Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and cooling provides homeowners a way to achieve ultimate home comfort. These systems can be customized to provide comfort zones with cost savings and more.
Ductless systems are comprised of an outdoor unit as well as indoor air handlers that heat or cool the rooms of your home. They replace baseboard electric heating systems, window air conditioners and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are great for homeowners who need greater control over their heating and cooling. They do not require the use of ductwork and can be placed on areas like sunrooms and garages. These mini-splits are also very energy efficient and can save you a lot of money on your utility bills.
They utilize a small outdoor unit to create heat by drawing it from the air outside, and then transfer that heat indoors to keep you warm during winter. In the summer, they serve as air conditioners, and remove heat from your home’s air. Ductless systems are more quiet than traditional ones, and the indoor air-handling units include built-in filters to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
You can customize your temperature settings for each room with ductless heating and cooling, which is perfect for families with different preferences. Each indoor air-handling system comes with its own thermostat that you can alter in accordance with the needs and preferences of your family. This level of personalization means that everyone in your family can enjoy their ideal living space.
They are more energy efficient than traditional furnaces and air conditioners since they don’t have to heat or cool your entire house at once. They are energy efficient because they don’t have to be as efficient in order to maintain a comfortable temperature.
The absence of ducts helps reduce energy consumption, which in turn cuts down on your cooling and heating costs. The ductless system is more efficient if you choose the most efficient model that utilizes eco-friendly refrigeration.
Ductless systems are less expensive and convenient than traditional HVAC systems. They are also more quiet and simpler for installers to install. They can be mounted on ceilings and walls, and their smaller size makes them less noticeable than ductwork. They can also be put in more easily in new construction or renovations than traditional systems. And with their easy-to-use smart controls, you can keep track of your energy usage and change your settings remotely using your smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are unique in their design and can provide higher energy efficiency than forced air systems. These systems comprise an outdoor unit, as well as one or more indoor air handlers, all connected with flexible piping that is able to carry refrigerant and electricity to produce heat transfer. The absence of ductwork reduces waste and thermal leakage associated with duct systems. This allows for more energy efficiency and lower costs. Additionally, since these systems don’t use combustible fuel to operate, they also don’t produce harmful emissions or carbon dioxide which makes them an environmentally friendly choice for your home or business.
You don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency to achieve the desired temperature. For instance, you can cool the master bedroom down to a comfortable 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms of the house, which conserves energy and keeps the entire family content.
The same applies to heating your home. You can set the basement, home office, or any other room that has an air handler to a moderate temperature for an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. You don’t need to worry about using up electricity when you leave a space for a few minutes, since you can turn on the heat with your remote.
A ductless system can be used to cool or heat small apartments or an additional room. It can also allow you to save money throughout the year. It can also replace the need for a portable air conditioner, and reduce your energy bills by providing heating and cooling for your space.
A ductless system can also be an excellent alternative to space heaters, keeping you from having to juggle the use of multiple air conditioning units in the summer and space heaters in winter. Additionally, it gives a more streamlined look in your home and improves the indoor air quality. With all the benefits of a ductless air system, it’s no wonder why they’re becoming so popular!
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems are designed for heating and cooling spaces without ductwork, or in situations in which the cost of installing ductwork isn’t included in a renovation or addition. A ductless system is perfect for sunrooms, rooms that have been renovated and basements. It is also suitable for kiosks in offices and residential spaces that aren’t open for business. With a single-zone or multi-zone solution, each indoor unit has its own thermostat, allowing it to heat and cool only the rooms being used at any given time.
The installation of a HVAC system that is ductless is much easier and less costly than a traditional HVAC system because there is no need for ductwork. A licensed technician will simply install the outdoor unit on a concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers in your home. The installers will connect a conduit from the indoor units to the outdoor unit which houses the equipment, control wiring, and refrigerant lines. Based on the size of your house, you may need multiple indoor units to achieve the best comfort.
Ductless systems are environmentally friendly because of their high energy efficiency. They don’t add to the amount of waste generated by the typical household, and they also significantly reduce the carbon footprint of a home.
Ductless systems come with some of the highest SEER ratings available in the industry, allowing homeowners to enjoy substantial savings on their cooling and heating costs. The most efficient ductless systems available today can save up to 50% of energy bills when compared to split SEER ratings ranging from 14-17.
To keep it running optimally, a ductless system requires minimal maintenance. It is recommended to clean your air filters at least once a week, and we recommend regular professional maintenance. This will ensure that your ductless system functions efficiently and effectively for long time to come. In fact the ductless system can last up to 25 years if it is maintained with regular care and maintenance. Our technicians are on hand to answer any questions you might have about ductless heating and air conditioning.
Maintenance
Ductless systems provide many advantages in maintenance that aren’t available with traditional HVAC equipment. Energy efficiency is just one of the benefits, as it reduces operating expenses and has a positive impact on the environment. The absence of ductwork helps to maintain a high indoor air quality. The ductwork in a home’s traditional HVAC system can be contaminated by dirt, grime and pet dander, rodent droppings, and more. In contrast, ductless systems’ inconspicuous units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned by a simple swipe of a cloth.
Additionally, HVAC systems that are ductless are less costly to install than traditional HVACs. This is because the installation of ductwork is labor-intensive and can be expensive, particularly for older homes with ceilings and walls that are not insulated. The noninvasive nature of the installation process, which involves mounting indoor and outdoor units, removes the need for this expense and can be completed in just one day.
As compared to window-style air conditioners ductless HVAC systems are much quieter. The systems’ smaller physical size contributes to this, as well as their extremely efficient operation. They require less maintenance as well with just the need for a couple of air filters to be replaced and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pump systems are also a good option for retrofits or new construction. They can be substituted for less efficient space heaters windows air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can be installed in mobile homes, apartments, and condos in which ductwork is not feasible.
