Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate comfort in your home is achieved with ductless heating and cooling. These systems can be customized to provide comfort zones with cost savings and more.
Ductless systems are made up 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 as well as window air conditioning systems and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are great for homeowners who require greater control over their cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork to operate, and they can be installed in places like sunrooms, garages and basements that would not be feasible with traditional systems. These mini-splits are also very energy efficient and can save you lots of money on your electricity bills.
In winter, they utilize an outdoor unit to generate heat and transfer it indoors. In summer, they act as air conditioners and remove heat from the air in your home. Ductless systems run more quiet than conventional systems. The air-handling unit for indoor use also includes built-in filters that improve the quality of the air in your home.
You can customize your temperature settings on a room-by-room basis 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 adjust in accordance with the needs and lifestyle of your family. This degree of personalization means that every member of your family can have their ideal living space.
Since these systems don’t have to heat and cool your entire home at the same time They’re also more efficient than conventional furnaces and air conditioners. They are energy efficient because they don’t have to work as hard in order to maintain an ideal temperature.
The absence of ducts helps reduce energy consumption, which in turn reduces your heating and cooling costs. And if you choose a high-efficiency model that uses eco-friendly refrigerants, your ductless model will be even more energy efficient.
In addition to their efficiency and cost, ductless systems are quieter and less difficult to install than conventional HVAC systems. They can be installed on walls or ceilings and their compact design makes it less noticeable than ductwork. They’re also more easily installed in new construction or renovations than conventional systems could be. With their easy-to use smart controls you’ll be able monitor your energy usage and alter your settings remotely using a smartphone or a computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems stand out in their design and can provide more energy efficiency than forced air systems. They include an outdoor unit along with one or more indoor air handlers all connected via flexible piping that transports refrigerant and electricity to produce heat transfer. The absence of ductwork decreases the amount of waste and thermal leakage that is associated with duct systems. This allows for more energy efficiency and lower costs. These systems are also environmentally friendly because they don’t emit harmful emissions or produce carbon dioxide.
A ductless system can provide the comfort you need in a zone to meet your needs to the fullest extent and needs, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency to achieve the air temperature you want. For example, you can cool the master bedroom to a comfortable 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms of the house, which saves energy and keeps the entire family content.
The same is true for heating your home. You can set your home office, basement or any other room with an air handler set at an appropriate temperature to ensure an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. You don’t need to worry about wasting electricity when you leave a space for a short period of time, since you can turn on the heat using your remote.
If you’re cooling an extra room or heating a smaller apartment, the ductless system is the ideal solution to cool and heat your home and save money throughout the year. It can also replace a portable air conditioner and reduce your energy bills by providing cooling and heating for your space.
A ductless system is an excellent alternative to space heaters. This will spare you from having to use multiple air conditioners in the summer and space heaters in the winter. Additionally, it gives a more streamlined look in your space and improves indoor air quality. It’s not a surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly well-known.
Easy Installation
Ductless mini-split systems are designed to cool and heat areas that don’t have ductwork or for areas where the construction or renovation is not covered by the cost of putting in ductwork. A ductless system is great for remodeled rooms, sunrooms and basements. It is also ideal for kiosks in offices and off-hours residential spaces. Each indoor unit of a single-zone or multi-zone system comes with its own thermostat. This lets you chill and heat the rooms you use at any time.
The installation of a HVAC system that is ductless is much simpler and less costly than traditional HVAC systems since there is no need for ductwork. A certified technician will install the outdoor unit outside of your home on a concrete pad and connect it to your air handlers. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the wiring, control wires, and refrigerant. Depending on your home’s size you may require several indoor units to ensure maximum comfort.
Due to their energy efficiency, ductless systems are very environmentally friendly. They don’t add to the amount of waste generated by a typical household, and they significantly reduce the carbon footprint of a home.
Ductless systems have some of the highest SEER ratings available in the marketplace, allowing homeowners to make substantial savings on their heating and cooling costs. In comparison to traditional split systems with SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s top performing ductless systems can give up to 50 percent savings on energy bills each month.
To ensure it is operating optimally, a ductless system requires minimal maintenance. You’ll typically need to clean your air filters once every week, and we recommend regular professional maintenance. This will ensure that your ductless system functions effectively and efficiently for the years to come. A ductless system can last up to 25+ years with proper care and maintenance. Our technicians are ready to answer any questions that you might have about ductless heating and air conditioning.
Maintenance
Ductless systems provide a number advantages in maintenance that aren’t offered by traditional HVAC equipment. This includes energy efficiency, which contributes to lower operating costs and environmental impact. The absence of ductwork can help to maintain a high indoor air quality. The ductwork that is typical to an HVAC system is vulnerable to contamination by grime, dirt and bacterial. It is also affected by pet dander or rodent droppings. The ductless units, which are not visible, systems are easy to clean and maintain.
The installation of HVAC systems that are ductless is less expensive than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to ductwork being labor-intensive, and installation could be expensive, especially in older homes that have uninsulated ceilings and walls. The noninvasive nature of a ductless HVAC system’s installation process that requires the installation of indoor and outdoor units, reduces the cost and can be completed in just one day.
As compared to window-style air conditioners, ductless HVAC systems are much quieter. The system’s smaller size contributes to this, along with their extremely efficient operation. They require less maintenance as well and require only one or two air filters that need to be replaced and a once-a-year inspection.
Ductless heat pump systems are also a great option for retrofits or new construction. They can be used to replace less efficient air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can be used in mobile homes condominiums, apartments, and homes in which ductwork is not feasible.
