Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate in comfort for your home is achieved with ductless heating and cooling. These systems provide individualized comfort zones as well as cost savings, and much more.
Ductless systems comprise of an outdoor unit, and indoor air handlers which are used to cool or heat specific rooms within your home. They replace baseboard heating systems, window air conditioning and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems give homeowners greater control over cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork in order to operate, and they can be used in places such as garages, sunrooms, and basements that wouldn’t be feasible with traditional systems. Mini-split systems are highly energy efficient and can reduce your utility bills.
In winter, they employ small units outside to generate heat and transfer it inside. In summer, they act as air conditioners, and remove heat from the air in your home. Ductless systems are quieter than traditional systems and the air handling units come with filters to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
You can adjust your temperature settings for each room by using ductless heating and cooling which is ideal for families who have different preferences. Each indoor air handling unit comes with its own thermostat, allowing you to adjust it to your family’s requirements and lifestyle. This degree of personalization allows each member of your family to experience their ideal living environment.
These systems are more energy-efficient than traditional furnaces and air conditioners because they don’t have to cool or heat the entire house in one go. They can save energy because they don’t have to work as hard in order to maintain an ideal temperature.
The absence of ducts can reduce energy loss and can lower your costs for cooling and heating. If you select an energy-efficient model that utilizes eco-friendly refrigerants, your ductless unit can be even more energy-efficient.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use, ductless systems are quieter and easier to install than conventional HVAC systems. They can be installed on ceilings or walls, and their compact design makes them less visible than ductwork. They’re also more easily installed in new construction homes or renovations than a traditional system would be. With their easy-to-use, smart controls, you can keep track of your energy usage and adjust your settings remotely using your smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems have a unique design that offers more energy efficiency than forced air systems. They consist 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 and other sources of waste associated with duct systems, making them more efficient in energy and cost savings. Moreover as these systems do not require combustible fuel for operation and produce no harmful emissions or carbon dioxide and are therefore an environmentally friendly choice for your business or home.
There is no need to sacrifice energy efficiency to achieve the desired temperature of air. For instance, you can cool the master bedroom to a comfortable 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms of the house, which saves energy and keeps the whole family happy.
The same goes for heating your home. You can set your basement, home office, or any other space with an air handler to a moderate temperature to ensure an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. There is no need to worry about using up electricity when you leave a space for a few minutes, because you can turn on the heat using your remote.
A ductless system can be used to heat or cool small spaces or an additional room. It can also allow you to save money throughout the year. It can replace a portable AC unit and reduce your energy costs by providing heating and cooling.
A ductless system is a great replacement for space heaters. This will save you from having to use multiple air conditioners in the summer, and space heaters in winter. It also improves the indoor air quality and gives your space a an aesthetically pleasing appearance. When you consider all the benefits of a ductless system, it’s not surprising that they’re gaining popularity!
Easy Installation
Ductless mini-split systems are designed to cool and heat areas that do not have ductwork, or for locations where an addition or renovation is not covered by the cost of putting in ductwork. A ductless system is ideal for sunrooms, rooms that have been renovated and basements. It is also ideal for kiosks in offices and residential spaces that aren’t open for business. Each indoor unit of the single-zone or multi-zone solutions comes with its own thermostat. This lets you cool and heat the rooms that are in use at any time.
The installation of a HVAC system that is ductless is much simpler and less costly than a traditional HVAC system since there isn’t any ductwork required. A licensed technician will place the outdoor unit outside of your home on a concrete pad and connect it to your air handlers. The installers will run a conduit from the indoor units to the outdoor unit, which houses the equipment, control wiring and refrigerant lines. Based on the size of your home you may require several indoor units in order to attain the best comfort.
Ductless systems are eco-friendly due to their high energy efficiency. They don’t contribute to the amount of waste generated by the average household and they reduce carbon footprint significantly.
Ductless systems offer some of the highest SEER rating available in the industry. This lets homeowners save money on heating and cooling costs. Comparing to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s best performing ductless systems can offer up to 50 percent in savings on energy bills each month.
To keep it working at its best, a ductless system only requires minimal maintenance. Typically, you’ll need to clean your air filters at least once per month, and we recommend scheduling regular professional maintenance. This will ensure your ductless system continues to operate effectively and efficiently for many years to come. In reality a ductless system could last for as long as 25 years with routine care and maintenance. Our skilled technicians are ready to answer any questions you have regarding ductless heating and cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems provide a number advantages in maintenance that aren’t accessible with traditional HVAC equipment. Efficiency in energy is among the benefits, as it reduces operating costs and has a positive effect on the environment. The absence of ductwork can help to ensure a high indoor air quality. The ductwork of a house’s traditional HVAC system can be contaminated with dirt, grime pet dander, bacteria rodent droppings, more. The unnoticeable units of ductless systems are easy to clean and maintain.
The installation of HVAC systems with ductless ducts is cheaper than traditional HVAC systems. This is because the installation of ductwork is labor intensive and expensive, particularly in older homes with uninsulated walls and ceilings. The non-invasive nature of the installation process that requires the installation of outdoor and indoor units, reduces the cost and can be completed in just one day.
Comparing ductless HVAC with window-style systems, they are much quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the units and how efficient they are. They also require significantly less maintenance, with only the occasional need to change the air filter, and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pump systems are also a great choice for retrofits or new construction. They can be used to replace less efficient space heaters, air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can even be used in condos, apartments and mobile homes where ductwork may not be feasible.
If you’re in the market for an HVAC solution that is able to handle the northern climate, think about upgrading to a ductless system. A professional can analyze the requirements of your home and help you choose the right ductless systems for your home and ensure that it’s installed properly. Contact us to get started.
