Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
A ductless air conditioning system is the best solution for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will assist you in selecting the right size system for your home and will handle all maintenance and installation.
Ductless systems can also be used in older homes or new additions that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and efficient.
No Need for Ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is an excellent solution for homes that do not have ductwork in place or for rooms that are difficult to serve with traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems, which rely on a unit in the attic and ducts to distribute air throughout the house, utilizes individual indoor units linked to a condenser outside. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and offer a range of aesthetics and functional.
In addition to being easier to install and set up, a ductless system can be more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will assist you in reducing your energy costs by heating and cooling the rooms that are used. This is a great way to reduce waste and keep the perfect temperature in your home for all of its occupants.
They are extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters periodically. In addition regular maintenance by a skilled technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.
Many people choose to utilize ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to add an extra space or convert a garage basement to living space, or increase the temperature of a space that is usually too cold or hot.
Another advantage of a ductless system is that they are much more affordable than the latest high-efficiency, ductless systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year, thanks to the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems can be even more efficient if you have the use of a heat pump that also cools and heats your home.

Energy efficient
One of the main advantages of ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and help you save money by cooling only the areas of your house that are used. This is why they are ideal for homes with a brand new garage or an addition, or that have rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with ductwork.
Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it to direct current which is fed through individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers run with a fraction of the power needed to cool a home with ductwork because they do not require as much energy to move and control temperatures. This allows the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated system that is ductless.
It takes just 3 inches to connect the lines from an outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is much smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by a standard HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home operates independently of the others that is why you can cool the bedrooms, but leave the living space at a warmer temperature and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, which means you can adjust it to the preferences of each member of your family.
As the economy continues to recover many people are contemplating building a gym in their home or bedroom home improvement. If you add a home gym, bedroom or other home improvement the heating and air conditioning system might be strained trying to regulate the temperature in a different area of your home without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will allow you to manage the temperature in a way that is independent and stop your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This can reduce your energy costs and also your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is simple, particularly if you work with a professional HVAC firm. These units are often placed on top of an exterior wall, and the installer just has to drill a small hole into the drywall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system is attached to the home using clamps to secure the pipe.
The cooling capacity of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it can easily cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. You may need more than one ductless system to cool a large home with several floors.
Certain ductless systems include multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit comes with its own thermostat, so that occupants can choose the temperature they prefer in their own room. This is a great method to achieve true cooling zoning in your home or office.
It is extremely useful to be able to control the temperature of each area of your house, especially when you have a lot of members of your household who prefer different temperatures. With the ductless air conditioning system it is possible to cool only those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are usually less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which can drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This can aid in keeping your energy costs lower throughout the year long. You can cut down on energy usage by selecting an appliance that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, meaning it will use less energy to cool your home.
A ductless system will also help you save money by offering comfort in zones. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and the living room at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms of your house. This feature is especially useful if you have children or pets who spend a lot of their time in a single room.
A ductless system works similar to a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, blows air over the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air and then released outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of places such as garages, attics, or even a home addition.
Mini-split ductless systems can be used as standalone units, or combined to cool the entire home. They are great for retrofitting an existing home or incorporating air conditioning and also for renovations or new construction in which there isn’t enough space or budget to install air ducts. They are also a great option for homes that have low ceilings such as garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small home and connects one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via one condenser. This lets you independently control the temperature of each room, which is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
