Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is a great option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you choose the ideal size for your home and will take care of all of the installation and maintenance tasks.
Ductless systems can also be used in older homes or new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is effective and energy efficient.
No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioning is an excellent solution for homes that do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that would be difficult to serve with conventional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems that rely on an attic unit and ducts to distribute air throughout the home, uses separate indoor units that are connected to a condenser outside. These units can be mounted on the ceiling or wall and offer a range of aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system is not just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can help you reduce your energy consumption by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to cut down on waste and keep your home at a comfortable temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are very easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters regularly. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system functions as efficiently and smoothly as possible for as long as it can.
Many people choose to utilize ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are a great way to add an extra room or convert a garage or basement to living space, or increase the temperature of a room which is usually too hot or cold.
Another advantage of a ductless system is that they are more affordable than the latest high-efficiency, ductless systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year by obtaining the energy STAR certification. These systems are even more efficient when combined with a heating system which cools and heats the house.

Energy Efficient
One of the main advantages of ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re much more energy efficient. These ENERGY START-certified systems are designed to decrease your energy usage and save you money. They accomplish this by actively cooling areas of your house that are occupied. This is why they are ideal for homes that have a new garage or addition, or that have rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with 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 smaller amount of power to cool the entire home that has ductwork as they don’t require as much energy to move and control temperatures. This allows the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t come with a system that is ductless.
In addition, it requires 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 less than the 12 inches of ducting used by a typical HVAC system.
Each air handler functions independently and can therefore cool your bedrooms while keeping the living space at a higher temperature. This will help save energy since it’s not chilled. Each air handler comes with its own programmable thermostat that you can use to fine-tune the temperature based on the preferences of each family member.
As the economy continues to recover Many people are considering the possibility of adding a gym to their home or bedroom home improvement. If you decide to add an exercise room, bedroom or other home improvement the heating and air conditioning system could be overwhelmed trying to control the temperature in an area of your home without ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to control the temperature independently and stop your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will aid in reducing your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively easy, especially if you are working with an HVAC company that is professional. They are typically installed on the outside of a wall. The installer needs to drill a small opening into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system then gets attached to the house by using clamps that secure the piping and affixed to the wall.
The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can cool rooms up to 400 square feet or more. If you live in a home with multiple stories you might need to install more than one ductless unit in order to cool the entire house.
Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, so that residents can set the temperature they would like to have in their own room. This is a great method to achieve cooling zones in your home or business.
Having the ability to control every zone within your home is beneficial when you live with many people who all like different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system, you can cool only the spaces that are occupied and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are generally more affordable to run than traditional AC systems. They also prevent any loss of energy due to leaks in air ducts. This can decrease the efficiency of your system. This will help keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can reduce your energy consumption by choosing an appliance that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with higher SEER ratings will be more efficient, which means it will require less energy to cool your home.
Another way in which a ductless system can save you money is by offering zoned comfort. By using a remote control you can set different temperature settings for each room in your home. You can maintain your bedroom and living room at different temperatures without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly useful for families with pets who spend most of their time in one room.
The ductless system is the same as a heat-pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler blows air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, and then it’s removed outside through tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in a variety of places such as an attic, garage, or home addition.
Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence, as well as 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 in an attic that has been converted or a garage.
A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small house and connects one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using the use of a single condenser. This allows you to independently regulate the temperature of each room, which is especially useful for large homes.
