Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal option for cooling homes without ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will assist you in selecting the appropriate size system for your home, and will manage all installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are also ideal for the addition of new rooms to your home or older homes which do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and efficient.
No need for ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic solution for homes that do not have ductwork in place or for rooms that would be difficult to service with traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems that rely on an attic unit and ducts for distribution of air throughout the home, employs separate indoor units that are connected to the outside condenser. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and offer a range of aesthetics and functionality.
A ductless system isn’t only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by heating and cooling rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce the amount of energy consumption and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are also easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be easily cleaned by washing the filters and running a defroster periodically. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system functions as efficiently and smoothly as possible for as long as it can.
Many people choose ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They can be used to add an additional room or convert a garage or basement to living space, or to increase the temperature of a space that is often too hot or cold.
A ductless system has the benefit of being a lot more economical than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems could save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are more efficient if you have a heat pump, which can both cool and heat your home.
It is essential to choose an experienced HVAC company when considering whether the ductless system is suitable for you. The skilled technicians at Garden City HVAC can answer any questions and help you find the perfect system that meets your needs. Contact Garden City HVAC today to begin!
Energy efficient
One of the main reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and help you save money by actively cooling only the areas of your home that are used. This is why they are ideal for homes with a new garage or an addition, or that have rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is transformed into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers themselves operate with a fraction of the power needed to cool the entire home using ductwork since they don’t need to work as hard to move and regulate temperatures. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated system that is ductless.
Furthermore, it takes around 3 inches on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting required by a HVAC system.
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 cooling. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, which means you can tailor it to the preferences of each member of your family.
As the economy continues to improve Many people are contemplating adding a home gym or bedroom home improvement. If you decide to add a gym at home, a bedroom or another accessory to your home the heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed trying to regulate the temperature in another part of your home that is not served by ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be put in these spaces to provide you with a separate temperature control and help your home avoid unnecessary cooling or heating. This can reduce your energy costs and your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if you have an experienced HVAC company. They are typically installed high on an exterior wall. The installer will only need to drill a small opening in the drywall for the piping. The ductless system then gets connected to the house clamps that hold the piping and affixed to the wall.
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 home with multiple floors.
Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, allowing the people in each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to achieve true cooling zoning within your office or home.
The ability to regulate each room in your house is especially useful when you have multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system, you can cool only those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Our manual for maintenance on ductless systems will help you learn more about maintaining your system.
Save Money
Ductless AC systems are generally less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which could significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This will aid in keeping your energy costs lower throughout the year. You can cut down on energy usage by selecting the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has a higher SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.
Another way that ductless systems can help you save money is through providing zones of comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at different temperatures without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is especially useful if your children or pets spend most of their time in a single room.
A ductless system works similar to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes known as an air handler is able to blow air over the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant is able to absorb heat from the air and then removed outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety of places such as an attic, garage, or home addition.
Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units or in combination to cool the entire house. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house or renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great option for homes that have low ceilings like a garage or attic.
A single-zone ductless unit is typically enough to cool small homes and connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This allows you to control the temperatures of each room independently, which is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
