Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate comfort in your home is made possible by ductless cooling and heating. These systems provide individualized comfort zones and cost savings.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit as well as indoor air handlers that heat and cool the rooms of your home. They replace baseboard heating systems windows, window air conditioning and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems offer homeowners more control over heating and cooling. They don’t require ductwork and can be installed within areas such as sunrooms or garages. Mini-splits are also efficient in terms of energy consumption, and could save you lots of money on your utility bills.
They utilize an outdoor unit of a smaller size to generate heat by drawing it from the air outside, then transfer the heat inside to keep you warm during winter. In the summer, they serve as air conditioners and remove heat from the air in your home. Ductless systems are quieter than conventional systems and the air handling units come with filters to improve your home’s air quality.
You can adjust your temperature settings for each room with ductless heating and cooling which is ideal for families with different preferences. Each indoor air handling system comes with its own thermostat that you can alter according to the requirements and preferences of your family. This degree of personalization means that everyone in your family can enjoy their ideal living space.
These systems are more energy-efficient than traditional furnaces and air conditioners since they don’t have to cool or heat your entire house in one go. This is due to the fact that they don’t need to exert as much effort to maintain a consistent temperature, and also avoid wasting energy by not heating or cooling rooms that aren’t in use.
The absence of ducts decreases energy loss and can lower your costs for cooling and heating. And if you choose an energy-efficient model that utilizes eco-friendly refrigerants, your ductless model will be even more energy efficient.
In addition to their efficiency and cost, ductless systems are quieter and easier to install than conventional HVAC systems. They can be hung on ceilings or walls, and their compact design makes them less visible than ductwork. They can also be erected 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 consumption and alter your settings remotely using your smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems stand out in their design and offer greater energy efficiency than forced air systems. These systems comprise an outdoor unit along with one or more indoor air handlers all connected with flexible piping that carries refrigerant and electricity to produce heat transfer. The absence of ductwork reduces the amount of waste and thermal leakage that is associated with duct systems. This translates into more energy efficiency and lower costs. These systems are also environmentally friendly because they don’t emit harmful emissions or produce carbon dioxide.
You don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve your desired temperature. You can cool your master bedroom down to 65 degrees, without overcooling other rooms. This helps save energy and makes the entire family happy.
The same goes for heating your home. You can set your basement, home office or any other room with an air handler set at an appropriate temperature to ensure a comfortable and consistent heat throughout your home. Also, you don’t have to worry about wasting energy if you leave an area for a short time because you can switch on the heating in the area with your remote control.
A ductless system can be used to heat or cool small apartments or an additional room. It will also help you save money throughout the year. It can replace a portable AC unit and reduce your energy costs by providing cooling and heating.
A ductless system is a great replacement for space heaters. This will spare you from having multiple air conditioners during summer, and space heaters in winter. Plus, it provides an easier-to-clean look to your space and improves the indoor air quality. With all the benefits of a ductless air system, it’s no wonder why they’re becoming increasingly popular!
Easy Installation
Mini-split systems with ductless are designed to heat and cool areas that do not have ductwork, or for locations where the construction or renovation is not covered by the expense of installing ductwork. A ductless system works well in remodeled rooms in older homes as well as sunrooms, home additions and even a renovated basement. It is also suitable for office kiosks and residential spaces that aren’t open for business. With a multi-zone or single-zone solution, each indoor unit has its own thermostat, which allows it to heat and cool only the rooms being utilized at any given moment.
The installation of a ductless HVAC system is easier and cheaper than traditional systems because there is no requirement for ductwork. A licensed technician will place the outdoor unit on the concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers within your home. Installers will run a conduit to connect the indoor units with the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the equipment, control wires, and refrigerant. Depending on the size of your home there may be multiple indoor units that be required to be set up to ensure optimal comfort.
Due to their energy efficiency, ductless systems are very green. They don’t add to the amount of waste generated by a typical household and they reduce the carbon footprint by a significant amount.
Ductless systems have some of the highest SEER ratings in the market and allow homeowners to save a significant amount on their cooling and heating costs. The most effective ductless systems are able to save up to 50% on energy costs as compared to split system SEER ratings between 14-17.
To keep it running optimally, a ductless system requires minimal maintenance. Typically, you’ll have to clean the air filters at least once per month, and we suggest scheduling regular professional service. This will ensure that your ductless system continues to operate efficiently and effectively for many years to be. In reality the ductless system can last up to 25 years 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 can provide a range of benefits for maintenance that traditional HVAC equipment cannot beat. This includes energy efficiency, which leads to lower operating costs and environmental impact. The absence of ductwork ensures that indoor air quality remains high. The ductwork of a traditional HVAC system is susceptible to contamination by grime, dirt and bacteria. It can also be affected by pet dander or rodent droppings. Contrary to this, ductless systems’ inconspicuous units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned with a simple wipe of a cloth.
In addition to that, HVAC systems that are ductless are less expensive to install than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to the fact that ductwork installation is labor intensive and expensive, particularly for older homes with uninsulated walls and ceilings. The non-invasive nature of the installation process that requires the installation of outdoor and indoor units, reduces the cost and can be completed in one day.
As compared to window-style air conditioners, the ductless HVAC systems are quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the systems as well as the fact that they are more efficient they are. They require less maintenance with just the need for a couple of air filters to be changed and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pump are also an ideal for retrofits or new construction. They can replace less-efficient space heaters, window air conditioners, and radiant heating systems. They can even be used in condominiums, apartments, and mobile homes, where ductwork isn’t feasible.
