No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes with no ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to reach. In contrast to central AC systems that use one 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 mounted on the ceiling or wall and provide a variety of aesthetics and functional.
In addition to being simpler to install and set up, a ductless system can be an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will help you reduce your energy costs by heating and cooling only 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 extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters periodically. In addition regular maintenance performed by a professional technician will ensure the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as possible.
Many people prefer to use ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to create an extra room or convert a garage basement to living space, or to increase the temperature of a room that is usually too hot or cold.
Another benefit of the ductless system is that they are more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems.

Energy Efficient
One of the primary advantages of ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY START-certified systems are designed to reduce your energy consumption and help you save money. They do this by actively cooling the areas of your house that are used. This makes them ideal for homes with a new garage or addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it to direct current that is fed through individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers run with a smaller amount of power to cool a whole home with ductwork because they do not need to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This allows the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated air ductless unit.
Additionally, it only takes about 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home operates independently from the other, which means you can cool the bedrooms while leaving the living room at a warmer temperature, and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, so you can tailor it to the preferences of the family members.
As the economy continues to recover Many people are considering the possibility of adding a gym to their home or bedroom addition to their house. If you add a gym at home, a bedroom or another accessory to your home your heating and air conditioning system might be strained trying to regulate the temperature in another area of your home without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will allow you to regulate the temperature on your own and stop your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This can lower your energy costs and your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are fairly simple to install, particularly when you are working with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically installed high on an exterior wall. The installer will only need to drill a small hole into the drywall to allow for pipe. The ductless system then gets joined to the house using clamps that secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.
A single ductless unit can cool rooms up 400 square feet. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless unit to cool a large home with many floors.
Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit has its own thermostat, so that residents can set the temperature they want in their own room. This is a great method to create a true cooling zone at your office or home.
The ability to control every zone in your home is useful when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. With an air conditioning system that is ductless it is possible to cool only those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are usually more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which can greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This can help to keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can also reduce your energy use by choosing an ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system with an increase in SEER will be more efficient and consume less energy.
A ductless system can save you money by offering zoned comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. You can keep your bedroom and living space at different temperatures, without affecting the other rooms in your home. This feature can be especially useful for families with pets or children who spend much of their time in a single room.
A ductless system works similarly to a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) blows air through the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air and is then released outside via a small gap in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is installed in a variety of locations, such as in an attic, home addition or garage.
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 adding air conditioning and also for renovations or new construction in which there isn’t enough space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings such as garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool a small house and connects only one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with the use of a single condenser. This lets you independently control the temperature of each room, which is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
