Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate comfort in your home is possible with ductless cooling and heating. These systems can be customized to provide comfort zones with cost savings and more.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers that heat or cool specific rooms in your home. They replace baseboard electric heating systems, window air conditioners and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems offer homeowners more control over heating and cooling. 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 traditional systems. Mini-splits can also be efficient in terms of energy consumption, and could help you save a lot of money on your utility bills.
In winter, they use an outdoor unit to generate heat, and then transfer it inside. In summer, they are able to become air conditioners, removing heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems are more quiet than traditional ones, and the indoor air-handling units include built-in filters to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
With ductless heating, you can adjust the temperature of each room in a way that is individual. This is ideal for families with different preferences. Each indoor air-handling system has its own thermostat that you can alter according to the requirements and preferences of your family. This level of personalization means that everyone in your family can enjoy their ideal living space.
Because these systems aren’t obligated to heat and cool your entire house at once, they’re 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 consistent temperature, and they save energy by not cooling or heating rooms that aren’t being used.
The absence of ducts can help reduce energy losses, which further reduces the cost of cooling and heating. If you opt for a high-efficiency model that uses eco-friendly refrigerants, your ductless model will be even more energy efficient.
Ductless systems are less expensive and convenient than conventional HVAC systems. They are also more quiet and simpler for installers to install. They can be mounted on ceilings or walls 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 simple-to-use smart controls, you can track your energy consumption and alter your settings remotely from your smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are unique in their design and offer higher energy efficiency than forced air systems. These systems comprise an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers all connected via flexible piping that is able to carry refrigerant and electricity to produce heat transfer. The absence of ductwork prevents thermal leakage and other waste sources that are associated with 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.
You don’t need to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve the desired air temperature. You can cool your master bedroom down to 65 degrees, without overcooling other rooms. This conserves energy and makes everyone in the family content.
The same is true for heating your home. You can set your basement, home office or any other space with an air handler at a moderate temperature to ensure an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. You don’t need to worry about wasting electricity when you leave a space for a few minutes because you can turn on the heating using your remote.
If you’re cooling an additional room or heating a smaller apartment, the ductless system is an ideal way to cool and heat your space while saving money throughout the year. It can replace an AC unit that is portable and cut down on energy costs by providing cooling and heating.
A ductless system can also be an excellent alternative to space heaters. It will free you from having to use multiple air conditioners in summer and space heaters during the winter. In addition, it offers a more streamlined look in your home and improves the indoor air quality. It’s no surprise that ductless systems are becoming more well-known.
Easy Installation
Ductless mini-split systems are designed to heat and cool spaces that do not have ductwork, or for locations where an addition or renovation does not include the expense of installing ductwork. A ductless system is ideal in remodeled rooms in older homes, home additions, sunrooms, and even a renovated basement. It’s also great for kiosks at offices or in residential spaces that are not being used. With a multi-zone or single-zone solution each indoor unit comes with its own thermostat, making it possible to heat and cool only the rooms being utilized at any given moment.
Installing a air ductless HVAC system is much simpler and more affordable than a traditional one since there is no requirement for ductwork. A licensed technician will mount the outdoor unit outside of your home on an asphalt pad and connect it to your air handlers. The installers will connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit which houses the control wiring, the equipment and refrigerant lines. Based on the size of your house you may require several indoor units to ensure the best comfort.
Due to their energy efficiency Due to their energy efficiency, ductless systems are green. They do not increase the amount of waste produced by a typical household, and they can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of a home.
Ductless systems come with some of the highest SEER ratings in the industry and allow homeowners to save a significant amount on their heating and cooling costs. Comparing to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s top performing ductless systems can give up to 50 percent savings on monthly energy bills.
To keep it working at its peak, a ductless unit requires minimal maintenance. It is typical to clean your air filters once a week, and we suggest regular professional maintenance. This will ensure that your ductless system is operating efficiently and effectively for many long time to come. In reality the ductless system can last for up to 25 years with routine maintenance and care. Our technicians are available to answer any questions you may have regarding ductless heating and air conditioning.
Maintenance
Ductless systems can provide a range of benefits to maintenance that traditional HVAC equipment is not able to match. This includes energy efficiency, which can lead to lower operating costs and environmental impact. The absence of ductwork helps keep indoor air quality high. The ductwork in a traditional HVAC system is susceptible to contamination by dirt, grime and bacteria. It could also be affected by pet dander or rodent droppings. The ductless units, which are not visible, systems are easy to clean and maintain.
The installation of HVAC systems that are ductless is less expensive than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to ductwork being labor-intensive, and installation can be expensive, especially in older homes that have uninsulated ceilings and walls. The noninvasive nature of the installation process that involves the mounting of outdoor and indoor units, removes the need for this expense and can be completed in just one day.
When comparing ductless HVAC systems to window-type systems, they’re much quieter. The system’s smaller physical size contributes to this, as well as their incredibly efficient operation. They require less maintenance and require only one or two air filters that need to be changed and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also ideal for retrofits or new construction. They can replace less-efficient space heaters and window air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can be used in mobile homes, apartments, and condos in which ductwork is not feasible.
