Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

The ductless system is the best option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will assist you in selecting the right size system for your home and will handle all maintenance and installation.

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

No need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are a great alternative for homes that do not have ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to reach. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems that rely on a unit in the attic and ducts to distribute air throughout the home, employs separate indoor units that are connected to an outside condenser. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and offer a range of design and function.

A ductless system is not just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can assist you in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling the rooms that are used. This is a great method to reduce energy consumption and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone who lives there.

They are extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters regularly. In addition, regular maintenance by a trained technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.

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 a living space, or to increase the temperature of a room which is often too cold or hot.

A ductless system has the advantage of being much more cost-effective than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year, thanks to the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are more efficient when you add a heat pump, which also cools and heats your home.

When deciding whether an ductless HVAC system is right for your needs, it’s important to consult with an experienced HVAC company.

Energy Efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is one of the main reasons to consider them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and save you money by proactively cooling the areas of your house that are used. This makes them ideal for homes with a brand new addition or garage, or that have rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers consume less power to cool an entire home using ductwork because they don’t need to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than an ordinary AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated system that is ductless.

In addition, it requires approximately 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is much smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by a standard HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home works independently from the other and this means that you can cool your bedrooms, but leave the living room at a warmer temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can adjust it to the preferences of each member of your family.

Many are thinking of the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to improve. If you do this, your existing heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed by the need to regulate temperatures in an extra part of your home 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 heating or cooling. This can aid in reducing your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are relatively simple to install, particularly when you have an HVAC professional. These units are often installed high on an exterior wall, and the installer needs to make a small cut in the wall and feed the piping through. The ductless system then gets joined to the house using clamps to secure the piping and affixed to the wall.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms up 400 square feet. You may need more than one ductless unit to cool a large home with many floors.

Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, so that the occupants of each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to create a true cooling zone at your office or home.

Having the ability to control each zone within your home is beneficial when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. With the ductless air conditioning system you can only cool those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Our technicians can assist you to develop a maintenance plan that is right for your ductless system and the space it serves. The ductless maintenance manual will teach you more about how to maintain your system.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are typically more affordable to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which can drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help keep your energy bills lower all year. You can further minimize your energy consumption by selecting an 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.

A ductless system can also help you save money by offering zones of comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This lets you keep the living room and bedrooms at different temperatures without affecting other rooms in your house. This feature is particularly useful when your pets or children spend the majority of their time in a single room.

The ductless unit is the same as a heat-pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant is able to absorb heat from the air, and is then removed out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in many different places, including garages, attics, or home addition.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or be combined to provide whole-home cooling. They are ideal 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 an attic that has been converted or a garage.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool a small dwelling and connects only one indoor air handler to an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via one condenser. This lets you control the temperatures of each room independently, which can be especially helpful for large homes.
