Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

The ductless system is the ideal option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you select the best size for your home and will take care of all of the installation and maintenance.

Ductless systems are great for adding new features to your home or for older homes without ductwork. This type of air conditioner is effective and energy efficient.

There is no need for ductwork

Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic solution for homes that either do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that would be difficult to service with conventional ducting. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems, which rely on an attic unit and ducts to distribute air throughout the home, employs separate indoor units that are connected to the outside condenser. These units can be mounted on walls or the ceiling, allowing for flexibility in both aesthetic and functionality.

A ductless system is not just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by heating and cooling the rooms that are actually in use. This is a great way to cut down on energy consumption and keep your home at a perfect temperature for everyone who lives there.

These systems are easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by simply cleaning the filters and running a defroster periodically. Additionally regular maintenance performed by a skilled technician will ensure the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.

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

A ductless system has the advantage of being a lot more economical than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems can save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are also more efficient when they are combined with a heat pump, which heats and cools the home.

When deciding whether you think a ductless HVAC system is the best option for your needs, it’s crucial to talk with an experienced HVAC company. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians can answer all your questions and assist you to select the best system that will meet your needs. Contact them today to get started!

Energy efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is an important reason to choose them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and save you money by proactively cooling the areas of your home which are in use. These systems are ideal for homes that have a new garage or addition or rooms that are hard to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it into direct current, which is then directed through the air handlers in your home. The air handlers run using a small fraction of the power needed to cool a home using ductwork since they don’t have to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than an ordinary AC system that doesn’t have a air ductless unit.

It takes just 3 inches to connect the lines from an outdoor unit up to each indoor air handler. This is much smaller than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by the typical HVAC system.

Each air handler functions independently, so you can cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living space at an elevated temperature. This will save energy because it’s not cooling. Each air handler comes with its own programmable thermostat, which allows you to fine-tune the temperature according to each family member’s preferences.

Many people are considering the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to grow. If you decide to do this, your current heating and cooling system might be overworked by trying to control temperatures in an additional area of your house without ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be installed in these spaces to give you independent temperature control and help your home avoid unnecessary cooling or heating. This will help you save money on your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are simple to install, particularly when you are working with a professional HVAC company. They are usually placed on top of an exterior wall, so the installer needs to cut a tiny hole in the wall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system then gets joined to the house using clamps that secure the piping and affixed to the wall.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms up 400 square feet. You may need more than one ductless unit to cool a large-sized house with several floors.

Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit has its own thermostat so that residents can set the temperature they would like to have in their individual room. This is a great method to create cooling zones within your business or home.

It is very useful to be able to regulate the temperature in each zone of your home, particularly if you have multiple people living with you who have different preferences for temperature. You can save money using an ductless system that cools only those rooms that are occupied.

Contact us today if you are interested in upgrading to an AC ductless system or adding air conditioning to your garage apartment or gym. We’ll help you choose the best ductless AC system for your needs and handle all installation and maintenance.

Getting the most from your ductless system requires proper maintenance, including regular air filter changes and periodic cleaning and inspection of the evaporator coils as well as the condenser unit. Our technicians can help make a maintenance schedule that’s appropriate for your ductless unit and the space it is serving. You can also find out more about the maintenance of your ductless system by reading our ductless maintenance guide.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are usually less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss due to leaky air ducts. This can reduce the effectiveness of your system. This will help reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can further reduce your energy consumption by selecting a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system that has an increase in SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.

A ductless system will also save you money by offering zoned comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and living rooms at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms of your house. This feature can be especially beneficial if you have children or pets who spend a lot of their time in one room.

A ductless system operates similar to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, is able to blow air over the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, then it’s removed outside through tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of locations, such as in an attic, home addition, or garage.

Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units or in combination to cool the entire house. They’re 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 choice for homes with low ceilings, like in an attic that has been converted or a garage.

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