Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
A ductless air conditioning system is the best option for cooling homes without ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you choose the ideal size for your home, and take care of all of the installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems can also be installed in older homes or new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy efficient and efficient.
No ductwork is required
Ductless air conditioning is a great option for homes that do not have ductwork in place or for rooms that would be difficult to serve with traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems which use an attic unit and ducts for air distribution throughout the home, uses individual indoor units connected to a condenser outside. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and offer a range of aesthetics and functional.
In addition to being simpler to install, a ductless system is more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can assist you in reducing your energy costs by heating and cooling the rooms that are used. This is a great method to reduce waste while maintaining the perfect temperature in your home for all of its occupants.
These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters regularly. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system is operating as smoothly and efficiently as possible for the duration of time it can.
Many people opt to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are ideal for adding an extra room to a home and for converting garages or basement into a living space and for boosting the temperature in rooms that is usually too hot or too cold.
Another benefit of ductless systems is that they are much more affordable than the latest high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year by obtaining the energy STAR certification. These systems are more efficient when you add the use of a heat pump that both heats and cools your home.

Energy efficient
One of the primary reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY START-certified systems are designed to cut down on the energy use and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your house which are not being used. These systems are perfect for homes with an addition or new garage or rooms that are hard to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers use less power to cool a home with ductwork, because they do not have to be as efficient to regulate temperatures and move air. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that does not have a ductless system.
It only takes 3 inches to connect the lines from the 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 in your home works independently of the others and this means that you can cool your bedrooms, but leave the living area at a warmer temperature, and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler comes with its own thermostat that is programmable which you can use to fine-tune the temperature based on the preferences of each family member.
Many are thinking of adding a home gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to grow. If you add a gym at home, a bedroom or another accessory to your home the heating and air conditioning system might be strained trying to regulate the temperature in another part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will allow you to control the temperature independently and keep your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will help you save on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are relatively easy to install, particularly when you are working with an HVAC professional. They are typically installed on the outside of a wall. The installer will only need to drill a tiny hole in the wall to accommodate the piping. The ductless system then gets attached to the house by clamps that hold the piping and affixed to the wall.
A single ductless unit can cool rooms up 400 square feet. You may need more than one ductless system to cool a large house with many floors.
Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, allowing the people in each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to achieve cooling zones in your home or business.
It is extremely useful to be able to regulate the temperature in each zone of your home, particularly when you have several family members who are accustomed to different temperatures. You can save money using an ductless system that cools only those rooms that are used.

Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are generally more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential loss of energy caused by leaky ductwork, which can drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This will aid in keeping your energy costs at a lower level throughout the throughout the year. You can cut down on your energy consumption by choosing the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will require less energy to cool your home.
A ductless system will also help you save money by offering zoned comfort. You can utilize a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This lets you keep the living room and bedrooms at different temperatures without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature can be particularly useful if you have children or pets who spend the majority of their time in a single room.
A ductless system works in the same way as a heat pump, but without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) blows air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, then it’s removed outside through small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is placed in a variety places, including an attic, home addition or garage.
Ductless mini-split systems can work as a stand-alone unit or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are ideal for retrofitting an old home or incorporating air conditioning and also for renovations or new construction where there is no space or budget to install air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes with low ceilings, like in an attic conversion or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool small homes and connects just one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via the use of a single condenser. This allows you to independently regulate the temperature of each room, which is particularly suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
