Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is a great 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 will take care of all of the installation and maintenance tasks.
Ductless systems are also ideal for the addition of new rooms to your home or older ones that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy efficient.
No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioning is an excellent option for homes that do not have ductwork installed or rooms that are difficult to service by traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems which use a unit in the attic and ducts for air distribution throughout the house, utilizes individual indoor units linked to the outside condenser. They can be hung on the ceiling or wall and offer a range of design and function.
In addition, it is easier to install, a ductless system is more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can aid in reducing your energy costs by heating and cooling only the rooms that are being used. This is a great way to reduce waste and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are also easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by simply washing the filters and running a defroster periodically. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system is operating as smoothly and efficiently as possible for the duration of time it can.
Many people use ductless systems as an alternative to their central AC systems. They can be used to create an extra room, convert a garage or basement into a living space, or boost the temperature of a space that is often too cold or hot.
A ductless system has the advantage of being more affordable than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year by obtaining the energy STAR certification. These systems can be even more efficient if you have a heat pump, which also cools and heats your home.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is an important reason to go with them. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to reduce the energy use and save you money. They accomplish this by actively cooling areas of your home that are used. These systems are perfect for homes with an addition or new garage or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers run using a small fraction of the power needed to cool the entire home with ductwork because they don’t require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This enables the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a traditional AC system that doesn’t come with a ductless unit.
It takes only 3 inches to connect the lines from an outdoor unit up to each indoor air handler. This is a lot less than the 12 inches of ducting used by the typical HVAC system.
Each air handler operates independently which means you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living space at an elevated temperature. This will help save energy since it’s not chilled. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, so you can fine-tune it to suit the preferences of the family members.
Many are thinking of the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to improve. If you decide to add an exercise room, bedroom or other accessory to your home your heating and cooling system may be overworked trying to regulate the temperature in another area of your home without ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be installed in these spaces to give you a more independent temperature control and aid in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This can lower your energy bills and your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if you are working with a professional HVAC firm. 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 pipes. The ductless system is attached to the house by using clamps to secure the piping and affixed to the wall.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms to 400 square feet. If you own a huge home with multiple stories you may need to add more than one ductless unit in order to cool your entire home.
Some ductless systems come with several indoor units linked to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, so that the inhabitants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to achieve true cooling zoning within your office or home.
Having the ability to control each zone in your home is useful when you live with multiple people who all prefer different temperatures. With an air conditioning system that is ductless, you can cool only the spaces that are occupied and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are generally more affordable to run than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss due to leaking air ducts. This can reduce the effectiveness of your system. This will help keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can further reduce your energy usage by selecting an ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system with a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will use less energy to cool your home.
Another way in which ductless systems can help you save money is by offering zoned comfort. Using a remote control, you can adjust the temperature for each room in your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and living rooms at different temperatures without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is especially useful if you have children or pets who spend much of their time in one room.
The ductless system functions similar to a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler blows air on the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air and then ejected out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of places, including garages, attics or even a home addition.
Ductless mini-split systems can work as standalone units or be combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house and also for renovations or new construction that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes with low ceilings like a converted attic or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small home and connects one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up to 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This lets you independently regulate the temperature of each room, which is especially suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
