Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and air conditioning gives homeowners a way to achieve the highest level of comfort for their home. These systems provide individualized comfort zones as well as cost savings, and much more.
Ductless systems are made up of an outdoor unit, and indoor air handlers which are used to cool or heat specific rooms within your home. They replace baseboard electric heating systems as well as window air conditioners and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are ideal for homeowners who need greater control over their cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork in order to operate and can be used in places such as garages, sunrooms, and basements that wouldn’t be feasible with a conventional system. Mini-split systems are extremely energy efficient and can reduce your utility bills.
In winter, they use small units outside to generate heat, and then transfer it inside. In summer, they serve as air conditioners and remove heat from the air in your home. Ductless systems are quieter than traditional systems, and the indoor air-handling units have built-in filters to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
With ductless heating, you can control the temperature of each room independently. This is great for families that have different preferences. Each indoor air-handling system has its own thermostat that you can alter in accordance with the needs and lifestyle of your family. This level of personalization means that everyone in your family can have their ideal living space.
Since these systems don’t have to heat and cool your entire home at once They’re also more energy efficient than traditional air conditioners and furnaces. This is because they don’t have to exert as much effort to maintain a consistent temperature, and they can avoid wasting energy by not cooling or heating rooms that aren’t being utilized.
The absence of ducts reduces energy consumption and reduces heating and cooling bills. If you select a high-efficiency model that makes use of environmentally friendly refrigerants, your ductless model will be even more energy efficient.
In addition to their efficiency and cost, ductless systems are more quiet and less difficult to install than traditional HVAC systems. They can be hung on walls or ceilings and their compact design makes them less visible than ductwork. They can also be put in more easily in new construction or renovations than conventional systems. With their easy-to-use, smart controls, you can track your energy usage and change your settings remotely using a smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems have a unique design that provides more energy efficiency than forced-air systems. These systems comprise an outdoor unit along with one or more indoor air handlers all connected with flexible piping that is able to carry electricity and refrigerant to create heat transfer. The absence of ductwork decreases the amount of waste and thermal leakage that is associated with duct systems. This results in more energy efficiency and lower costs. Furthermore because these systems don’t use combustible fuel to operate they don’t generate harmful emissions or carbon dioxide and are therefore an environmentally friendly option for your business or home.
You don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve your desired temperature of air. For instance, you could cool the master bedroom to an ideal temperature of 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms in the house. This saves energy and keeps the whole family content.
It’s the same for heating your house. You can set the basement or home office or any other room with an air handler to a moderate temperature for comfort and a consistent temperature throughout your home. You don’t have to worry about wasting energy when you leave a room for a short period of time, because you can switch on the heat using your remote.
If you’re cooling an additional room or heating a smaller apartment, a ductless system is a great way to cool and heat your home and save cash all year long. It can also replace the need for a portable air conditioner, and reduce your energy bills by providing both heating and cooling for your space.
A ductless system is a great replacement for space heaters. This will save you from having multiple air conditioners during summer and space heaters during the winter. In addition, it offers an improved look in your space and improves the indoor air quality. It’s not a surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly popular.
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems were designed to heat and cool spaces that do not have ductwork, or in situations in which the cost of installing ductwork isn’t included in a renovation or addition. Ductless systems work well in rooms that have been renovated in older homes and sunrooms, home additions and a remodeled basement. It is also suitable for kiosks in offices and residential spaces that are not open during the day. Each indoor unit in a multi-zone or single-zone solution comes with its own thermostat. This lets you cool and heat the rooms in use at any time.
The installation of a ductless HVAC system is easier and more affordable than traditional systems, as there is no requirement for ductwork. A licensed technician will place the outdoor unit on an outdoor concrete pad outside of your home and connect it to the air handlers in your home. The installers will connect a conduit from the indoor units to the outdoor unit, which houses the control wiring, the equipment and refrigerant lines. Based on the size of your home, you may need several indoor units to ensure the best comfort.
Because of their energy efficiency, ductless systems are very eco-friendly. They do not add to the amount of waste produced by a typical household, and they also significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the home.
Ductless systems boast some of the highest SEER rating available in the market. This allows homeowners to save money on heating and cooling costs. The most effective ductless systems are able to save up to 50% on energy costs compared to split system SEER ratings ranging from 14-17.
To keep it working optimally, a ductless system only requires minimal maintenance. It is typical to clean your air filters once every week, and we suggest regular professional service. This will ensure that your ductless system continues to operate efficiently and efficiently for years to come. In fact, a ductless system can last for up to 25 years with regular care and maintenance. Our technicians are available to answer any questions you may have regarding ductless heating and air conditioning.
Maintenance
Ductless systems offer a variety of maintenance benefits that are not offered by traditional HVAC equipment. This includes energy efficiency, which leads to lower operating costs as well as environmental impact. The absence of ductwork can help to ensure a high indoor air quality. The ductwork of a traditional HVAC system is susceptible to contamination by dirt, grime and bacteria. It is also affected by pet dander or rodent droppings. The inconspicuous units of ductless systems are easy to clean and maintain.
Additionally, the ductless heating and cooling systems are less costly to install than traditional HVACs. This is because ductwork installation is labor-intensive and can be expensive, especially for older homes with ceilings and walls that aren’t insulated. This expense can be cut through the non-invasive nature the installation of ductless HVAC. It involves mounting both indoor and outdoor units.
Compared to window-type air conditioners, HVAC systems that are ductless are quieter. The systems’ smaller physical dimensions contribute to this, as does their extremely efficient operation. They require less maintenance, with only the need for a couple of air filters to be replaced and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pump systems are also a good option for retrofits or new construction. They can be used to replace less efficient space heaters, air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can be installed in condominiums, apartments, and mobile homes, where ductwork may not be practical.
If you’re in the market for a heating and cooling solution that can handle our harsh northern climate, you should consider upgrading to a ductless model. A professional can assess the requirements of your house and assist you in selecting the best ductless system for your home, and ensure it’s installed properly. Contact us to start.
