Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal option for cooling homes with no ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will assist you in selecting the appropriate size system for your home and will take care of the installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are also perfect for new additions to your home or older homes which do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and energy efficient.
No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioning is a great solution for homes that do not have ductwork installed or rooms that are difficult to service by traditional ducting. Contrary to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in an attic, and ducts to circulate air throughout the house the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units linked to an outdoor condenser. The units can be positioned along walls or on the ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetic and practical.
A ductless system isn’t only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can help you reduce your energy bills by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great way to reduce waste and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are also easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be easily cleaned by simply washing the filters and using the defroster regularly. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system functions as smoothly and efficiently as it can for as long as it is able to.
Many people utilize ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They can be used to create an additional room, convert a garage or basement into living space or boost the temperature of a space that is often too hot or cold.
A ductless system has the benefit of being more affordable than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year. These systems can be more efficient with the use of a heat pump that also cools and heats your home.

Energy Efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional heating and cooling systems is an important reason to go with them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to cut down on energy consumption and help you save money by proactively cooling the areas of your home that are occupied. This is why they are ideal for homes that have a new addition or garage or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems utilize alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it to direct current, which is then delivered to the individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers run on a less power than what is needed to cool the entire home with ductwork because they do not require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a ductless unit.
Furthermore, it takes around 3 inches on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is much less than the 12 inches of ducting used by the typical HVAC system.
Each air handler functions independently, so you can cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living space at an elevated temperature. This will help save energy since it’s not cooling. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, so you can adjust it to the preferences of the family members.
Many are thinking of adding a home gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to improve. If you add a gym at home, a bedroom, or any other accessory to your home your heating and cooling system may be overworked trying to control the temperature in an area of your home without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will allow you to control the temperature independently and stop your home from being overheated or cooled. This can lower your energy costs as well as your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are relatively easy to install, especially when you are working with a professional HVAC company. These units are usually mounted high on the wall of an exterior. The installer needs to drill a small opening in the wall to accommodate the pipes. The ductless system is connected to the house clamps that hold the piping before fixing it to the wall.
The cooling capacity of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, which means it can easily cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. If you have a large home with multiple stories you may need to add more than one ductless unit to cool the entire house.
Certain ductless systems include multiple indoor units 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 own room. This is an excellent way to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.
It is extremely beneficial to be able to regulate the temperature of each area of your home, particularly when you have several family members who have different preferences for temperature. With the ductless air conditioning system you can only cool the spaces that are occupied and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are generally more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential loss of energy caused by leaky ductwork, which could drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help to keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can cut down on energy usage by selecting the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will require less energy to cool your home.
A ductless system can also save you money by offering zones of comfort. With a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room in your house. This lets you keep bedrooms and living rooms at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms of your house. This feature can be particularly useful for families with pets or children who spend a lot of their time in one room.
A ductless system works in the same way as a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler, is able to blow air over evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, then it’s removed outside through a small hole in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is placed in a variety locations, including an attic, a home addition, or garage.
Ductless mini-split systems can work as a stand-alone unit or combined to provide whole-home cooling. They are great to retrofit an existing house or incorporating air conditioning and also for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or money to install air ducts. They’re an excellent option for homes that have low ceilings like garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless unit is typically enough to cool small homes and connects one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using the use of a single condenser. This lets you control the temperature of each room in a way that is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
