Ductless air conditioners are a great alternative for homes that do not have ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is a major reason to consider them. These ENERGY START-certified systems are designed to reduce the energy use and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your house that are occupied. This is ideal for homes with a brand new garage or addition or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers require less 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 air ductless unit.
It only takes 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is less than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by a standard HVAC system.
Each air handler operates independently, so you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living area at a higher temperature. This will save energy because it’s not cooled. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, so you can adjust it to the preferences of each family member.
As the economy continues to improve many people are considering building a gym in their home or bedroom addition to their house. When you do this, your existing heating and cooling system could be overworked by trying to regulate 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 stop your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will lower your energy bills and your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if have an experienced HVAC company. They are typically installed on the outside of a wall. The installer only needs to drill a tiny hole into the drywall to allow for piping. The ductless system is attached to the home using clamps to hold the piping.
The cooling power of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, which means it can cool rooms up to 400 square feet or more. If you own a huge home with multiple stories you may need to add more than one ductless unit to cool the entire house.
Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, so that the inhabitants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is an excellent way to create cooling zones in your home or business.
It is very useful to be able to regulate the temperature in every zone of your house, especially when you have a lot of people living with you who are accustomed to different temperatures. You can save money using a ductless system by cooling only the rooms that are in use.

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 down throughout the year. You can reduce your energy usage by selecting the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has an increase in SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
Another way in which ductless systems can save you money is through providing zoned comfort. With a remote control, you can choose different temperature settings for each room in your house. You can keep your bedroom and living room at different temperatures without having an impact on other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly useful when your pets or children spend the majority of their time in one room.
A ductless system functions similarly to a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler, blows air on the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, and is then released outside via a small gap in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of places such as garages, attics, or even a home addition.
Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as standalone units or be used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house and also for new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes with low ceilings like an attic or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small dwelling and connects one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via the use of a single condenser. This lets you individually control the temperature of each room, which is particularly useful for large homes.
