Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is the ideal option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you find the right size for your home and handle all installation and maintenance work.
Ductless systems can also be installed in older homes or new additions that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy-efficient and efficient.
No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioning is a great option for homes that do not have ductwork installed or rooms that are difficult to serve with conventional ducting. Contrary to central AC systems that rely on a single unit in an attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the home the ductless system makes use of individual indoor blower units linked to one outdoor condenser. These units can be mounted on walls or the ceiling, providing flexibility for both aesthetic and functionality.
In addition to being simpler to install, a ductless system is an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can aid in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great way to reduce waste and keep the perfect temperature in your home for all of its inhabitants.
They are extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters regularly. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system functions as efficiently and smoothly as it can for the duration of time it can.
Many people utilize ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They are great for adding a second space to a house and for converting garages or basement into living space, and for increasing the temperature in rooms that’s often too hot or cold.
Another advantage of ductless systems is that they are more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, ductless systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year with the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are also more efficient when paired with a heat-pump which cools and heats the house.

Energy Efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is an important reason to consider them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to reduce energy usage and help you save money by actively cooling only the areas of your home that are used. These systems are ideal for homes with an addition or new garage or rooms that are hard to heat and cool using ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers consume less power to cool an entire home using ductwork because they don’t have to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This lets the system attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a air ductless unit.
Additionally, it only takes approximately 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.
Each air handler is independent, so you can cool your bedrooms and keep the living room at a higher temperature. This will help save energy because it’s not cooling. Each air handler comes with its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can adjust it to suit the preferences of the family members.
Many people are considering the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to improve. If you are planning to add a gym at home, a bedroom or other accessory to your home the heating and cooling system may be overworked trying to regulate the temperature in a different area of your home without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be installed in these areas to give you independent temperature control and help your home avoid unnecessary cooling or heating. This can help you save on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, especially when you have an experienced HVAC company. These units are usually mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer needs to drill a tiny hole in the drywall for the pipe. The ductless system is then joined to the house clamps that hold the piping and affixed to the wall.
The cooling power of a single ductless unit can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, which means it can easily cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. It is possible to require more than one ductless system in order to cool a large house with many floors.
Some ductless systems come with several indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit comes with its own thermostat so that occupants can choose the temperature they prefer in their individual room. This is a great way to create cooling zones within your home or business.
It is extremely beneficial to be able to control the temperature of each area of your house, especially if you have multiple people living with you who are accustomed to different temperatures. With the ductless air conditioning system you can only cool the spaces that are occupied and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.

Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are usually less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which can significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. This can help keep your energy costs lower throughout the throughout the year. You can reduce your energy usage by selecting the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with an increased SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
Another way that ductless systems can save you money is by offering zones of comfort. You can make use of a remote control in order to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This allows you to keep the living room and bedrooms at different temperatures without affecting other rooms in your house. This feature is especially beneficial if you have pets or children who spend much of their time in a single room.
The ductless system functions similar to a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes known as an air handler blows air over evaporator coils filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, then it’s removed outside through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be placed in a variety locations, 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 ideal for retrofitting an old home or adding air conditioning and also for new construction or renovations where there’s no room or money to install air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes with low ceilings such as garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small house, and it connects just one indoor air handler to an outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via one condenser. This lets you independently regulate the temperature in each room, which is especially beneficial for homes with large spaces.
