Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate in home comfort is achieved with ductless heating and cooling. These systems offer individualized comfort zones, cost savings and more.
Ductless systems comprise of an outdoor unit, and indoor air handlers that are used to cool or heat specific rooms within your home. They replace baseboard heating systems windows, window air conditioning and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems offer homeowners greater control over cooling and heating. They do not require ductwork and can be installed in areas like sunrooms or garages. These mini-splits are also very efficient in terms of energy consumption, and could save you lots of money on your electricity bills.
They utilize an outdoor unit of a smaller size to generate heat by drawing it from the air outside, then transfer that heat indoors to keep you warm in winter. In the summer, they function as air conditioners, and remove heat from the air in your home. Ductless systems are more quiet than traditional ones and the indoor air-handling units have 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 that is ideal for families who have different preferences. Each indoor air handling system comes with a thermostat that you can alter in accordance with the needs and preferences of your family. This degree of personalization means that everyone in your family can have their ideal living space.
Since these systems don’t have to heat and cool your entire house at once They’re also more energy efficient than conventional air conditioners and furnaces. This is because they don’t have to be as active to maintain an ideal temperature, and they conserve energy by not cooling or heating rooms that aren’t being utilized.
The absence of ducts can help reduce energy loss, which cuts down on your cooling and heating costs. If you opt for an energy-efficient model that utilizes green refrigerants, your ductless unit can be even more energy-efficient.
Ductless systems are more cost-effective and convenient than traditional HVAC systems. They are also quieter and simpler for installers to install. They can be hung on walls or ceilings and their compact design makes them less noticeable than ductwork. They can also be installed more easily in new construction or renovations than traditional systems. With their simple to use smart controls, you’ll be able to monitor your energy usage and alter your settings remotely via your smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are distinctive in their design and offer greater energy efficiency than forced air systems. These systems consist of an outdoor unit as well as one or more indoor air handlers. They are connected with flexible piping that transports electricity and coolant to create heat. The absence of ductwork prevents thermal leakage as well as other waste sources that are associated with duct systems, allowing for superior energy efficiency and cost savings. These systems are also eco sustainable since they don’t release harmful emissions or generate carbon dioxide.
You don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to attain the desired temperature of air. For example, you can cool the master bedroom down to an ideal temperature of 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms of the house, which saves energy and keeps the entire family happy.
It’s the same for heating your home. You can set your home office, basement or any other room with an air handler at a moderate temperature to ensure the comfort of a consistent and comfortable heat throughout your home. You don’t need to worry about wasting energy if you leave a room for a while, as you can simply switch on the heat in the room using your remote control.
A ductless system can be used to heat or cool small spaces or an extra room. It can also help you save money throughout the year. It can also replace 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 manage the use of multiple air conditioning units in the summer and space heaters during the winter. In addition, it offers a more streamlined look in your space and improves the indoor air quality. When you consider all the advantages of a ductless system it’s no wonder why they’re gaining popularity!
Easy Installation
Mini-splits with ductless technology are designed to cool and heat spaces that do not have ductwork or for areas where an addition or renovation is not covered by the cost of putting in ductwork. A ductless system is ideal for sunrooms, remodeled rooms and basements. It is also suitable for kiosks in offices and off-hours residential spaces. Each indoor unit in the single-zone or multi-zone solutions comes with its own thermostat. This lets you chill and heat the rooms in use at any time.
The installation of a air-conditioning and heating system that is ductless is much easier and less expensive than traditional HVAC systems since there isn’t any need for ductwork. A licensed technician will simply place the outdoor unit on an outdoor concrete pad outside of your home and connect it to the air handlers inside your home. The installers will connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit which houses the equipment, control wiring, and refrigerant lines. Depending on the size of your home, multiple indoor units may need to be set up to provide optimum comfort.
Ductless systems are green due to their high energy efficiency. They don’t contribute to the waste produced by the average household and they reduce the carbon footprint considerably.
Ductless systems have some of the highest SEER ratings in the industry and allow homeowners to enjoy substantial savings on their heating and cooling costs. Comparing to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s best performing ductless systems can give up to 50 percent savings on monthly energy bills.
To ensure it is operating optimally, a ductless unit requires minimal maintenance. It is typical to clean your air filters once every week, and we recommend regular professional maintenance. This will ensure that your ductless system is operating effectively and efficiently for long time to come. In fact a ductless system could last for as long as 25 years if it is maintained with regular maintenance and care. Our technicians are ready to answer any questions that you may have about ductless heating and air conditioning.
Maintenance
Ductless systems provide a variety of benefits to maintenance that traditional HVAC equipment cannot match. This includes energy efficiency, which can lead to lower operating costs as well as environmental impact. The absence of ductwork ensures that indoor air quality remains high. The ductwork of a home’s traditional HVAC system could be contaminated by dirt, grime bacteria, pet dander, rodent droppings, and more. The inconspicuous units of ductless systems are easy to clean and maintain.
Additionally, the ductless heating and cooling systems are less expensive to install than traditional HVAC systems. This is because ductwork installation is labor intensive and expensive, especially for older homes that have uninsulated walls and ceilings. This expense can be cut by the non-invasive nature of the installation of ductless HVAC. It involves the installation of both indoor and outdoor units.
When comparing ductless HVAC systems to windows-style HVAC systems, they are quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the systems and how efficient they are. They also require significantly less maintenance, requiring only the occasional need to replace an air filter or conduct a yearly inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also a great option for retrofits or new construction. They can replace less efficient air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can be used in mobile homes or apartments, as well as condos in which ductwork is not feasible.
If you’re in the market for a heating and cooling solution that is able to handle the northern climate, you should consider switching to a ductless system. A professional can analyze the requirements of your home, help you select the best ductless system for your home, and ensure that it’s installed properly. Contact us today to begin.
