Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?

A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal solution for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will assist you in selecting the right size system for your home, and will manage all maintenance and installation.

Ductless systems can be used in older homes or new additions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is efficient and energy efficient.

No Need for Ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes without ductwork, or in rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. Contrary to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in an attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the house, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units connected to a single outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and offer a range of aesthetics and functionality.

A ductless system is not just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can assist you in reducing your energy consumption by heating and cooling only the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to cut down on waste and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone in the.

They are also easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters periodically. Additionally regular maintenance performed by a trained technician will ensure the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.

Many people prefer to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to create an extra space or convert a garage or basement into a living space, or to increase the temperature of a room that is often too hot or cold.

A ductless system has the advantage of being much more cost-effective than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. The energy STAR certification for these systems could save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are more efficient when paired with a heating system, which heats and cools the house.

It is important to choose an experienced HVAC firm when you’re considering whether the ductless system is suitable for you.

Energy efficient

The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is one of the main reasons to consider them. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to decrease your energy usage and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your home that are used. This is why they are ideal for homes with a brand new garage or addition, or that have 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 of your home. The air handlers run with a less power than what is needed to cool a whole home that has ductwork as they do not need to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that does not have a ductless unit.

It takes only 3 inches to connect the lines from the outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.

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

As the economy continues to recover, many people are thinking about building a gym in their home, bedroom, or other improvements to their home. If you add a gym at home, a bedroom, or any other addition to your house your heating and cooling system might be strained trying to regulate the temperature in a different part of your home that is not served by ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be put in these spaces to give you a more independent temperature control, and aid in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This can reduce your energy costs as well as your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Ductless air conditioners are fairly easy to install, particularly when you have an experienced HVAC company. They are typically mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer only needs to drill a small opening in the drywall for the pipes. The ductless system is then attached to the house by clamps that hold the piping before fixing it to the wall.

The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. You may need more than one ductless system in order to cool a large-sized house with many floors.

Some ductless systems come with multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its thermostat, which means that the occupants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is an excellent way to create cooling zones within your business or home.

It is extremely useful to be able to control the temperature in every zone of your home, especially if you have multiple family members who are accustomed to different temperatures. With an air conditioning system that is ductless you can only cool those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling rooms that aren’t in use.

Our technicians can design an maintenance schedule that is right for your ductless unit and the area it serves. Our manual for maintenance on ductless systems will help you learn more about maintaining your system.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are generally cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential energy loss caused by leaky ductwork that can greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This can help keep your energy bills at a lower level throughout the throughout the year. You can cut down on energy consumption by choosing a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with higher SEER ratings will be more efficient, which means it will require less energy to cool your home.

Another way in which a ductless system can save you money is by offering zoned comfort. By using a remote control you can adjust the temperature for each room in your home. You can maintain your living room and bedroom at different temperatures, without affecting the other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly beneficial if your children or pets spend the majority of their time in a single room.

The ductless system is the same as a heat-pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) blows air over evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, and is then released outside through small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be placed in a variety of places, including garages, attics or even a home addition.

Ductless mini-split systems can work as standalone units or combined to provide whole-home cooling. They are great for retrofitting an existing home or adding air conditioning as well as for renovations or new construction in which there isn’t enough space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes that have low ceilings such as an attic or garage.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool a small house and connects one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via a single condenser. This allows you to control the temperatures of each room independently, which can be especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
