that you can cool the bedrooms, but leave the living space at a higher temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own thermostat programmable, which allows you to fine-tune the temperature based on the preferences of each family member.

Many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to grow. If you add a home gym, bedroom or other addition to your house, your existing heating and air conditioning system could be overwhelmed trying to regulate the temperature in another area of your home without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you control the temperature independently and stop your home from being over-cooled or overheated. This can aid in reducing your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are fairly simple to install, particularly when you are working with an HVAC professional. They are usually placed on top of an exterior wall, and the installer needs to make a small cut in the drywall and feed the piping into. The ductless system is then joined to the house clamps that hold the piping before fixing it to the wall.

The cooling power of a single ductless unit can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it can easily cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. You may need more than one ductless system to cool a large home with multiple floors.

Some ductless systems come with several 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 prefer in their particular room. This is an excellent way to create cooling zones in your business or home.

It is extremely beneficial to be able to regulate the temperature in every zone of your home, particularly if you have multiple family members who prefer different temperatures. With the ductless air conditioning system it is possible to cool only those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

You can also learn more about maintaining your ductless system by reading our ductless maintenance manual.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are generally cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also reduce any energy loss that may be caused by leaky the ductwork. This can reduce the effectiveness of your system. This can help keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can further minimize your energy use by choosing a ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system that has a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, meaning it will use less energy to cool your home.

Another way ductless systems can help you save money is through providing zones of comfort. With a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room in your house. This allows you to keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature is especially useful for families with pets who spend the majority of their time in a single room.

The ductless unit is the same as a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler is able to blow air over evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, and then it is ejected outside via tiny holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be installed in a variety of locations, including an attic, home addition, or garage.

Ductless mini-split systems can work as standalone units or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are perfect to retrofit an existing house or adding air conditioning, and also for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or budget to install air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes with low ceilings, like in a converted attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small home and connects one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using one condenser. This allows you to independently regulate the temperature of each room, which is especially beneficial for homes with large spaces.
