Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the best option for cooling homes with no ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians can assist you in choosing the best size system for your home, and will take care of all installation and maintenance.

Ductless systems can be installed in older homes or new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and energy efficient.

No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes with no ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. Unlike central AC systems that use one unit in an attic, and ducts to move air throughout the home, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units linked to an outdoor condenser. These units can be mounted along walls or on the ceiling, allowing for flexibility in both aesthetics and functional.

In addition to being easier to install, a ductless system is an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can assist you in reducing your energy consumption by heating and cooling the rooms that are 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. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by simply washing the filters and using an occasional defroster. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system is operating as efficiently and smoothly as it is possible for as long as it can.

Many people prefer to use ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They are a great way to add an extra space, convert a garage or basement into a living space, or boost the temperature of a room that is usually too cold or hot.

Another advantage of a ductless system is that they are much more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year by obtaining the energy STAR certification. These systems are more efficient when you add a heat pump, which both heats and cools your home.

When deciding whether a air-conditioning HVAC system is right for your needs, it’s important to speak with a reputable HVAC company. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians can answer all your questions and help you pick the best ductless system to suit your needs. Contact them now to start!

Energy Efficient

One of the main reasons to opt for ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re much more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to cut down on energy consumption and help you save money by proactively cooling the areas of your home which are in use. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or garage that is new, or rooms that are hard to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is then transformed into direct current and fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers run using a small fraction of the power needed to cool a whole home that has ductwork as they do not need to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This allows for a greater SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not have a ductless unit.

Additionally, it only takes around 3 inches on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.

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

As the economy continues to improve, many people are thinking about the possibility of adding a gym to their home or bedroom addition to their house. If you are planning to add a gym at home, a bedroom or another addition to your house, your existing heating and cooling system may be overworked trying to regulate the temperature in another area of your home without ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to regulate the temperature on your own and prevent your home from becoming over-cooled or overheated. This can aid in reducing your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, especially when you work with an HVAC professional. They are typically installed on the outside of a wall. The installer will only need to drill a small opening into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to secure the piping.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. It is possible to require more than one ductless unit to cool a large-sized house with many floors.

Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, so that the occupants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to achieve true cooling zoning at your office or home.

The ability to regulate each room within your home is useful when you have many people who all like different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system you can only cool the areas that are used and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t being used.

Our manual for maintenance on ductless systems will teach you more about how to maintain your system.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are typically cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also reduce any energy loss that could be caused by leaking ductwork. This can reduce the efficiency of your system. This will help keep your energy bills lower all year long. You can cut down on your energy consumption by choosing an appliance that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, meaning it will use less energy to cool your home.

Another way in which ductless systems can save you money is by offering zones of comfort. By using a remote control you can choose different temperature settings for each room in your home. You can keep your bedroom and living room at different temperatures, without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly beneficial when your pets or children spend most of their time in one room.

The ductless system is similar to a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, blows air over the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, then it is ejected outside via a small hole in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is installed in a variety of locations, including an attic, home addition, or garage.

Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as standalone units or be combined to provide whole-home cooling. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing home and also for renovations or new construction that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings, like in a converted attic or garage.

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