Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is the best option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians can assist you in choosing the best size system for your home, and will manage all maintenance and installation.
Ductless systems are also installed in older homes or new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is effective and energy-saving.
There is no need for ductwork
Ductless air conditioners are a great alternative for homes that do not have ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems, which rely on an attic unit and ducts for distribution of air throughout the house, utilizes separate indoor units that are connected to the outside condenser. These units can be placed along walls or on the ceiling, offering versatility for both aesthetics and functional.
In addition to being simpler to install, a ductless system is a more efficient option. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce waste and maintain your home at a perfect temperature for everyone in the.
They are also easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be cleaned by cleaning the filters and running the defroster regularly. In addition regular maintenance by a professional technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.
Many people opt to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to add an extra space or convert a garage or basement into a living space, or boost the temperature of a room which is usually too hot or cold.
A ductless system has the benefit of being a lot more economical than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year with the energy STAR certification. These systems can be even more efficient with a heat pump, which can both cool and heat your home.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are less energy-intensive than conventional heating and cooling systems is an important reason to go with them. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to reduce your energy consumption and save you money. They accomplish this by actively cooling areas of your home that are used. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or garage that is new, or rooms that are hard to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it into direct current, which is then fed through individual air handlers within your home. The air handlers themselves operate on a fraction of the power needed to cool the entire home with ductwork because they do not need to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t come with a air ductless unit.
Additionally, it only takes approximately 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is a lot smaller than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by a typical HVAC system.
Each air handler is independent and can therefore cool your bedrooms and keep the living room at the same temperature. This can save energy because it won’t be cooling. Each air handler comes with its own thermostat programmable that allows you to fine-tune the temperature according to each family member’s preferences.
Many are thinking of adding a home gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to grow. If you decide to do this, your current heating and cooling system might be overwhelmed by the need to regulate temperatures in an extra area of your house without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will allow you to manage the temperature in a way that is independent and keep your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will lower your energy costs as well as your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are simple to install, particularly when you work with a professional HVAC company. They are typically installed on the outside of a wall. The installer will only need to drill a tiny hole in the drywall for the pipe. The ductless system is attached to the home using clamps to secure the piping.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless system to cool a large-sized house with many floors.
Some ductless systems come with several indoor units linked to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, which means that the inhabitants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to get true cooling zoning in your home or office.
It is extremely useful to be able to regulate the temperature of each area of your home, particularly if you have multiple members of your household who prefer different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system you can only cool the spaces that are occupied and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are generally more affordable to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss that may be caused by leaky air ducts. This can decrease the efficiency of your system. This can help reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can also reduce your energy consumption by selecting an ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system with a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will use less energy to cool your home.
A ductless system will also save you money by offering zoned comfort. By using a remote control you can adjust the temperature for each room of your house. This lets you keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is particularly useful when your pets or children spend most of their time in a single room.
The ductless unit is the same as a heat-pump however, it does not have 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 is then released out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in a variety of locations, including garages, attics, or even a home addition.
Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units, or in combination to cool the entire house. They are perfect for retrofitting an existing home or adding air conditioning and also for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or budget to install air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes with low ceilings such as a garage or attic.
A single-zone ductless system is typically sufficient to cool small houses, and connects only one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using a single condenser. This lets you control the temperature of each room in a way that is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
