Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and cooling gives homeowners the chance to have the ultimate comfort in their homes. These systems can be customized to provide comfort zones as well as cost savings, and much more.
Ductless systems are made up of an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers which heat or cool specific rooms within your home. They replace baseboard heating systems as well as window air conditioning systems and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are ideal for homeowners who need more control over their cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork in order to operate, and they can be installed in places like garages, sunrooms and basements that would not be feasible with conventional systems. These mini-splits are extremely energy efficient and can reduce your energy bills.
They make use of a small outdoor unit to create heat by drawing it from the outside air, and then transferring the heat to insides to keep you warm during winter. In summer, they are able to become air conditioners by taking heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems are quieter than traditional systems and the air handling units come with filters to improve your home’s air quality.
You can adjust your temperature settings on a room-by-room basis with ductless cooling and heating which is ideal for families with different preferences. Each indoor air handling system has its own thermostat that you can alter in accordance with the needs and preferences of your family. This level of personalization means that every member of your family can have their ideal living space.
These systems are more energy-efficient than conventional furnaces and air conditioners because they don’t need to heat or cool your entire house all at once. This is because they don’t have to exert as much effort to maintain a perfect temperature, and also conserve energy by not cooling or heating rooms that aren’t being used.
The absence of ducts helps reduce energy consumption, which in turn cuts down on your heating and cooling costs. Your ductless system will be more efficient if you choose an efficient unit that makes use of eco-friendly refrigeration.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use, ductless systems are quieter and more simple to install than conventional HVAC systems. They can be installed on ceilings and walls and their small size makes them less obtrusive than ductwork. They’re also more easy to install in new construction homes or renovations than conventional systems would be. With their easy-to-use, smart controls, you can monitor your energy usage and change your settings remotely using computers or smartphones.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are distinctive in their design and can provide more energy efficiency than forced air systems. They are comprised of an outdoor unit and one or more indoor air handlers. They are connected via flexible piping which carries the electricity and coolant to produce heat. The absence of ductwork reduces thermal leakage as well as other waste sources that are that are associated with duct systems, allowing for superior energy efficiency and cost savings. Moreover as these systems do not use combustible fuel to operate they don’t generate harmful emissions or carbon dioxide which makes them green choices for your home or business.
A ductless system can provide zoned comfort to meet your needs to the fullest extent, so you don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve the ideal temperature for your air. For instance, you can cool the master bedroom to an ideal temperature of 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms of the house, which saves energy and keeps the whole family happy.
The same applies to heating your home. You can set the basement or home office or any other space with an air handler to a more moderate temperature for comfortable and consistent warmth throughout your home. You don’t need to worry about using up electricity when you leave an area for a short period of time, because you can switch on the heat with your remote.
If you’re cooling an additional space or heating an apartment, the ductless system is a great way to cool and heat your home and save money all year round. It can also replace an air conditioner that is portable and lower your energy bills by providing both cooling and heating for your space.
A ductless system is also an excellent alternative to space heaters. This will spare you from having multiple air conditioners in summer and space heaters in winter. It also improves the indoor air quality and gives your space more sleek appearance. It’s no surprise that ductless systems are becoming more well-known.
Easy Installation
Ductless mini-split systems are designed to cool and heat spaces that do not have ductwork or where an addition or renovation does not include the cost of installing ductwork. A ductless system is perfect for sunrooms, rooms that have been renovated and basements. It’s also ideal for kiosks at offices or in residential spaces that are not in use. With a multi-zone or single-zone solution, each indoor unit has its own thermostat, which allows it to cool and heat only the rooms that are being used at any given time.
The installation of a air ductless HVAC system is much simpler and cheaper than a traditional one since there is no need for ductwork. A licensed technician will simply mount the outdoor unit on an outdoor concrete pad outside of your home and connect it to the air handlers in your home. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the equipment, control wires, and refrigerant. Based on the size of your house several indoor units might require to be put in place to provide optimum comfort.
Due to their energy efficiency, ductless systems are very environmentally friendly. They don’t contribute to the amount of waste generated by the average household, and they reduce the carbon footprint considerably.
Ductless systems have the highest SEER rating available in the industry. This lets homeowners reduce their heating and cooling bills. The most efficient ductless systems available are able to save up to 50% on energy bills compared to split system SEER ratings ranging from 14-17.
A ductless system requires minimal maintenance to ensure it’s operating at its best. You’ll typically need to clean your air filters at least once a week, and we suggest regular professional maintenance. This will ensure that your ductless system functions efficiently and effectively for many long time to come. A ductless system will last up to 25years or more with proper care and maintenance. Our technicians are ready to answer any questions you may have regarding ductless heating and air conditioning.
Maintenance
Ductless systems offer a number of benefits to maintenance that traditional HVAC equipment is not able to beat. This includes energy efficiency, which contributes to lower operating costs as well as environmental impact. The absence of ductwork aids in keeping indoor air quality high. The ductwork in a home’s traditional HVAC system may be contaminated by dirt, grime, bacteria, pet dander, rodent droppings, and more. The inconspicuous units of ductless systems are easy to clean and maintain.
Additionally, HVAC systems that are ductless are also less expensive to set up than traditional HVAC systems. This is because the installation of ductwork is labor-intensive and expensive, particularly for older homes with uninsulated walls and ceilings. This expense can be cut by the non-invasive nature of the ductless HVAC installation process. It involves mounting indoor and outdoor units.
Compared to window-type air conditioners, ductless HVAC systems are much quieter. The smaller physical size contributes to this, as well as their incredibly efficient operation. They also require significantly less maintenance, requiring only the occasional need to replace an air filter or conduct a yearly inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are an an excellent option for retrofits or new construction. They can replace less efficient air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can be used in mobile homes or apartments, as well as condos where ductwork is not possible.
