Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate in home comfort is made possible by ductless heating and cooling. These systems offer individualized comfort zones, cost savings and more.
Ductless systems comprise of an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers that can cool or heat certain rooms in your home. They replace baseboard electric heating systems window air conditioners, window air conditioners as well as space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are great for homeowners who want greater control over their heating and cooling. They don’t require ductwork to operate and can be used in places like garages, sunrooms and basements that wouldn’t be feasible with traditional systems. These mini-split systems are also extremely energy efficient and can reduce your utility bills.
They utilize a small outdoor unit to create heat by drawing it from the air outside, then transfer the heat to insides to keep you warm during winter. In summer, they are able to act as air conditioners by taking heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems work more quiet than traditional systems. The indoor air-handling unit also includes built-in filters that improve the quality of the air in your home.
You can alter your temperature settings for each room with ductless cooling and heating which is ideal for families with different preferences. Each indoor air handling unit is equipped with a separate thermostat, which allows you to adjust it according to your family’s requirements and lifestyle. This degree of personalization means that everyone in your family can have their ideal living space.
Since these systems aren’t forced to heat and cool your entire home at once They’re much more efficient than conventional furnaces and air conditioners. They can save energy because they don’t have to be as efficient in order to keep the temperature at a comfortable level.
The absence of ducts helps reduce energy losses, which further reduces your cooling and heating costs. If you select a high-efficiency model that makes use of green refrigerants, your ductless model could be more efficient in energy use.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and convenience, ductless systems are more quiet and easier to install than traditional HVAC systems. They can be installed on ceilings and walls, and their smaller size makes them less visible than ductwork. They can also be installed more easily in new construction or renovations than traditional systems. With their easy-to use smart controls, you’ll be able to track your energy consumption and adjust your settings remotely via either a smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are distinctive in their design and provide higher energy efficiency than forced air systems. These systems include an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers all connected with flexible piping that carries refrigerant and electricity to create heat transfer. The absence of ductwork minimizes heat loss and waste that comes with duct systems. This results in higher efficiency in energy and savings. These systems are also eco friendly because they don’t emit harmful emissions or generate carbon dioxide.
A ductless system will provide zoned comfort to satisfy your individual needs, so you don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve the ideal temperature for your air. You can cool your master bedroom to 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms. This helps save energy and makes the whole family content.
The same applies to heating your home. You can set the temperature of your basement or home office, or any other space with an air handler to a more moderate temperature to ensure an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. You don’t have to worry about wasting energy when you leave a space for a short period of time, because you can switch on the heat using your remote.
If you’re cooling an additional room or heating a small apartment, an ductless system can be an ideal way to cool and heat your space and help save money all year round. It can even replace a portable air conditioner and cut down on your energy costs by providing cooling and heating for your space.
A ductless system could be an excellent replacement for space heaters, which will save you from having to juggle the use of several air conditioning units in the summer and space heaters in winter. It also improves indoor air quality and gives your space an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Considering all the benefits of a ductless air system, it’s no wonder they’re becoming so popular!
Easy Installation
Mini-splits with ductless technology are designed to cool and heat spaces that do not have ductwork, or for locations where an addition or renovation is not covered by the cost of installing ductwork. A ductless system is great for sunrooms, remodeled rooms and basements. It’s also ideal for office kiosks or areas that are not in use. Each indoor unit of a multi-zone or single-zone solution comes with its individual thermostat. This allows you to chill and heat the rooms in use at any time.
The installation of a HVAC system that is ductless is much easier and less costly than traditional HVAC systems since there is no ductwork required. A licensed technician will mount the outdoor unit on a concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers in your home. Installers will run a conduit to connect the indoor units with the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the equipment, control wires, and refrigerant. Based on the size of your home several indoor units might be required to be installed in order to provide optimum comfort.
Ductless systems are environmentally friendly due to their high energy efficiency. They don’t contribute to the waste produced by the average household, and they reduce carbon footprint considerably.
Ductless systems have some of the highest SEER ratings available in the industry, allowing homeowners to save a significant amount on their cooling and heating costs. Compared to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s highest performing ductless systems can offer up to 50 percent savings on energy bills each month.
A ductless system requires minimal maintenance to operate at its peak. Typically, you’ll need to clean your air filters at least once per month, and we suggest scheduling regular professional maintenance. This will ensure that your ductless system operates effectively and efficiently for long time to come. In reality the ductless system can last for as long as 25 years if it is maintained with regular care and maintenance. Our technicians are available to answer any questions you may have regarding the ductless heating and cooling system.
Maintenance
Ductless systems can provide a range of benefits for maintenance that traditional HVAC equipment cannot match. Energy efficiency is one of the benefits, as it reduces operating expenses and has a positive effect on the environment. The absence of ductwork also aids in keeping indoor air quality high. The ductwork in a home’s traditional HVAC system could be contaminated by dirt grime, pet dander, bacteria rodent droppings, more. The unnoticeable units of ductless systems are easy to clean and maintain.
In addition the fact that the ductless heating and cooling systems are also less expensive to set up than traditional HVAC systems. This is because the installation of ductwork is labor intensive and costly, especially for older homes with ceilings and walls that aren’t insulated. This expense can be reduced by the non-invasive nature of the ductless HVAC installation procedure. It involves the installation of both indoor and outdoor units.
As compared to window-style air conditioners the ductless HVAC systems are quieter. The systems’ smaller size contributes to this, as well as their incredibly efficient operation. They also require significantly less maintenance, requiring only the occasional requirement to change an air filter or conduct a yearly inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also a great option for retrofits or new construction. They can replace less efficient space heaters, air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can also be used in apartments, condos, and mobile homes, where ductwork may not be practical.
