Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and cooling gives homeowners the chance to have the ultimate comfort in their homes. These systems provide individualized comfort zones and cost savings.
Ductless systems comprise an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers to heat or cool individual rooms in your home. They replace baseboard electric heating systems window air conditioners, window air conditioners as well as space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems offer homeowners greater control over cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork in order to operate and can be used in places like sunrooms, garages and basements that wouldn’t be feasible with conventional systems. These mini-splits are also very energy efficient, and can save you a lot of money on your utility bills.
In winter, they employ a small unit outside to generate heat and then transfer it inside. In summer, they function as air conditioners and take the heat from your home’s air. Ductless systems run more quietly than traditional systems. The indoor air-handling unit has filters built-in to improve the quality of your home’s air.
With ductless heating, you can adjust the temperature in each room in a way that is individual. This is perfect for families with different tastes. Each indoor air handling system has its own thermostat that you can alter according to the needs and preferences of your family. This flexibility allows each member of your family to have their ideal living space.
Since these systems don’t have to heat and cool your entire home at once They’re much more efficient than conventional air conditioners and furnaces. This is due to the fact that they don’t need to exert as much effort to maintain a perfect temperature, and they avoid wasting energy by not cooling or heating rooms that aren’t in use.
The absence of ducts reduces energy loss and can lower your cooling and heating bills. If you select a high-efficiency model that uses environmentally friendly refrigerants, your ductless unit could be more efficient in energy use.
Ductless systems are less expensive and more convenient than conventional HVAC systems. They are also quieter and easier to install. They can be mounted on walls and ceilings, and their small size makes them less obtrusive than ductwork. They’re also more easy to install in new construction homes or renovations than a traditional system would be. With their simple to use smart controls you’ll be able monitor your energy consumption and adjust your settings remotely from either a smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems have a unique design that gives more energy efficiency than forced-air systems. These systems comprise an outdoor unit, as well as one or more indoor air handlers, all connected by flexible piping that transports refrigerant and electricity to produce heat transfer. The absence of ductwork reduces thermal leakage as well as other waste sources caused by duct systems allowing for superior energy efficiency and cost savings. These systems are also environmentally friendly because they don’t emit harmful emissions or create carbon dioxide.
A ductless system can provide zoned comfort to satisfy your individual needs, so you don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve the air temperature you want. You can cool your master bedroom down to 65 degrees while not overcooling the other rooms. This conserves energy and makes the entire family happy.
It’s the same for heating your home. You can set your home office, basement or any other room that has an air handler at a moderate temperature to ensure an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. There is no need to worry about using up electricity when you leave an area for a few minutes, because you can turn on the heat with your remote.
A ductless system can be used to heat or cool a small apartment or an additional room. It can also allow you to save money throughout the year. It can also replace a portable air conditioner and lower your energy bills by providing both cooling and heating for your space.
A ductless system is also a great replacement for space heaters. This will save you from having to use multiple air conditioners during summer and space heaters during the winter. Plus, it provides an easier-to-clean look to your space and improves indoor air quality. When you consider all the benefits of a ductless air system, it’s not surprising that they’re becoming so popular!
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems are made for heating and cooling spaces that do not have ductwork, or in locations where the cost of installing ductwork is not included in a new or renovated addition. A ductless system is ideal in remodeled rooms in older homes, home additions, sunrooms, and even a renovated basement. It’s also great for office kiosks or areas that are not in use. With a single-zone or multi-zone solution each indoor unit comes with its own thermostat, making it possible to cool and heat only the rooms being utilized at any time.
The installation of a air-conditioning and heating system that is ductless is much easier and less costly than a traditional HVAC system because there is no need for ductwork. A certified technician will mount the outdoor unit on a concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers in your home. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the equipment, control wires, and refrigerant. Based on the size of your home, multiple indoor units may require to be set up to ensure optimal comfort.
Ductless systems are green due to their energy efficiency. They don’t contribute to the waste produced by a typical household and they reduce the carbon footprint significantly.
Ductless systems come with some of the highest SEER ratings in the industry and allow homeowners to enjoy substantial savings on their cooling and heating costs. The most effective ductless systems are able to save up to 50% of energy bills as compared to split system SEER ratings ranging from 14-17.
A ductless system needs minimal maintenance to keep working at its best. Typically, you’ll need to clean your air filters once a month, and we recommend scheduling regular professional services. This will ensure that your ductless system operates efficiently and effectively for years to come. In reality, a ductless system can last for up to 25 years with routine care and maintenance. Our knowledgeable technicians are available to answer any questions you may have regarding ductless heating and cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems can provide a range of benefits to maintenance that traditional HVAC equipment can’t match. Energy efficiency is one of the advantages, since it reduces operating expenses and has a positive effect on the environment. The absence of ductwork allows to maintain high indoor air quality. The ductwork of a house’s traditional HVAC system can be contaminated by dirt grime, pet dander rodent droppings, more. In contrast, ductless systems’ inconspicuous units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned by a simple swipe of a cloth.
The installation of HVAC systems with ductless ducts is less expensive than traditional HVAC systems. It is because ductwork is labor-intensive, and installation could be costly, particularly in older homes with uninsulated ceilings and walls. This expense can be reduced by the non-invasive nature of the ductless HVAC installation procedure. It involves the installation of both indoor and outdoor units.
Comparing ductless HVAC with window-style systems, they are quieter. The smaller physical dimensions contribute to this, along with their incredibly efficient operation. They require less maintenance with just a few air filters to be changed and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also great for retrofits or new construction. They can be substituted for less efficient space heaters windows air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can even be used in apartments, condos and mobile homes where ductwork isn’t feasible.
