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 take care of the installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems are also ideal for adding new features to your home or older ones without ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy efficient and efficient.
No need for ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic solution for homes that either do not have ductwork installed or rooms that would be difficult to serve by traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems, which rely on an attic unit and ducts to distribute air throughout the house, utilizes separate indoor units that are connected to an outside condenser. The units can be positioned along walls or on the ceiling, allowing for flexibility in both aesthetic and functionality.
A ductless system is not just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can assist you in reducing your energy consumption by heating and cooling only the rooms that are used. This is a great way to reduce the amount of energy consumption and keep your home at the ideal temperature for all occupants.
They are also easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be easily cleaned by washing the filters and running the defroster regularly. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system is operating as smoothly and efficiently as possible for as long as it can.
Many people choose to utilize ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are ideal for adding an extra space to a house, for converting a garage or basement into living space, and for increasing the temperature of a room that’s often too hot or cold.
Another advantage of ductless systems is that they are much more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. The energy STAR certification for these systems could save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are more efficient if you have a heat pump, which also cools and heats your home.
When deciding if a ductless HVAC system is suitable for your needs, it’s important to speak with a reputable HVAC company. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians can answer your questions and help pick the best system that will meet your requirements. Contact them today to get started!
Energy efficient
One of the main advantages of ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re much more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and save you money by actively cooling only the areas of your home that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes that have a new garage or addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers consume only a small amount of power to cool an entire home, as they do not have to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows for a higher SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that doesn’t include a ductless unit.
In addition, it requires about 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is a lot less than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by a typical HVAC system.
Each air handler operates independently and can therefore cool your bedrooms, while keeping the living area at a higher temperature. This will save energy because it’s not cooling. Each air handler has its own programmable thermostat which allows you to fine-tune the temperature based on each family member’s preferences.
Many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to improve. If you add an exercise room, bedroom, or any other addition to your house, your existing heating and cooling system might be strained trying to regulate the temperature in a different part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to control the temperature independently and stop your home from being over-cooled or overheated. This can reduce your energy costs and also your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively easy, especially if you have an experienced HVAC company. They are typically placed on top of an exterior wall, so the installer only needs to make a small cut into the drywall and feed the piping into. The ductless system is joined to the home with clamps to secure the pipe.
The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can easily cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless system to cool a large-sized house with multiple floors.
Some ductless systems have several indoor units linked to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its thermostat, so that the inhabitants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to get true cooling zoning within your office or home.
Having the ability to regulate each room in your home is useful when you have several people who each prefer different temperatures. With the ductless air conditioning system you can only cool those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.
Contact us today if are interested in upgrading to a ductless AC system or adding air-conditioning for your garage apartment or gym. We’ll help you select the most suitable ductless system for your needs. We’ll handle all the maintenance and installation services.
To maximize the efficiency of your ductless system, you need to perform regular maintenance. This includes changing the air filter and cleaning and the condenser and the evaporator coils. Our technicians can help make a maintenance schedule that’s right for your ductless system and the space it is serving. The ductless maintenance manual will teach you more about how to maintain your system.
Save Money
Ductless AC systems are generally more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss due to leaky air ducts. This can reduce the efficiency of your system. This will help keep your energy costs lower all year long. You can cut down on energy consumption by choosing an appliance that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with a higher SEER will be more efficient and consume less energy.
Another way in which ductless systems can save you money is by providing zones of comfort. Using a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room in your house. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is particularly beneficial when your pets or children spend the majority of their time in one room.
The ductless system functions similar to a heat pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) blows air through evaporator coils which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, and then it’s removed outside through tiny holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be placed in a variety of places, including garages, attics, or home addition.
Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are perfect for retrofitting an existing home or incorporating air conditioning and for renovations or new construction where there is no space or money to install air ducts. They’re also an excellent choice for homes with low ceilings, like in a converted attic or garage.
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 via one condenser. This allows you to regulate the temperatures of each room independently, which can be especially helpful for large homes.
