Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

The ductless system is the ideal option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will assist you in selecting the right size system for your home, and will handle all maintenance and installation.

Ductless systems are also perfect for new additions to your home or older homes that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and energy efficient.

No Need for Ductwork

Ductless air conditioning is an excellent solution for homes that either do not have ductwork installed or rooms that are difficult to service with conventional ducting. Contrary to central AC systems that rely on a single unit in an attic, and ducts to circulate air throughout the home, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units linked to a single outdoor condenser. The units can be positioned on the walls or ceiling, offering versatility for both aesthetic and practical.

A ductless system is not only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can assist you in reducing your energy consumption by heating and cooling only the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce the amount of energy consumption and keep your home at the ideal temperature for all occupants.

They are extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters regularly. Additionally regular maintenance performed by a trained 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 are a great way to add an extra room or convert a garage or basement into living space or boost the temperature of a space that is often too cold or hot.

A ductless system has the benefit of being a lot more economical than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The energy STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems are even more efficient when they are combined with a heating system that cools and heats the house.

When deciding whether an duplex HVAC system is suitable 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 pick the best ductless system to suit your requirements. Contact them now to start!

Energy efficient

One of the primary advantages of ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to cut down on energy consumption and save you money by actively cooling only the areas of your home that are used. This makes them ideal for homes with a new addition or garage, or that have rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with ductwork.

Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it to direct current, which is then fed through individual air handlers within your home. The air handlers themselves run with a less power than what is needed to cool the entire home that has ductwork as they do not require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that doesn’t have a ductless unit.

It takes only 3 inches to connect the lines from the outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is a lot less than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by a standard HVAC system.

Each air handler operates independently and can therefore cool your bedrooms and keep the living area at the same temperature. This will help save energy since it’s not cooled. Each air handler also has its own thermostat that is programmable that can be used to adjust the temperature according to each family member’s preferences.

As the economy continues to recover, many people are contemplating the possibility of adding a gym to their home or bedroom improvements to their home. If you decide to do this, your current heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed by the need to regulate temperatures in an additional area of your house without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you regulate the temperature on your own and keep your home from becoming over-cooled or overheated. This will aid in reducing your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are relatively easy to install, especially when you have an experienced HVAC company. They are usually mounted high up on an exterior wall, so the installer only needs to drill a small hole into the drywall and feed the piping into. The ductless system then gets joined to the house clamps that hold 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 system to cool a large home with several floors.

Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, so that the occupants of each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to achieve true cooling zoning within your office or home.

It is extremely beneficial to to control the temperature in each zone of your home, particularly if you have multiple people living with you who prefer different temperatures. With the ductless air conditioning system, you can cool only the areas that are used and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.

Our technicians can help develop a maintenance plan that is suitable for your ductless system and the space it serves. You can also learn more about how to maintain your ductless system by studying our ductless maintenance guide.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are usually cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which can drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This will help keep your energy bills at a lower level throughout the year. You can cut down on your energy consumption by choosing an appliance that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has an increase in SEER will be more efficient and consume less energy.

Another way that ductless systems can save you money is by offering zones of comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at different temperatures without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature can be particularly useful for families with children or pets who spend a lot of their time in a single room.

A ductless system operates in the same way as a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air through evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, and is then removed out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be installed in a variety of locations, including an attic, a home addition, or garage.

Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as standalone units or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are perfect for retrofitting an old home or adding air conditioning and for renovations or new construction in which there isn’t enough space or budget for air ducts. They’re an excellent option for homes that have low ceilings, such as an attic or garage.

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