Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and cooling gives homeowners the chance to have the ultimate comfort in their homes. These systems offer individualized comfort zones as well as cost savings, and much more.
Ductless systems are made up of an outdoor unit, and indoor air handlers which heat or cool specific rooms in your home. They replace baseboard electric heating systems, window air conditioners and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems provide homeowners with greater control over heating and cooling. They don’t require ductwork to operate and can be installed in places such as garages, sunrooms, and basements that wouldn’t be feasible with traditional systems. These mini-splits are also very efficient in terms of energy consumption, and could help you save a lot of money on your utility bills.
In winter, they use small units outside to generate heat, and then transfer it indoors. In summer, they change to function as air conditioners by removing heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems are quieter than conventional systems, and the indoor air-handling units include built-in filters to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
With ductless heating, you can alter the temperature in each space independently. This is perfect for families that have different preferences. Each indoor air-handling system has its own thermostat that you can alter in accordance with the needs and preferences of your family. This personalization ensures that everyone in your family can enjoy their ideal living space.
These systems are more energy-efficient than conventional furnaces and air conditioners because they don’t need to heat or cool the entire house in one go. They can save energy because they don’t have to be as efficient in order to maintain the temperature at a comfortable level.
The absence of ducts reduces energy consumption and reduces cooling and heating bills. The ductless system is more efficient if you choose a high-efficiency unit that uses eco-friendly refrigeration.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and convenience, ductless systems are quieter and more simple to install than conventional HVAC systems. They can be mounted on ceilings and walls and their small size makes them less visible than ductwork. They’re also easier to install in new construction homes or renovations than a traditional system could be. With their easy-to-use, smart controls, you can track your energy consumption and alter your settings remotely from computers or smartphones.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are unique in their design and can provide more energy efficiency than forced air systems. They are comprised of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers. They are connected via flexible piping that transports coolant and electricity to generate heat. The absence of ductwork prevents thermal leakage as well as other waste sources that are caused by duct systems making them more efficient in energy and cost savings. Furthermore because these systems don’t use combustible fuel to operate, they also don’t produce harmful emissions or carbon dioxide and are therefore an environmentally friendly option for your business or home.
A ductless system will provide the comfort you need in a zone to satisfy your individual needs, so you don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve the air temperature you want. For instance, you can cool the master bedroom down to 65 degrees comfortably without overcooling other rooms in the house, which saves energy and keeps the whole family happy.
It’s the same with heating your home. You can set the temperature of your basement or home office or any other room with an air handler to a moderate temperature to provide comfortable and consistent warmth throughout your home. You don’t need to be concerned about wasting energy if you leave the room for a few minutes and you can switch on the heating in that area using the remote control.
If you’re cooling an additional space or heating an apartment, a ductless system is a great way to heat and cool your home and save money throughout the year. It can even replace a portable air conditioner and lower your energy bills by providing cooling and heating for your space.
A ductless system could be a great replacement for space heaters, preventing you from having to coordinate the use of several air conditioning units during the summer and space heaters in winter. Plus, it provides an easier-to-clean look to your space and improves the indoor air quality. It’s not a surprise that ductless systems are becoming more popular.
Easy Installation
Mini-splits with ductless technology are designed to cool and heat spaces that do not have ductwork or for areas where a new addition or renovation is not covered by the expense of installing ductwork. A ductless system is perfect for remodeled rooms, sunrooms and basements. It is also suitable for office kiosks and residential spaces that aren’t open for business. Each indoor unit of the single-zone or multi-zone solutions comes with its own thermostat. This allows you to heat and cool the rooms that are in use at any time.
The installation of a air-conditioning and heating system that is ductless is much simpler and less costly than traditional HVAC systems since there isn’t any ductwork required. A licensed technician will mount the outdoor unit on a concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers in your home. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the control wires, equipment, and refrigerant. Based on the size of your home there may be multiple indoor units that need to be installed in order to provide optimum comfort.
Ductless systems are environmentally friendly because of their high energy efficiency. They don’t contribute to the waste generated by a typical household and they reduce the carbon footprint considerably.
Ductless systems boast some of the highest SEER ratings in the market. This lets homeowners reduce their heating and cooling bills. In comparison to traditional split systems with SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s top efficient ductless systems can provide up to 50 percent savings on monthly energy bills.
A ductless system requires minimal maintenance to operate at its peak. It is typical to clean your air filters once every week, and we recommend regular professional service. This will ensure that your ductless system is operating efficiently and effectively for years to come. A ductless system will last for up to 25years or more with proper care and maintenance. Our technicians are available to answer any questions you might have about the ductless heating and cooling system.
Maintenance
Ductless systems provide many advantages in maintenance that aren’t offered by traditional HVAC equipment. Energy efficiency is one of the advantages, since it lowers operating costs and has a positive effect on the environment. The absence of ductwork helps to maintain a high indoor air quality. The ductwork of a house’s traditional HVAC system could be contaminated with dirt grime, bacteria, pet dander rodent droppings, more. Contrary to this ductless systems’ subtle units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned with a simple wipe of a cloth.
The installation of HVAC systems with ductless ducts is cheaper than traditional HVAC systems. It is because ductwork is labor-intensive, and installation can be expensive, especially in older homes that have uninsulated ceilings and walls. This cost can be eliminated through the non-invasive nature the installation of ductless HVAC. It involves the installation of both indoor and outdoor units.
As compared to window-style air conditioners the ductless HVAC systems are quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the units, as well as how efficient they are. They also require significantly less maintenance, requiring only the occasional need to change an air filter or conduct a yearly inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also a good option for retrofits or new construction. They can be used to replace less efficient space heaters, air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can even be used in apartments, condos, and mobile homes, where ductwork isn’t feasible.
If you’re looking for an HVAC system that is able to handle the northern climate, you should consider upgrading to a ductless system. A professional can evaluate the requirements of your house and help you choose the right ductless systems for your home and ensure it’s installed properly. Contact us to get started.
