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 will take care of all installation and maintenance work.

Ductless systems can also be utilized in older homes as well as new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is effective and energy efficient.

No Need for Ductwork

Ductless air conditioners are an excellent alternative for homes that do not have ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. Unlike central AC systems, which rely on one unit in an attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the house, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units that are connected to an outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and offer versatility in terms of design and function.

A ductless system isn’t only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will assist you in reducing your energy bills by heating and cooling the rooms that are used. This is a great method to reduce waste and maintain your home at a perfect temperature for all occupants.

These systems are very easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be easily cleaned by cleaning the filters and running an occasional defroster. Additionally regular maintenance by a skilled technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.

Many people choose ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They are perfect to add an extra space to a home and for converting garages or basement into living space, and for increasing the temperature in a room that is often too hot or cold.

A ductless system has the benefit of being much more cost-effective than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year. These systems can be more efficient if you have the use of a heat pump that both heats and cools your home.

It’s important to work with an experienced HVAC firm when you’re considering whether a ductless system is right for you. The skilled technicians at Garden City HVAC can answer any questions and help you determine the best ductless system to meet your needs. Contact Garden City HVAC today to begin!

Energy efficient

One of the primary advantages of 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 your energy usage and help you save money. They do this by actively cooling the areas of your house that are occupied. This is why they are ideal for homes that have a new addition or garage, or that have rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with ductwork.

Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and then fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers themselves run on a less power than what is needed to cool a home using ductwork since they don’t require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This allows the system to attain higher SEER ratings than an ordinary AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated air ductless unit.

It takes only 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting that is required by HVAC systems.

Each air handler in your home operates independently of the others that is why you can cool your bedrooms while leaving the living room at a higher temperature and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own temperature control, which means you can adjust it to the preferences of each member of your family.

Many people are considering the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to improve. If you decide to do this, your existing heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed by the need to regulate temperatures in an extra space of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you control the temperature independently and prevent your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This can lower your energy costs and your carbon footprint.

Easy to Install

Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively easy, especially if you have an HVAC company that is professional. These units are often placed on top of an exterior wall, and the installer needs to drill a small hole in the wall and feed the piping through. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps to secure the piping.

A single ductless unit can cool rooms to 400 square feet. If you have a large house with multiple stories, you might need to install more than one ductless unit in order to cool your entire home.

Some ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected 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 an excellent way to create cooling zones within your home or business.

It is extremely useful to be able to regulate the temperature of each area of your house, especially when you have a lot of family members who prefer different temperatures. You can save money with a ductless system by cooling only those rooms that are occupied.

If you’re considering upgrading your current air conditioner to a ductless one or adding a cooling system to your gym or garage, get in touch with us today. We’ll assist you in selecting the best ductless AC system to meet your needs, and take care of all installation and maintenance.

To get the most value from your ductless system requires regular maintenance, including regular filter cleaning and regular cleaning and inspection of the evaporator coils as well as the condenser unit. Our technicians can help make a maintenance schedule that’s right for your ductless system and the space it is serving. You can also learn more about maintaining your ductless system by reading our ductless maintenance manual.

Save Money

Ductless AC systems are usually less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce any energy loss due to leaky the ductwork. This can reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help to keep your energy bills lower throughout the year. You can reduce your energy consumption by choosing an appliance that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with a higher SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.

A ductless system will also help you save money by offering comfort in zones. Using a remote control, you can adjust the temperature for each room in your house. This lets you keep the living room and bedrooms at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature is especially useful for families with pets who spend most 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) is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and is then ejected out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in a variety of locations, including garages, attics or even a home addition.

Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units or in combination to cool the entire house. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house, as well as new construction or renovations that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings, like in an attic conversion or garage.

A single-zone ductless unit is usually enough to cool a small home, and it connects just one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This allows you to independently control the temperature of each room, which is particularly useful for large homes.
