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 appropriate size system for your home and will take care of all maintenance and installation.

Ductless systems are also ideal for adding new features to your home or older homes that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and efficient.

No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioning is an excellent option for homes that do not have ductwork in place or rooms that are difficult to serve with conventional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems, which rely on an attic unit and ducts for distribution of air throughout the home, uses individual indoor units connected to an outside condenser. These units can be mounted on the ceiling or wall and offer versatility in terms of design and function.

A ductless system is not only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will help you reduce your energy costs by heating and cooling the rooms that are used. This is a great method to reduce waste and keep the perfect temperature in your home for all of its inhabitants.

These systems are also very easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by washing the filters and using the defroster regularly. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system operates as efficiently and smoothly as possible for as long as it is able to.

Many people opt to use ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to create an additional room or convert a garage or basement to living space, or increase the temperature of a room that is often too hot or cold.

Another advantage of the ductless system is that they are much more affordable than the latest, high efficiency, ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year, thanks to the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are more efficient if you have the use of a heat pump that also cools and heats your home.

When deciding if a air-conditioning HVAC system is suitable for your needs, it’s important to speak with a reputable HVAC company. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians can answer your questions and help you select the best ductless system to suit your needs. Contact them today to start!

Energy Efficient

One of the main reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re much more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to reduce your energy usage and save you money. They do this by actively cooling areas of your home that are occupied. This makes them 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 then converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers run on a fraction of the power needed to cool the entire home using ductwork since they don’t require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not include a ductless unit.

It takes only 3 inches to connect the lines from the outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting required by a HVAC system.

Each air handler functions independently which means you can cool your bedrooms and keep the living room at an elevated temperature. This will help save energy because it’s not chilled. Each air handler has its own thermostat programmable, which can be used to adjust the temperature based on the preferences of each family member.

Many are thinking of building a home gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to grow. If you do this, your existing heating and cooling system could be overworked by trying to control temperatures in an additional area of your house without ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to regulate the temperature on your own and keep your home from being over-cooled or overheated. This can help you save on your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are fairly easy to install, particularly when you work with a professional HVAC company. These units are usually mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer will only need to drill a small hole in the wall to accommodate the piping. The ductless system is joined to the home with clamps to secure the pipe.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. It is possible to require more than one ductless system to cool a large house with several floors.

Certain ductless systems have several indoor units linked to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, which means 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.

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

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are usually cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss that may be caused by leaky air ducts. This could reduce the efficiency of your system. This can aid in keeping your energy costs lower throughout the throughout the year. You can reduce your energy consumption by choosing the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has an increased SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.

A ductless system can save you money by offering zoned comfort. Using a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room in your house. You can maintain your living room and bedroom at different temperatures, without affecting the other rooms in your home. This feature is especially useful if your children or pets spend most of their time in one room.

A ductless system operates similarly to a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air through evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, is then released outside through tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in many different places such as an attic, garage, or home addition.

Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units, or in combination to cool the entire home. They are ideal for retrofitting an existing home or incorporating air conditioning and also for renovations or new construction where there is no space or money to install air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes that have low ceilings, such as an attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool homes with small spaces and connects one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperature of each room in a way that is especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
