Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is the best option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will assist you in selecting the appropriate size system for your home and will manage the installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are great for the addition of new rooms to your home or older ones that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and energy efficient.
No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic solution for homes that do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that would be difficult to service by traditional ducting. In contrast to central AC systems that rely on a single unit in an attic, and ducts to move air throughout the house the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units connected to a single outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on the wall or ceiling and provide a variety of aesthetics and functionality.
A ductless system isn’t only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can aid in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great way to reduce waste and keep the ideal temperature in your home for all its occupants.
They are also easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by simply cleaning the filters and running a defroster periodically. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system functions as smoothly and efficiently as it is possible for as long as it can.
Many people opt to use ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They are a great way to add an extra space, convert a garage or basement to living space, or boost the temperature of a room that is often too hot or cold.
Another advantage of a ductless system is that they are more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year by obtaining the energy STAR certification. These systems can be even more efficient when you add the use of a heat pump that also cools and heats your home.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is an important reason to consider them. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and save you money by proactively cooling the areas of your house that are used. These systems are perfect for homes with an addition or garage that is new or rooms that are hard to heat and cool using ductwork.
Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it to direct current, which is then delivered to the individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers use less 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 for a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that doesn’t have a ductless system.
Additionally, it only takes about 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is less than the 12 inches of ducting used by a typical HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home works independently of the others and this means that you can cool the bedrooms, while leaving the living space at a warmer temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own thermostat programmable which allows you to fine-tune the temperature according to the preferences of each family member.
Many are thinking of adding a home gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to improve. If you decide to do this, your current heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed by the need to regulate temperatures in an extra part of your home without ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be installed in these spaces to give you a more independent temperature control, and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This will aid in reducing your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are relatively easy to install, particularly when you have an experienced HVAC company. These units are usually mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer needs to drill a tiny hole in the drywall for the pipes. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps to secure the pipe.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms to 400 square feet. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless unit to cool a large house with many floors.
Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit comes with its own thermostat so that residents can set the temperature they want in their particular room. This is a great method to get true cooling zoning in your home or office.
It is extremely useful to to control the temperature of each area of your home, particularly when you have several people living with you who are accustomed to different temperatures. You can save money using the ductless system by cooling only those rooms that are in use.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are usually cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which can greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This can help reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can cut down on energy usage by selecting the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has a higher SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.
A ductless system will also save you money by offering zones of comfort. By using a remote control you can adjust the temperature for each room in your home. You can keep your bedroom and living room at different temperatures, without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly useful when your pets or children spend the majority of their time in a single room.
A ductless system functions in the same way as a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, and then it’s removed outside through small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of locations such as garages, attics or even a home addition.
Mini-split ductless systems are utilized as stand-alone units, or in combination to cool the entire house. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing home or renovations or new construction that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes with low ceilings, like in an attic that has been converted or a garage.
A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small dwelling and connects only one indoor air handler to an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using the use of a single condenser. This lets you control the temperature of each space independently, which can be especially helpful for large homes.
