Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes without ductwork, or for rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. Unlike central AC systems that rely on a single unit in an attic, and ducts to move air throughout the home, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units that are connected to a single outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and offer a range of design and function.

Energy efficient

One of the main reasons to opt for 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 cooling only the areas of your house that are occupied. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or garage that is new, or rooms that are hard to cool and heat using ductwork.

Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is transformed into direct current and then fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers run with a fraction of the power needed to cool the entire home using ductwork since they do not need to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that doesn’t have a ductless unit.

Additionally, it only takes approximately 3 inches of space on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is much smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by the typical HVAC system.

Each air handler in your home operates independently from the other that is why you can cool your bedrooms, while leaving the living space at a warmer temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own thermostat that is programmable that can be used to adjust the temperature based on the preferences of each family member.

Many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to grow. When you do this, your existing heating and cooling system might be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an additional part of your home without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be put in these spaces to give you a more independent temperature control, and help your home avoid unnecessary cooling or heating. This can help you save money on your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

These units are often installed high on an exterior wall, so the installer only needs to drill a small hole in the wall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system is then attached to the house by using clamps that secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.

The cooling power of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, which means it can cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. You may need more than one ductless system to cool a large house with several floors.

Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit comes with its own thermostat so that users can select the temperature they would like to have in their particular room. This is a great method to get true cooling zoning within your office or home.

Being able to control every zone within your home is useful when you have many people who all like different temperatures. You can save money with a ductless system by cooling only rooms that are used.

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 evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, then it’s removed outside through a small hole in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of locations, such as in an attic, home addition, or garage.

Mini-split ductless systems can be utilized as stand-alone units, or combined to provide cooling for the entire house. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence or renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes with low ceilings, like an attic that has been converted or a garage.

A single-zone ductless system is typically 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 regulate the temperature of each room, which is particularly useful for large homes.
