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

No Need for Ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes with no ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to reach. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems that rely on a unit in the attic and ducts for distribution of air throughout the home, employs separate indoor units that are connected to the outside condenser. The units can be positioned on walls or the ceiling, offering versatility for both aesthetic and functionality.

In addition, it is easier to install and maintain, a ductless system is an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will assist you in reducing your energy consumption by heating and cooling the rooms that are being used. This is an excellent way to reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature in your home for all of its inhabitants.

These systems are also very easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters on a regular basis. In addition regular maintenance by a trained technician will ensure that the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as possible.

Many people utilize ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They are perfect to add an extra room to a home and for converting garages or basement into a living space and for boosting the temperature in rooms that’s often too hot or too cold.

Another benefit of ductless systems is that they are much more affordable than the latest high-efficiency, ductless systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year by obtaining the energy STAR certification. These systems can be more efficient if you have the use of a heat pump that both heats and cools your home.

Energy Efficient

One of the main reasons to opt for ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re much more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to reduce your energy usage and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your house that are used. This is 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 are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then transformed into direct current and fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers consume a fraction of power to cool the entire home using ductwork because they don’t need to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not include a ductless unit.

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

Each air handler functions independently which means you can cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living space at the same temperature. This will help save energy because it’s not chilled. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can tailor it to suit the preferences of each member of your family.

Many people are considering building a home gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to improve. If you add a gym at home, a bedroom, or any other accessory to your home the heating and cooling system may be overworked trying to regulate the temperature in a different area of your home without ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be put in these spaces to give you independent temperature control, and help your home avoid unnecessary heating or cooling. This will lower your energy bills as well as your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, particularly when you work with an HVAC professional. These units are usually mounted high on the wall of an exterior. The installer only needs to drill a small opening in the wall to accommodate the piping. The ductless system then gets connected to the house using clamps to secure the piping and affixed to the wall.

The cooling power of a single ductless system can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. If you own a huge home with multiple stories, you may need to add more than one ductless unit in order to cool the entire house.

Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its thermostat, so that the inhabitants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is an excellent way to create cooling zones within your business or home.

It is extremely useful to be able to regulate the temperature in each zone of your home, especially when you have a lot of members of your household who prefer different temperatures. You can save money with a ductless system by cooling only the rooms that are occupied.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are usually cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential loss of energy due to leaky ductwork that can drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can cut down on energy consumption by choosing a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will require less energy to cool your home.

A ductless system can save you money by providing zoned comfort. Using a remote control, you can choose different temperature settings for each room in your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms in your house. This feature is especially useful if you have pets or children who spend much of their time in one room.

The ductless system functions the same as a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and then it is ejected outside via tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety of locations such as garages, attics or even a home addition.

Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as a stand-alone unit or combined to provide whole-home cooling. They are perfect for retrofitting an old home or adding air conditioning, and for new construction or renovations where there’s no room or budget for air ducts. They’re also an excellent choice for homes with low ceilings, such as in a converted attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool a small house, and it connects just one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This allows you to independently control the temperature of each room, which is particularly suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
