Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the best option for cooling homes with no ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you select the best size for your home, and take care of all of the installation and maintenance work.

Ductless systems are also ideal for adding new features to your home or older ones without ductwork. This type of air conditioner is efficient and energy-saving.

No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes with no ductwork, or in rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to reach. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems that rely on an attic unit and ducts for air distribution throughout the home, uses individual indoor units connected to the outside condenser. These units can be mounted on walls or the ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetic and practical.

A ductless system is not only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will assist you in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling the rooms that are used. This is an excellent way to reduce waste and keep the ideal temperature in your home for all its inhabitants.

They are also easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by simply washing the filters and running the defroster regularly. Additionally regular maintenance by a skilled technician will ensure that the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as possible.

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

Another advantage of ductless systems is that they are more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year, thanks to the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are also more efficient when combined with a heat-pump which cools and heats the home.

When deciding if a air-conditioning HVAC system is the best option for your needs, it’s important to consult with a reputable HVAC company. The skilled technicians at Garden City HVAC can answer any questions you have and help you find the perfect ductless system to meet your requirements. Contact them now to start!

Energy efficient

One of the main reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to reduce your energy usage and help you save money. They do this by actively cooling the areas of your home that are used. These systems are ideal for homes that have an addition or new garage, or rooms that are hard to heat and cool using ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers consume a fraction of power to cool the entire home, as they do not have to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows for a greater SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not have a 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 much less than the 12 inches of ducting used by the typical HVAC system.

Each air handler operates independently, so you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living area at an elevated temperature. This will save energy since it’s not cooled. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can adjust it to suit the preferences of the family members.

Many people are considering the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to improve. If you are planning to add a gym at home, a bedroom or other addition to your house your heating and air conditioning system might be strained trying to regulate the temperature in another part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will let you control the temperature independently and keep your home from being overheated or cooled. This can reduce your energy bills as well as your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are fairly easy to install, especially when you have an HVAC professional. They are typically installed high on an exterior wall. The installer only needs to drill a small hole in the drywall for the piping. The ductless system is joined to the home with clamps to secure the piping.

The cooling power of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it is able to cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. If you live in a house with multiple stories, you may need to add more than one ductless unit to cool your entire home.

Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, allowing the inhabitants of each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to create cooling zones in your business or home.

The ability to control each zone in your house is especially useful when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system you can only cool those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are generally less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which can greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This will help reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can further minimize your energy use by choosing a ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system with an increased SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.

A ductless system can also save you money by providing zones of comfort. With a remote control, you can choose different temperature settings for each room in your house. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature can be especially useful for families with children or pets who spend a lot of their time in a single room.

A ductless system works in the same way as a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) blows air through evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and then it’s removed outside through small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is mounted in a variety of places such as garages, attics, or home addition.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as a stand-alone unit or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing home and also for renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes that have low ceilings, such as garages or attics.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool a small home and connects only one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using a single condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperature of each room independently, which can be particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
