Ductless systems are also perfect for new additions to your home or for older homes that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and energy efficient.
There is no need for ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is an excellent solution for homes that either do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that are difficult to service with traditional ducting. In contrast to central AC systems that use one unit in an attic and ducts to move air throughout the home, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units linked to a single outdoor condenser. These units can be mounted on the walls or ceiling, offering versatility for both aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system isn’t just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can help you save energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are being used. This is a great way to reduce the amount of energy consumption and keep your home at the ideal temperature for all occupants.
These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters periodically. In addition, regular maintenance by a trained technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and effectively for as long as it is possible.
Many people prefer to use ductless systems as an alternative to 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 also for boosting the temperature in rooms that is often too hot or too cold.
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 could save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are more efficient when combined with a heat pump that cools and heats the house.
It is important to choose a trusted HVAC company when considering whether the ductless system is suitable for you.

Energy Efficient
One of the primary reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to decrease energy use and help you save money by actively cooling only the areas of your home that are used. These systems are ideal for homes with a new garage or addition, or 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 fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves run using a small smaller amount of power to cool a whole home with ductwork because they do not require as much energy to move and control temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that does not include a ductless unit.
Furthermore, it takes about 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is much smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by a typical HVAC system.
Each air handler functions independently, so you can cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living area at the same temperature. This will save energy because it won’t be cooling. Each air handler also has its own thermostat that is programmable, which you can use to fine-tune the temperature according to each family member’s preferences.
As the economy continues to grow Many people are thinking about building a gym in their home, bedroom, or other addition to their house. If you decide to make this decision, your existing heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed as you try to control temperatures in an additional part of your home without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you regulate the temperature on your own and prevent your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will help you save money on your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if you work with a professional HVAC firm. They are typically placed on top of an exterior wall, and the installer only needs to drill a small hole in the wall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system will be joined to the home with clamps to secure the piping.
A single ductless unit can cool rooms to 400 square feet. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless unit to cool a large house with several floors.
Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, allowing the inhabitants of each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to achieve true cooling zoning at your office or home.
It is very useful to be able to control the temperature in every zone of your home, particularly when you have several family members who have different preferences for temperature. With the ductless air conditioning system, you can cool only the areas that are used and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Our technicians can help develop a maintenance plan that is suitable for your ductless system and the space it serves. Our ductless maintenance manual will provide you with more information about how to maintain your system.
Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are typically cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also prevent any loss of energy that could be caused by leaks in ductwork. This could reduce the effectiveness of your system. This can aid in keeping your energy costs lower all year long. You can also reduce your energy usage by selecting an ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system with an increased SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.
Another way that a ductless system can help you save money is through providing zones of comfort. You can make use of a remote control in order to set different temperatures for each room of your home. You can maintain your bedroom and living space at different temperatures without affecting the other rooms in your home. This feature is especially useful when your pets or children spend most of their time in one room.
A ductless system works similarly to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air through evaporator coils which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, and then it’s removed outside through tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety of locations, including an attic, garage, or even a home addition.
Ductless mini-split systems can work as standalone units or used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house and also for new construction or renovations that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes with low ceilings such as garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small home and connects 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 control the temperature of each room independently, which is especially helpful for large homes.
