Ductless systems are great for adding new features to your home or for older homes that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and energy efficient.
No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioners are an excellent alternative for homes that do not have ductwork, or for rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to reach. Unlike central AC systems, which rely on one unit in the attic and ducts to move air throughout the home, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units linked to an outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and offer versatility in terms of aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system is not only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can save you money by cooling and heating the rooms that are actually in use. This is a great method to reduce waste while maintaining the perfect temperature in your home for all of its inhabitants.
These systems are very easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by washing the filters and using a defroster periodically. Regular maintenance by technicians will ensure that the system is operating as efficiently and smoothly as possible for as long as it can.
Many people prefer to use ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They are ideal for adding a second room to a home, for converting a garage or basement into living space, and for increasing the temperature in rooms that’s often too hot or cold.
Another benefit of the ductless system is that they are much more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, ductless systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems could save you hundreds of dollars per year. These systems can be even more efficient with the use of a heat pump that also cools and heats your home.

Energy Efficient
One of the main reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to reduce energy usage and save you money by proactively cooling the areas of your house that are occupied. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or new garage or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is transformed into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers consume a fraction of power to cool an entire home using ductwork because they don’t have to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated system that is ductless.
It only takes 3 inches to connect the lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by HVAC systems.
Each air handler in your home operates independently from the other and this means that you can cool your bedrooms while leaving the living area at a warmer temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler also has its own programmable thermostat, which allows you to fine-tune the temperature based on each family member’s preferences.
As the economy continues to improve, many people are thinking about the possibility of adding a gym to their home or bedroom addition to their house. If you decide to do this, your current heating and cooling system could be overworked by trying to regulate temperatures in an additional space of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you manage the temperature in a way that is independent and stop your home from being overheated or cooled. This will help you save on your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively easy, especially if you are working with a professional HVAC firm. They are typically mounted high on the wall of an exterior. The installer will only need to drill a small opening in the wall to accommodate the piping. The ductless system is joined to the home with clamps to hold the piping.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms to 400 square feet. It is possible to require more than one ductless system to cool a large home with many floors.
Some ductless systems come with several indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit comes with its own thermostat so the occupants can choose the temperature they want in their own room. This is a great method to create cooling zones within your home or business.
The ability to regulate each room in your house is especially useful when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. With the ductless air conditioning system you can only cool those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are generally less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also prevent any loss of energy due to leaking the ductwork. This could reduce the efficiency of your system. This can aid in keeping your energy costs lower throughout the throughout the year. You can cut down on your energy usage by selecting the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with a higher SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.
A ductless system can help you save money by offering zoned comfort. With a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room in your house. You can maintain your bedroom and living room at different temperatures, without having an impact on other rooms in your home. This feature can be especially useful for families with pets or children 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 blows air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air and is then released outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety locations, such as in an attic, a home addition, or garage.
Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as standalone units or be combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are ideal to retrofit an existing house or adding air conditioning, and for new construction or renovations in which there isn’t enough space or budget to install air ducts. They’re also an excellent choice for homes with low ceilings like in an attic that has been converted or a garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small dwelling and connects only one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This allows you to control the temperature of each room independently, which is especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
