There is no need for ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is a great solution for homes that either don’t have existing ductwork or for rooms that would be difficult to service with traditional ducting. Unlike central AC systems that use one unit in the attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the house, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units linked to an outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and provide a variety of aesthetics and functionality.
A ductless system is not just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can aid in saving energy by cooling and heating the rooms that are being used. This is a great method to reduce waste while maintaining the perfect temperature in your home for all of its inhabitants.
These systems are easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be easily cleaned by simply washing the filters and running the defroster regularly. Additionally regular maintenance by a professional technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as is feasible.
Many people choose ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They are perfect 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 is usually too hot or cold.
Another benefit of ductless systems is that they are more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems are more efficient when you add the use of a heat pump that can both cool and heat your home.

Energy Efficient
The fact that ductless systems are less energy-intensive than conventional heating and cooling systems is a major reason to choose them. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to reduce your energy consumption and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your home that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes that have an addition or garage that is new, or rooms that are hard to cool and heat with ductwork.
Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it to direct current, which is then fed through individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers themselves operate on a smaller amount of power to cool a home using ductwork since they do not need to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not include a ductless unit.
Furthermore, it takes about 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting required by a HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home operates independently of the others that is why you can cool the bedrooms, while leaving the living area at a warmer temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own thermostat that is programmable which you can use to fine-tune the temperature according to each family member’s preferences.
As the economy continues to grow Many people are thinking about adding a home gym or bedroom improvements to their home. If you decide to do this, your existing heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed by the need to regulate temperatures in an additional part of your home without ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be put in these spaces to give you independent temperature control, and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This will help you save money on your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are fairly simple to install, particularly when you work with an HVAC professional. These units are often mounted high up on an exterior wall, so the installer needs to drill a small hole in the drywall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system will be connected to the house using clamps to secure the pipe.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms to 400 square feet. If you live in a home with multiple stories, you might need to install more than one ductless unit to cool the entire house.
Certain ductless systems have several indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, so that users can select the temperature they prefer in their individual room. This is a great way to create cooling zones in your home or business.
The ability to regulate each room in your home is beneficial when you live with many people who all like different temperatures. You can save money with a ductless system by cooling only rooms that are used.

Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are generally cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential loss of energy due to leaky ductwork, which could greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC 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 with an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will require less energy to cool your home.
Another way that ductless systems can save you money is by providing zoned comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. You can keep your bedroom and living space at different temperatures, without affecting the other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly beneficial if your children or pets spend the majority of their time in a single room.
The ductless system functions similar to a heat-pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, also known as an air handler blows air on evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, and then it is ejected outside via a small hole in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is installed in a variety of locations, including an attic, home addition or garage.
Mini-splits that are ductless can work as a stand-alone unit or combined to provide whole-home cooling. They are great for retrofitting an old home or incorporating air conditioning and for renovations or new construction where there is no space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes with low ceilings like an attic or garage.
A single-zone ductless unit is typically enough to cool homes with small spaces and connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This lets you independently regulate the temperature of each room, which is especially suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
