Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

The ductless system is a great option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will help you choose the best size system for your home and will handle the installation and maintenance.

Ductless systems are also perfect for the addition of new rooms to your home or older homes that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is effective and energy efficient.

No ductwork is required

Ductless air conditioners are a great alternative for homes that do not have ductwork, or for rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to access. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems, which rely on a unit in the attic and ducts to distribute air throughout the house, utilizes separate indoor units that are connected to a condenser outside. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and offer a range of aesthetics and functional.

A ductless system isn’t only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will help you save energy by heating and cooling rooms that are in use. This is a great way to reduce energy consumption and keep your home at a comfortable temperature for all occupants.

These systems are also easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by simply washing the filters and using the defroster regularly. In addition regular maintenance performed by a skilled technician will ensure that the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as is feasible.

Many people prefer to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are perfect for adding a second space to a home or for converting a garage or basement into living space and for boosting the temperature in a room that’s often too hot or too cold.

Another benefit of the ductless system is that they are much more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, ductless systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year by obtaining the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are also more efficient when paired with a heat-pump, which heats and cools the house.

It is important to choose an established HVAC firm when you’re considering whether a ductless system is right for you. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians will answer all your questions and help you choose the right system for your needs. Contact them today to get started!

Energy efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is an important reason to go with them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to decrease energy use and help you save money by cooling only the areas of your home that are used. These systems are ideal for homes that have an addition or new garage, or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves run using a small less power than what is needed to cool a home with ductwork because they do not have to work as hard to move and regulate temperatures. This allows for a greater SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that doesn’t have a ductless system.

Additionally, it only takes around 3 inches on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by HVAC systems.

Each air handler functions independently and can therefore cool your bedrooms and keep the living room at a higher temperature. This can save energy since it’s not cooling. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can fine-tune it to suit the preferences of each family member.

As the economy continues to grow Many people are considering building a gym in their home or bedroom addition to their house. If you decide to do this, your current heating and cooling system might be overwhelmed as you try to control temperatures in an additional area of your house without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will allow you to manage the temperature in a way that is independent and keep your home from being overheated or cooled. This can reduce your energy bills as well as your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively easy, especially if you have an experienced HVAC company. These units are usually mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer only needs to drill a tiny hole in the drywall for the pipes. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to secure the pipe.

The cooling power of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it can easily cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. If you own a huge home with multiple stories you may need to add more than one ductless unit to cool the entire house.

Certain ductless systems include multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat so that residents can set the temperature they want in their individual room. This is a great method to achieve true cooling zoning at your office or home.

It is extremely beneficial to be able to regulate the temperature of each area of your home, especially when you have several people living with you who prefer different temperatures. You can save money using a ductless system by cooling only rooms that are used.

If you’re interested in upgrading your current AC to a new ductless system or adding air conditioning for that garage apartment or gym contact us today. We’ll assist you in selecting the best ductless air conditioner for your needs and will take care of all maintenance and installation.

Our technicians can help create a maintenance schedule that’s appropriate for your ductless unit and the space it serves. The ductless maintenance manual will help you learn more about how to maintain your system.

Save Money

Ductless air conditioning systems are generally more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of loss of energy caused by leaky ductwork, which could drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help keep your energy costs at a lower level throughout the year long. You can cut down on energy consumption by choosing a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will use less energy to cool your home.

A ductless system will also save you money by offering zoned comfort. You can make use of a remote control in order 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 is especially useful when your pets or children spend the majority of their time in one room.

The ductless system is similar to a heat-pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air through the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant is able to absorb heat from the air and then released out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of places, including an attic, home addition or garage.

Mini-split ductless systems can be used as standalone units, or combined to cool the entire house. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house or new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings like garages or attics.

A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small home, and it connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with the use of a single condenser. This allows you to control the temperatures of each room in a way that is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
