Ductless Heating and Cooling
The ultimate in home comfort is made possible by ductless cooling and heating. These systems offer individualized comfort zones with cost savings and more.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers which heat or cool specific rooms in your house. They replace baseboard heating systems as well as window air conditioning systems and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are perfect for homeowners who require greater control over their heating and cooling. They don’t require ductwork to operate and can be used in places such as garages, sunrooms, and basements that would not be feasible with conventional systems. These mini-splits are also very energy efficient, and can help you save a lot of money on your utility bills.
They make use of a small outdoor unit to generate heat by drawing air outside, then transfer the heat inside to keep you warm during winter. In summer, they are able to act as air conditioners by taking heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems are quieter than traditional ones, and the indoor air-handling units include built-in filters to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
You can adjust your temperature settings for each room by using ductless heating and cooling which is ideal for families with different preferences. Each indoor air handling system comes with a thermostat that you can alter according to the needs and lifestyle of your family. This flexibility allows every member of your family to have their ideal living environment.
These systems are more energy efficient than traditional furnaces and air conditioners because they don’t have to cool or heat your entire house all at once. They are able to save energy since they don’t need to work as hard in order to maintain the temperature at a comfortable level.
The absence of ducts decreases energy loss and can lower your heating and cooling bills. And if you choose an energy-efficient model that utilizes environmentally friendly refrigerants, your ductless system will be even more energy efficient.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and convenience, ductless systems are more quiet and easier to install than traditional HVAC systems. They can be installed on walls and ceilings, and their smaller size makes them less noticeable than ductwork. They can also be installed more easily in new construction or renovations than traditional systems. And with their easy-to-use smart controls, you can keep track of your energy consumption and alter your settings remotely from a smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems have a unique design that gives more energy efficiency than forced-air systems. These systems comprise an outdoor unit, as well as one or more indoor air handlers, all connected via flexible piping that transports refrigerant and electricity to produce heat transfer. The absence of ductwork prevents thermal leakage and other sources of waste associated with duct systems, which means that they are more efficient in energy use and cost savings. These systems are also environmentally friendly because they don’t emit harmful emissions or create carbon dioxide.
There is no need to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve the desired temperature of air. For instance, you can cool the master bedroom down to a comfortable 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms in the house, which saves energy and keeps the whole family happy.
It’s the same for 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 comfort and a consistent temperature throughout your home. You don’t need to worry about wasting energy when you leave a room for a few minutes because you can turn on the heat with your remote.
A ductless system can be used to heat or cool small apartments or an additional room. It will also aid in saving money throughout the year. It can be used to replace the portable AC unit and lower your energy bills by providing cooling and heating.
A ductless system could be a great alternative to space heaters, preventing you from having to manage the use of several air conditioning units during the summer and space heaters during the winter. Plus, it provides a more streamlined look in your space and improves indoor air quality. It’s no surprise that ductless systems are becoming more popular.
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems are designed to cool and heat spaces that do not have ductwork, or in situations where the expense of installing ductwork isn’t included in a renovation or addition. A ductless system is great for sunrooms, rooms that have been renovated and basements. It’s also great for office kiosks or areas that are not being used. Each indoor unit of a multi-zone or single-zone solution comes with its own thermostat. This lets you heat and cool the rooms in use at any time.
The installation of a HVAC system that is ductless is simpler and cheaper than a traditional system, as there is no need for ductwork. A licensed technician will place the outdoor unit outside of your home on an asphalt pad and connect it to your air handlers. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the wiring, control wires, and refrigerant. Based on the size of your home there may be multiple indoor units that need to be set up to ensure maximum comfort.
Ductless systems are eco-friendly due to their energy efficiency. They don’t add to the amount of waste produced by the typical household, and they also significantly reduce the carbon footprint of a home.
Ductless systems boast some of the highest SEER ratings in the market which allows homeowners to save a significant amount on their cooling and heating costs. Compared to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s highest performing ductless systems can give up to 50 percent in savings on monthly energy bills.
A ductless system requires minimal maintenance to keep working at its best. Typically, you’ll have to clean the air filters every month, and we suggest scheduling regular professional maintenance. This will ensure that your ductless system functions effectively and efficiently for the years to come. In reality the ductless system can last for as long as 25 years if it is maintained with regular maintenance and care. Our experienced technicians are happy to answer any questions you have about ductless heating or cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems provide a number advantages in maintenance that aren’t offered by traditional HVAC equipment. This includes energy efficiency, which can lead to lower operating costs as well as environmental impact. The absence of ductwork allows to maintain a high indoor air quality. The ductwork of a home’s traditional HVAC system may be contaminated with dirt and grime, bacteria, pet dander rodent droppings, more. The ductless units, which are not visible, systems are easy to clean and maintain.
The installation of HVAC systems with ductless ducts is cheaper than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to the fact that ductwork installation is labor intensive and expensive, especially for older homes that have ceilings and walls that aren’t insulated. The noninvasive nature of the installation process that requires the installation of indoor and outdoor units, reduces the cost and can be completed in a single day.
In comparison to window-style air conditioners the ductless HVAC systems are quieter. This is due to the smaller size of the systems and how efficient they are. They require less maintenance and require only the need for a couple of air filters to be changed and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pump are also 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 in which ductwork is not feasible.
