Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is a great option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will help you choose the right size system for your home and will take care of all installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are also perfect for the addition of new rooms to your home or older homes which do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and efficient.
No Need for Ductwork
Ductless air conditioners are an excellent alternative for homes that do not have ductwork, or for rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to reach. Unlike central AC systems that use one unit in an attic, and ducts to circulate air throughout the house, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units linked to an outdoor condenser. The units can be positioned on walls or 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 can aid in saving energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are actually being used. This is a great method to reduce the amount of energy consumption and keep your home at the ideal temperature for all occupants.
These systems are easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by simply washing the filters and running the defroster regularly. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system is operating as smoothly and efficiently as it can for as long as it can.
Many people use ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They can be used to create an extra room or convert a garage or basement into living space or boost the temperature of a room that is usually too cold or hot.
A ductless system has the advantage of being much more cost-effective than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year, thanks to the energy STAR certification. These systems are also more efficient when paired with a heat-pump, which heats and cools the home.

Energy efficient
One of the main reasons to opt for ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to reduce the energy use and help you save money. They do this by actively cooling areas of your home that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes that have a new garage or addition, or rooms that are hard to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is converted into direct current and fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers run with a smaller amount of power to cool a whole home that has ductwork as they do not need to work as hard to move and regulate temperatures. This allows for a greater SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that does not include a ductless unit.
It only takes 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting required by HVAC systems.
Each air handler is independent and can therefore cool your bedrooms while keeping the living space at an elevated temperature. This will save energy because it won’t be cooled. Each air handler comes with its own thermostat programmable that you can use to fine-tune the temperature according to the preferences of each family member.
As the economy continues to improve, many people are considering the possibility of adding a gym to their home or bedroom home improvement. If you decide to make this decision, your existing heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an extra part of your home without ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be installed in these spaces to give you independent temperature control, and aid in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This can help you save on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are fairly easy to install, especially when you work with an HVAC professional. They are typically mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer only needs to drill a small opening into the drywall to allow for pipe. The ductless system is then connected to the house using clamps to secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.
A single ductless unit can cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. It is possible to require more than one ductless system to cool a large-sized house with multiple floors.
Some ductless systems come with several indoor units linked to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, allowing the people in each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to create cooling zones within your business or home.
Having the ability to regulate each room in your house is especially beneficial when you live with many people who all like different temperatures. You can save money with a ductless system by cooling only rooms that are occupied.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are typically less expensive to run than traditional AC systems. They also reduce any energy loss that could be caused by leaky ductwork. This can decrease the effectiveness of your system. This can aid in keeping your energy costs at a lower level throughout the throughout the year. You can cut down on energy usage by selecting a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will require less energy to cool your home.
Another way ductless systems can help you save money is by providing zones of comfort. With a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room in your home. You can maintain your bedroom and living room at different temperatures without affecting the other rooms in your home. This feature can be especially beneficial if you have pets or children who spend a lot of their time in a single room.
The ductless system functions similar to a heat pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, is able to blow air over evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant is able to absorb heat from the air and is then released outside via a small gap in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in a variety of places, including an attic, a home addition, or garage.
Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house, as well as renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes that have low ceilings like an attic or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small house and connects one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with the use of a single condenser. This lets you control the temperatures of each room independently, which can be especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
