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 right size system for your home and will take care of all installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are also installed in older homes or new additions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy efficient.
No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioning is a great option for homes that do not have ductwork installed or for rooms that are difficult to service by traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems that rely on a unit in the attic and ducts for air distribution throughout the house, utilizes separate indoor units that are connected to a condenser outside. These units can be mounted on the walls or ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system isn’t only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by cooling and heating the rooms that are actually being used. This is a great method to reduce waste and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone in the.
They are extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters periodically. Additionally regular maintenance performed by a trained technician will ensure the system runs smoothly and effectively for as long as is feasible.
Many people opt to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are great to add an extra space to a home, for converting a garage or basement into a living space, and for increasing the temperature of a room that is usually too hot or too cold.
Another benefit of ductless systems is that they are more affordable than the latest, high efficiency, ducted systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars each year. These systems can be more efficient with a heat pump, which also cools and heats your home.

Energy efficient
One of the main advantages of ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re much more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and help you save money by actively cooling only the areas of your home that are used. This is why they are ideal for homes with a new garage or an addition or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers run using a small less power than what is needed to cool a home with ductwork because they do not require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This enables the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t come with a system that is ductless.
Furthermore, it takes about 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting that is required by HVAC systems.
Each air handler functions independently, so you can cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living room at a higher temperature. This can save energy because it’s not cooled. Each air handler also has its own programmable thermostat, which you can use to fine-tune the temperature based on each family member’s preferences.
Many are thinking of the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to grow. When you do this, your existing heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed by the need to regulate temperatures in an additional space of your home that is not served by ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be put in these spaces to provide you with a separate temperature control and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary cooling or heating. This can help you save on your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are relatively easy to install, especially when you have a professional HVAC company. These units are usually mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer needs to drill a small opening into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system will be attached to the home using clamps to secure the piping.
The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it can cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. You may need more than one ductless unit to cool a large house with many floors.
Some ductless systems come with several indoor units linked to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, so that the inhabitants of each room can choose the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.
It is very useful to to control the temperature of each area of your house, especially if you have multiple members of your household who prefer different temperatures. You can save money using the ductless system by cooling only those rooms that are occupied.

The ductless maintenance manual will help you learn more about maintaining your system.
Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are usually cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate the potential energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which can greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This can aid in keeping your energy costs at a lower level throughout the year long. You can cut down on your energy usage by selecting a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with a higher SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
Another way that ductless systems can help you save money is by providing zoned comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. You can maintain your bedroom and living room at different temperatures, without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature can be especially useful for families with pets or children who spend the majority of their time in one room.
The ductless system is similar to a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler, is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant is able to absorb heat from the air and is then removed outside via a small gap in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety places, including an attic, home addition or garage.
Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are great for retrofitting an old home or adding air conditioning, and also for renovations or new construction where there’s no room or budget for air ducts. They’re also an excellent choice for homes with low ceilings such as in an attic conversion or garage.
A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool a small dwelling and connects only one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperatures of each room independently, which is especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
