No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic option for homes that do not have ductwork installed or rooms that would be difficult to serve by traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems, which rely on a unit in the attic and ducts for air distribution throughout the home, uses separate indoor units that are connected to a condenser outside. These units can be mounted along walls or on the ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system is not only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will assist you in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling only the rooms that are being used. This is an excellent way to reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature in your home for all its inhabitants.
These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters regularly. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system functions as efficiently and smoothly as possible for as long as it is able to.
Many people use ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They are ideal to add an extra space to a home and for converting garages or basement into living space and for boosting the temperature in a room that is usually too hot or cold.
Another benefit of ductless systems is that they are much more affordable than the latest high-efficiency, ductless systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year with the energy STAR certification. These systems are more efficient when they are combined with a heat pump that cools and heats the house.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is one of the main reasons to choose them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to reduce energy usage and help you save money by cooling only the areas of your house that are occupied. This is ideal for homes with a new addition or garage, or that have rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.
Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it to direct current which is fed through individual air handlers within your home. The air handlers use only a small amount of power to cool the entire home with ductwork, because they don’t need to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not have a ductless system.
Furthermore, it takes about 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by HVAC systems.
Each air handler operates independently, so you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living room at a higher temperature. This will help save energy because it’s not cooling. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can fine-tune it to the preferences of each member of your family.
As the economy continues to improve Many people are considering adding a home gym, bedroom, or other improvements to their home. If you are planning to add a home gym, bedroom or another addition to your house, your existing heating and cooling system might be strained trying to regulate the temperature in a different area of your home without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be installed in these areas to give you independent temperature control and help your home avoid unnecessary cooling or heating. This will lower your energy costs as well as your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if work with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically mounted high up on an exterior wall, and the installer just has to cut a tiny hole in the drywall and feed the piping into. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps to hold the piping.
The cooling capacity of a single ductless unit can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, which means it can easily cool rooms up to 400 square feet or more. If you have a large home with multiple stories, you might need to install more than one ductless unit in order to cool the entire house.
Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat so that users can select the temperature they would like to have in their own room. This is a great way to create a true cooling zone at your office or home.
It is extremely useful to to control the temperature in each zone of your house, especially when you have several people living with you who have different preferences for temperature. 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 in use.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are generally cheaper to operate than traditional AC systems. They also prevent any loss of energy that may be caused by leaky the ductwork. This can decrease the effectiveness of your system. This will help keep your energy bills lower all year long. You can further minimize your energy consumption by selecting an ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system that has an increased SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
Another way a ductless system can help you save money is by offering zoned comfort. With a remote control, you can choose different temperature settings for each room of your house. You can maintain your bedroom and living room at different temperatures, without having an impact on other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly beneficial when your pets or children spend most of their time in a single room.
The ductless system functions similar to a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler blows air over evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, then it is ejected outside via small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of places, including an attic, garage, or home addition.
Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence, as well as renovations or new construction that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes with low ceilings such as an attic or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically sufficient to cool small houses and 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 lets you independently regulate the temperature in each room, which is especially useful for large homes.
