With their simple to use smart controls that allow you to track your energy consumption and alter your settings remotely via a smartphone or a computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are unique in design that provides greater energy efficiency than forced-air systems. They are comprised of an outdoor unit as well as one or more indoor air handlers. They are connected with flexible piping which carries electricity and coolant to create heat. The absence of ductwork reduces thermal leakage as well as other waste sources that are that are associated with duct systems, which means that they are more efficient in energy use and cost savings.
