Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

The ductless system is the best option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you choose the ideal size for your home and handle all of the installation and maintenance work.

Ductless systems are also used in older homes or new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is efficient and energy-saving.

No Need for Ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes with no ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to reach. Unlike central AC systems, which rely on one unit in an attic, and ducts to move air throughout the home the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units connected to an outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the ceiling or wall and offer a range of aesthetics and functional.

In addition, it is easier to install, a ductless system is an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will help you save energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are actually being used. This is a great way to reduce waste and maintain the perfect temperature in your home for all its occupants.

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

Many people choose to utilize ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They are a great way to add an extra room, convert a garage or basement into a living space, or boost the temperature of a room which is usually too hot or cold.

A ductless system has the benefit of being much more cost-effective than the newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems could save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems are more efficient when you add the use of a heat pump that also cools and heats your home.

When deciding if a ductless HVAC system is the best option for your needs, it’s crucial to speak with an experienced HVAC company. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians can answer your questions and help choose the right system for your needs. Contact them today to start!

Energy efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is a major reason to consider them. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to reduce your energy usage and help you save money. They do this by actively cooling areas of your home that are used. This is why they are ideal for homes with a new garage or an addition, or that have rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.

Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then transformed into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers consume less power to cool the entire home, as they don’t need to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t come with a air ductless unit.

It takes only 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by the typical HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home functions independently of the others and this means that you can cool your bedrooms while leaving the living room at a higher temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own temperature control, meaning you can fine-tune it to suit the preferences of each member of your family.

As the economy continues to grow many people are thinking about the possibility of adding a gym to their home, bedroom, or other addition to their house. If you make this decision, your existing heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed by the need to regulate temperatures in an additional space of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you control the temperature independently and prevent your home from being over-cooled or overheated. This will help you save on your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are fairly easy to install, particularly when you are working with an HVAC professional. They are usually mounted high up on an exterior wall, so the installer needs to make a small cut into the drywall and then feed the piping through. 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 unit can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, which means it is able to cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless system to cool a large-sized house with multiple floors.

Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat so the occupants can choose the temperature they prefer in their own room. This is a great way to create a true cooling zone at your office or home.

Having the ability to regulate each room in your house is especially useful when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. With the ductless air conditioning system, you can cool only the spaces that are occupied and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.

You can also find out more about how to maintain your ductless system by reading our ductless maintenance manual.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are generally less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss due to leaky ductwork. This could reduce the effectiveness of your system. This can help keep your energy bills at a lower level throughout the year long. You can further minimize your energy use by choosing a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system with a higher SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.

Another way that a ductless system can save you money is through providing zones of comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. You can keep your bedroom and living space at different temperatures without having an impact on other rooms in your home. This feature is especially useful for families with pets who spend most of their time in one room.

The ductless system functions similar to a heat pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler is able to blow air over the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, and is then released outside via a small gap in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in many different places such as garages, attics, or even a home addition.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or be used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They are great to retrofit an existing house or adding air conditioning, as well as for new construction or renovations where there is no space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great option for homes with low ceilings such as an attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool homes with small spaces, and connects only one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This lets you independently control the temperature of each room, which is especially useful for large homes.
