Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the best option for cooling homes without ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will assist you in selecting the best size system for your home, and will take care of all maintenance and installation.

Ductless systems are also utilized in older homes as well as new additions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and efficient.

No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic solution for homes that either do not have ductwork in place or rooms that would be difficult to serve by traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems, which rely on an attic unit and ducts for air distribution throughout the home, employs individual indoor units connected to an outside condenser. They can be hung on the ceiling or wall and provide a variety of aesthetics and functional.

A ductless system isn’t only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in saving energy by heating and cooling the rooms that are being used. This is an excellent way to reduce waste while maintaining the ideal temperature in your home for all its inhabitants.

These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters regularly. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system functions as efficiently and smoothly as it can for the duration of time it can.

Many people choose to utilize ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are great for adding an extra room to a home, for converting a garage or basement into living space and for boosting the temperature in a room that’s often too hot or cold.

Another benefit of the ductless system is that they are more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year with the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are also more efficient when combined with a heat pump which cools and heats the home.

It’s important to work with an established HVAC company when deciding if an ductless system is the right choice for you. The expert technicians at Garden City HVAC can answer any questions you have and help you determine the best system that meets your needs. Contact them today to get started!

Energy Efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more energy-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 save you money by cooling only the areas of your home which are in use. These systems are ideal for homes that have an addition or new garage, or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool using ductwork.

Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then transformed into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers run using a small smaller amount of power to cool a home using ductwork since they don’t need to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not have a ductless unit.

It only takes 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the 12 inches of ducting used by a standard HVAC system.

Each air handler operates independently, so you can cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living room at an elevated 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 family member.

As the economy continues to improve, many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom addition to their house. If you make this decision, your existing heating and cooling system could be overworked by trying to regulate temperatures in an extra space of your home that is not served by ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be installed in these spaces to give you a more independent temperature control and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This can help you save money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are fairly easy to install, particularly when you are working with an HVAC professional. These units are usually mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer needs to drill a small opening in the drywall for the piping. The ductless system then gets connected to the house using clamps that secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. You may need more than one ductless system in order to cool a large home with multiple floors.

Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, allowing the occupants of 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 control every zone in your home is beneficial when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. You can save money with an ductless system that cools only the rooms that are in use.

Contact us today if you are considering upgrading to a ductless AC system or adding air-conditioning for your gym or garage. We’ll assist you in choosing the best ductless system that meets your needs, and we’ll take care of all maintenance and installation services.

Getting the most from your ductless system requires regular maintenance, which includes regular air filter replacements, as well as periodic cleaning and inspection of the evaporator coils and condenser unit. Our technicians can help create a maintenance schedule that’s suitable for your ductless system and the space it is serving. The ductless maintenance manual will teach you more about maintaining your system.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are usually more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of loss of energy due to leaky ductwork, which could greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This will help reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can further minimize your energy use by choosing an ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system that has an increased SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.

A ductless system will also help you save money by offering zoned comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is particularly useful for families with pets who spend most of their time in a single room.

The ductless unit is similar to a heat pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler is able to blow air over evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and is then removed outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is installed in a variety of locations, such as in an attic, home addition, or garage.

Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or be combined to provide whole-home cooling. They are perfect for retrofitting an old home or adding air conditioning as well as for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes with low ceilings such as garages or attics.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool small homes and connects 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 independently regulate the temperature in each room, which is especially useful for large homes.
