Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is a great option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians can assist you in choosing the best size system for your home and will take care of the installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are also installed in older homes or new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and efficient.
No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioning is a great solution for homes that do not have ductwork in place or rooms that would be difficult to serve by traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems which use an attic unit and ducts for air distribution throughout the home, employs individual indoor units connected to an outside condenser. These units can be mounted on the wall or ceiling and provide a variety of aesthetics and functional.
In addition to being simpler to install and maintain, a ductless system is an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will help you reduce your energy costs by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great way to reduce waste and keep your home at a perfect temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters regularly. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system operates as efficiently and smoothly as possible for as long as it is able to.
Many people prefer to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are ideal for adding an extra space to a house or for converting a garage or basement into a living space and for boosting the temperature of a room that’s often too hot or too cold.
Another advantage of a ductless system is that they are more affordable than the latest high-efficiency, ductless systems. The energy STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems can be more efficient when you add the use of a heat pump that can both cool and heat your home.
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 you choose the right ductless system to suit your needs. Contact them today to start!
Energy Efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is a major reason to choose them. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to decrease energy use and save you money by cooling only the areas of your house that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes with a new garage or addition or rooms that are hard to heat and cool using ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is transformed into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers require only a small amount of power to cool an entire home, as they don’t need to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This lets the system achieve higher SEER ratings than an ordinary AC system that doesn’t come with a system that is ductless.
It only takes 3 inches to run the lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is a lot less than the 12 inches of ducting used by the typical HVAC system.
Each air handler functions independently and can therefore cool your bedrooms and keep the living room at the same temperature. This can save energy since it’s not cooled. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can fine-tune it to suit the preferences of the family members.
Many people are considering building a home gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to improve. If you decide to do this, your existing heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed as you try to control temperatures in an additional space of your home that is not served by ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be installed in these areas to give you a more independent temperature control and aid in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This can help you save money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is simple, particularly if you are working with an experienced HVAC company. These units are usually mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer only needs to drill a tiny hole into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system is attached to the house by clamps that hold the piping, and then fixed to the wall.
The cooling power of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it is able to cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless unit to cool a large home with multiple floors.
Certain ductless systems include several indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit comes with 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 achieve true cooling zoning in your home or office.
It is extremely useful to be able to control the temperature of each area of your house, especially when you have a lot of family members who have different preferences for temperature. You can save money using an ductless system that cools only the rooms that are used.

You can also learn more about maintaining your ductless system by studying our ductless maintenance guide.
Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are generally more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of loss of energy due to leaky ductwork, which could greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This will help keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can also reduce your energy consumption by selecting a ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system with an increase in SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
Another way in which ductless systems can help you save money is by providing zoned comfort. By using a remote control you can choose different temperature settings for each room of your house. This lets you keep the living room and bedrooms at different temperatures without affecting other rooms of your house. This feature is particularly beneficial if your children or pets spend most of their time in a single room.
A ductless system works in the same way as a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler is able to blow air over evaporator coils 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 placed in a variety of places, including garages, attics, or home addition.
Ductless mini-split systems can work as standalone units or combined to provide whole-home cooling. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing home, as well as renovations or new construction that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also an excellent choice for homes with low ceilings, such as in a converted attic or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small home and connects one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using a single condenser. This lets you individually regulate the temperature of each room, which is especially beneficial for homes with large spaces.
