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 will assist you in selecting the appropriate size system for your home and will manage all installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are great for the addition of new rooms to your home or older ones which do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and efficient.
No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioning is an excellent solution for homes that either do not have ductwork in place or rooms that are difficult to service by traditional ducting. In contrast to central AC systems that rely on a single unit in the attic and ducts to move air throughout the home, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units connected to an outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on the wall or ceiling and offer versatility in terms of aesthetics and functionality.
In addition to being simpler to install, a ductless system is more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in saving energy by heating and cooling the rooms that are actually being used. This is a great way to cut down on waste and keep your home at a comfortable temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters on a regular basis. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system operates as smoothly and efficiently as it can for the duration of time it can.
Many people prefer to use ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They are ideal to add an extra room to a home, for converting a garage or basement into a living space and also for boosting the temperature of a room that is usually too hot or cold.
A ductless system has the advantage of being more affordable than the newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems can save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are more efficient when combined with a heat pump which cools and heats the home.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is a major reason to choose them. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to cut down on your energy consumption and save you money. They do this by actively cooling areas of your house that are used. These systems are perfect for homes that have a new garage or addition, or rooms that are hard to heat and cool using ductwork.
Ductless systems utilize alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it to direct current, which is then directed through the air handlers inside your home. The air handlers consume only a small amount of power to cool the entire home with ductwork, because they do not have to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated system that is ductless.
In addition, it requires 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 a lot smaller than the 12 inches of ducting used by the typical HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home functions independently of the others and this means that you can cool the bedrooms, while leaving the living space at a warmer temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler also has its own programmable thermostat which allows you to fine-tune the temperature to suit the preferences of each family member.
As the economy continues to recover many people are thinking about building a gym in their home, bedroom, or other home improvement. When you do this, your existing heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an additional space of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will allow you to control the temperature independently and stop your home from becoming over-cooled or overheated. This will lower 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. They are typically mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer only needs to drill a small hole in the drywall for the piping. The ductless system then gets connected to the house using clamps that secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.
The cooling capacity of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can easily cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. If you live in a home with multiple stories, you may need to add more than one ductless unit in order to cool your entire home.
Certain ductless systems include multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit has its own thermostat so the residents can set the temperature they would like to have in their individual room. This is an excellent way to create cooling zones in your home or business.
It is extremely beneficial to to control the temperature in each zone of your house, especially when you have several family members who prefer different temperatures. With an air conditioning system that is ductless you can only cool the areas that are used and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t being used.

Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are usually more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of energy loss 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. You can further reduce your energy usage by selecting a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system that has an increased SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
A ductless system can also save you money by offering comfort in zones. Using a remote control, you can adjust the temperature for each room of your house. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature can be particularly useful for families with children or pets who spend much of their time in one room.
The ductless unit is similar to a heat pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air over evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and then it is ejected outside via tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety locations, including an attic, home addition, or garage.
Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units or combined to cool the entire house. They are great to retrofit an existing house or adding air conditioning, and also for renovations or new construction where there’s no room or budget to install 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 usually enough to cool homes with small spaces and connects 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 lets you control the temperatures of each room independently, which is especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
