Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is a great option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians can assist you in choosing the best size system for your home and will handle all maintenance and installation.
Ductless systems can also be installed in older homes or new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and efficient.
No need for ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic solution for homes that don’t have existing ductwork or rooms that would be difficult to serve by traditional ducting. Unlike central AC systems that use one unit in an attic and ducts to move air throughout the house, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units connected to one 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 easier to install and maintain, a ductless system is more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can assist you in reducing your energy consumption by heating and cooling only the rooms that are used. This is a great way to reduce the amount of energy consumption 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 and compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters regularly. Additionally, regular maintenance by a skilled technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.
Many people utilize ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They can be used to create an extra space or convert a garage or basement into living space or to increase the temperature of a room that is often too cold or hot.
Another advantage of a ductless system is that they are more affordable than the latest high-efficiency, ductless systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems could save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems can be more efficient if you have a heat pump, which can both cool and heat your home.
It’s important to work with an experienced HVAC firm when you’re considering whether the ductless system is suitable for you. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians can answer all your questions and assist you to select the best ductless system to suit your needs. Contact them now to start!
Energy Efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is a major reason to choose them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to reduce energy usage and save you money by cooling only the areas of your home which are in use. These systems are ideal for homes with an addition or new garage or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool using ductwork.
Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it to direct current, which is then fed through individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers use a fraction of power to cool a home, as they do not have to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows for a greater SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that doesn’t include a ductless unit.
In addition, it requires about 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is a lot less than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by a standard HVAC system.
Each air handler functions independently and can therefore cool your bedrooms while keeping the living area at the same temperature. This will save energy because it won’t be cooling. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, so you can tailor it to the preferences of the family members.
As the economy continues to improve Many people are contemplating adding a home gym or bedroom home improvement. If you add a home gym, bedroom or other home improvement, your existing heating and air conditioning system could be overwhelmed trying to regulate the temperature in a different area of your home without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be put in these spaces to give you independent temperature control and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This will lower your energy bills and your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, particularly when you are working with an HVAC professional. They are usually installed high on an exterior wall, so the installer just has to cut a tiny hole in the drywall and feed the piping into. The ductless system then gets attached to the house by clamps that hold the piping, and then fixed to the wall.
The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it can cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. If you have a large house with multiple stories, you might need to install more than one ductless unit in order to cool the entire house.
Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit has its own thermostat, so that users can select the temperature they would like to have in their particular room. This is a great way to create a true cooling zone within your office or home.
Having the ability to control each zone in your home is beneficial when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. You can save money using the ductless system by cooling only those rooms that are used.
Contact us today if you are interested in upgrading to a ductless AC system or adding air-conditioning for your garage apartment or gym. We will help you select the most suitable ductless AC system for your needs and handle all maintenance and installation.
Getting the most out of your ductless system requires proper maintenance, which includes regular air filter replacements, as well as periodic cleaning and inspection of the evaporator coils and condenser unit. Our technicians can help you create a maintenance schedule that’s appropriate for your ductless unit and the space it serves. You can also find out more about maintaining your ductless system by studying our ductless maintenance guide.
Save Money
Ductless AC systems are usually more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential loss of energy caused by leaky ductwork, which could significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This can help keep your energy costs lower all throughout the year. You can also reduce your energy consumption by selecting a ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system that has an increase in SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.
Another way that ductless systems can help you save money is through providing zoned comfort. By using a remote control you can choose different temperature settings for each room in your house. You can maintain your bedroom and living room at different temperatures without affecting the other rooms in your home. This feature is especially useful when your pets or children spend the majority of their time in a single room.
The ductless system functions similar to a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler, blows air on evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, then it’s removed outside through tiny holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of locations, such as in an attic, home addition, or garage.
Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as standalone units or be used in conjunction to provide all-home cooling. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence and also for new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re an excellent option for homes that have low ceilings such as garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless unit is typically enough to cool homes with small spaces and connects one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This lets you independently regulate the temperature in each room, which is particularly suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
