No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic option for homes that don’t have existing ductwork or for rooms that are difficult to service with traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems which use an attic unit and ducts for distribution of air throughout the home, employs individual indoor units connected to an outside condenser. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and provide a variety of aesthetics and functionality.
A ductless system isn’t only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can help you save energy by heating and cooling the rooms that are actually being used. This is a great method to reduce the amount of energy consumption and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone in the.
They are also easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by simply cleaning the filters and running a defroster periodically. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system is operating as smoothly and efficiently as it is possible for as long as it can.
Many people choose ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They can be used to create an extra room or convert a garage basement into living space or to increase the temperature of a room which is usually too hot or cold.
Another advantage of a ductless system is that they are much more affordable than the latest high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems.

Energy Efficient
One of the main advantages of ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re much more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to cut down on your energy usage and help you save money. They do this by actively cooling 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 utilize alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it to direct current that is directed through the air handlers inside your home. The air handlers themselves operate using a small less power than what is needed to cool the entire home using ductwork since they do not require as much energy to move and control temperatures. This lets the system attain higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t come with a ductless unit.
It takes only 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is much smaller than the 12 inches of ducting used by a typical HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home functions independently of the others and this means that you can cool the bedrooms, while leaving the living area at a warmer temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own temperature control, so you can tailor it to the preferences of each member of your family.
As the economy continues to improve Many people are considering building a gym in their home, bedroom, or other improvements to their home. If you are planning to add a gym at home, a bedroom or other home improvement, your existing heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed trying to control the temperature in an part of your home that is not served by ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be installed in these spaces to give you a more independent temperature control and aid in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This will aid in reducing your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if are working with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically mounted high on the wall of an exterior. The installer only needs to drill a small opening into the drywall to allow for piping. The ductless system then gets attached to the house by using clamps to secure the piping and affixed to the wall.
A single ductless unit can cool rooms up 400 square feet. It is possible to require more than one ductless unit to cool a large-sized house with many floors.
Certain ductless systems have several indoor units that are 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 particular room. This is a great method to get true cooling zoning in your home or office.
Being able to control every zone in your home is beneficial when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. You can save money using the ductless system by cooling only the rooms that are occupied.

Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are generally more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss that may be caused by leaky the ductwork. This can decrease the efficiency of your system. This can help to keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can further reduce your energy consumption by selecting an ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system that has a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will use less energy to cool your home.
Another way in which a ductless system can help you save money is through providing zoned comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. You can keep your living room and bedroom at different temperatures without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature can be especially beneficial if you have children or pets who spend the majority of their time in a single room.
A ductless system works similar to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) is able to blow air over evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air and is then removed outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety of locations, including garages, attics or even a home addition.
Mini-split ductless systems can be used as standalone units, or combined to provide cooling for the entire house. They are perfect to retrofit an existing house or incorporating air conditioning and also for renovations or new construction where there is no space or budget to install air ducts. They are also a great option for homes that have low ceilings like garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool a small dwelling, and it connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via the use of a single condenser. This allows you to control the temperature of each space in a way that is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
