Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is the best option for cooling homes that don’t 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 utilized in older homes as well as new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and efficient.
No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioning is an excellent solution for homes that do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that would be difficult to service with traditional ducting. In contrast to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in the attic and ducts to move air throughout the house, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units connected to a single outdoor condenser. These units can be mounted on the ceiling or wall and offer versatility in terms of aesthetics and functional.
In addition to being easier to install and maintain, a ductless system is an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can save you money by cooling and heating the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to cut down on waste and maintain your home at the ideal temperature for everyone in the.
They are also easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be cleaned by washing the filters and running a defroster periodically. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system is operating as efficiently and smoothly as possible for the duration of time it can.
Many people use ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They can be used to create an extra room, convert a garage or basement into living space or boost the temperature of a space that is usually too hot or cold.
A ductless system has the benefit of being a lot more economical than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems can save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are even more efficient when they are combined with a heat pump that cools and heats the house.
It’s important to work with an established HVAC company when deciding if a ductless system is right for you. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians will answer all your questions and help choose the right ductless system to suit your requirements. Contact them today to get started!
Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is one of the main reasons to choose them. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to reduce your energy usage and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your home that are occupied. This makes them ideal for homes that have a new addition or garage or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.
Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it to direct current which is fed through individual air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves operate on a fraction of the power needed to cool a whole home that has ductwork as they don’t have to work as hard to move and regulate temperatures. This allows the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t come with a system that is ductless.
Additionally, it only takes about 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is much smaller than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by the typical HVAC system.
Each air handler is independent, so you can cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living space at the same temperature. This will help save energy since it’s not chilled. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, which means you can tailor it to suit the preferences of each member of your family.
Many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to grow. When you do this, your current heating and cooling system may be overworked by trying to control temperatures in an additional space of your home that is not served by ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be installed in these spaces to give you independent temperature control and aid in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This will lower your energy costs and your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, particularly when you are working with an experienced HVAC company. These units are usually mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer needs to drill a small opening in the drywall for the pipe. The ductless system will be joined to the home with clamps to secure the pipe.
A single ductless unit can cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. If you have a large home with multiple stories, you may need to add more than one ductless unit in order to cool your entire home.
Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, allowing the inhabitants of each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is an excellent way to create cooling zones within your business or home.
Having the ability to control every zone in your house is especially beneficial when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system it is possible to cool only the spaces that are occupied and save money by not cooling empty rooms.
Contact us today if are interested in upgrading to a ductless AC system or adding air-conditioning for your gym or garage. We’ll help you choose the most suitable ductless AC system for your needs and handle all installation and maintenance.
To get the most from your ductless system, you’ll need to conduct regular maintenance. This includes changing the air filter, as well as cleaning and the condenser and the evaporator coils. Our technicians can help you create a schedule of maintenance that is appropriate for your ductless unit and the region it serves. Our ductless maintenance manual will teach you more about how to maintain your system.
Save Money
Ductless AC systems are usually more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce any energy loss that could be caused by leaky air ducts. This could reduce the effectiveness of your system. This can help keep your energy costs lower throughout the year long. You can cut down on energy usage by selecting a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has an increased SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
Another way in which ductless systems can save you money is by offering zoned comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This allows you to keep the living room and bedrooms at different temperatures without affecting other rooms of your house. This feature can be especially useful for families with pets or children who spend the majority of their time in a single room.
A ductless system functions in the same way as a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) blows air through the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, is then released outside through tiny holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is mounted in many different places, including garages, attics, or home addition.
Mini-split ductless systems can be used as standalone units, or combined to provide cooling for the entire house. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence or renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings like an attic that has been converted or a garage.
A single-zone ductless unit is typically sufficient to cool small houses and connects 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 regulate the temperature of each space independently, which can be especially helpful for large homes.
