Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is the ideal option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will help you choose the appropriate size system for your home and will handle all maintenance and installation.
Ductless systems are also installed in older homes or new additions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy efficient and energy efficient.
No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioning is a great option for homes that don’t have existing ductwork or rooms that are difficult to service by traditional ducting. In contrast to central AC systems that rely on a single 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 along walls or on the ceiling, offering versatility for both aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system is not only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by heating and cooling rooms that are actually being used. This is a great method to reduce waste while maintaining the ideal temperature in your home for all of its occupants.
These systems are also very easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by simply cleaning the filters and running an occasional defroster. In addition regular maintenance by a trained technician will ensure that the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as is feasible.
Many people utilize ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They can be used to create an extra room or convert a garage or basement to living space, or to increase the temperature of a room that is usually too hot or cold.
Another advantage of the ductless system is that they are much more cost-effective than modern, 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 that cools and heats the home.
It is important to choose an experienced HVAC company when considering whether the ductless system is suitable for you. The expert technicians at Garden City HVAC can answer any questions you have and help you find the perfect system that meets your needs. Contact them today to get started!
Energy Efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is an important reason to consider them. These ENERGY START-certified systems are designed to cut down on the energy use and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your home which are not being used. These systems are ideal for homes that have a new garage or addition, or rooms that are hard to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems utilize alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it to direct current which is delivered to the individual air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves operate with a fraction of the power needed to cool the entire home using ductwork since they don’t require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This lets the system attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated air ductless unit.
It takes only 3 inches to connect the lines from an outdoor unit up to each indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.
Each air handler operates independently and can therefore cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living room at a higher temperature. This will help save energy because it won’t be cooled. Each air handler has its own thermostat programmable that allows you to fine-tune the temperature based on the preferences of each family member.
As the economy continues to recover Many people are contemplating adding a home gym, bedroom, or other home improvement. If you decide to do this, your current heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an extra part of your home without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be installed in these spaces to provide you with a separate temperature control, and aid in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This can lower your energy bills as well as your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are fairly simple to install, particularly when you are working with a professional HVAC company. These units are often placed on top of an exterior wall, and the installer only needs to cut a tiny hole in the wall and feed the piping into. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps to secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.
The cooling power of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, which means it can easily cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. It is possible to require more than one ductless system in order to cool a large house with multiple floors.
Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat so the users can select the temperature they would like to have in their own room. This is a great method to create a true cooling zone in your home or office.
Being able to control each zone in your house is especially useful when you live with many people who all like different temperatures. You can save money using the ductless system by cooling only rooms that are occupied.
Contact us today if are interested in upgrading to a ductless AC system or adding air-conditioning for your gym or garage. We will help you select the best ductless AC system for your needs and will take care of all maintenance and installation.
To maximize the efficiency of your ductless system, you’ll need to carry out regular maintenance. This includes changing the air filter and cleaning and checking the condenser and evaporator coils. Our technicians can design an annual maintenance schedule that is appropriate for your ductless unit and the area it serves. You can also find out more about how to maintain your ductless system by studying our ductless maintenance guide.
Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are generally less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of loss of energy due to leaky ductwork, which could drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can further minimize your energy use by choosing 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 zones of comfort. Using a remote control, you can adjust the temperature for each room of your house. You can maintain your living room and bedroom at different temperatures, without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature can be particularly useful if you have children or pets who spend a lot of their time in a single room.
A ductless system functions similar to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler, is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, then it’s removed outside through small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be placed in a variety of locations, including garages, attics or home addition.
Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units, or in combination to provide cooling for the entire house. They are great to retrofit an existing house or adding air conditioning, as well as for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or money to install air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings such as in an attic that has been converted or a garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small house, and it connects just one indoor air handler to an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This lets you individually control the temperature of each room, which is especially useful for large homes.
