Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is the ideal option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will help you choose the right size system for your home and will handle the installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are great for new additions to your home or older ones that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and efficient.
No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioning is a great option for homes that do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that would be difficult to serve by traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems that rely on an attic unit and ducts for distribution of air throughout the house, utilizes 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 aesthetics and functionality.
In addition, it is easier to install and set up, a ductless system can be an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in saving energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature in your home for all its occupants.
They are also easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by simply washing the filters and using an occasional defroster. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system operates as efficiently and smoothly as it is possible for as long as it can.
Many people prefer to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are a great way to add an extra room, convert a garage or basement into a living space, or increase the temperature of a room which is often too cold or hot.
A ductless system has the advantage of being more affordable than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year, thanks to the energy STAR certification. These systems are even more efficient when paired with a heat pump that cools and heats the home.

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 qualified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and help you save money by actively cooling only the areas of your home which are in use. This is why they are ideal for homes with a brand new garage or an addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is transformed into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers run with a fraction of the power needed to cool the entire home that has ductwork as they do not have to work as hard to move and regulate temperatures. This lets the system attain higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t have a ductless unit.
It takes just 3 inches to connect the lines from an outdoor unit up to each indoor air handler. This is less than the 12 inches of ducting used by a typical HVAC system.
Each air handler is independent which means you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living area at the same temperature. This will save energy because it’s not cooling. Each air handler has its own programmable thermostat that can be used to adjust the temperature to suit each family member’s preferences.
Many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to grow. If you do this, your existing heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed by the need to control temperatures in an additional space of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to control the temperature independently and stop your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will help you save money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, especially when you are working with an HVAC professional. They are typically mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer only needs to drill a small hole in the wall to accommodate the pipes. The ductless system is attached to the home using clamps to hold the piping.
The cooling capacity of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it is able to cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless system to cool a large home with many floors.
Certain ductless systems include multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit has its own thermostat, so that occupants can choose the temperature they would like to have in their individual room. This is a great way to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.
It is extremely useful to to control the temperature in every zone of your home, particularly when you have several people living with you who have different preferences for temperature. You can save money using the ductless system by cooling only those rooms that are used.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are typically less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential loss of energy caused by leaky ductwork, which can drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This will help keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can cut down on your energy usage by selecting the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has higher SEER ratings will be more efficient, which means it will require less energy to cool your home.
A ductless system can save you money by providing zoned comfort. With a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room of your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and the living room at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature can be especially useful if you have children or pets who spend a lot of their time in a single room.
The ductless system functions the same as a heat-pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler blows air over the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, and is then released outside through a small hole in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be mounted in many different places such as garages, attics or even a home addition.
Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or be used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence or renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also an excellent choice for homes with low ceilings like in an attic conversion or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small house and connects one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This lets you individually control the temperature of each room, which is especially beneficial for homes with large spaces.
