Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
A ductless air conditioning system is the best option for cooling homes with no ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will assist you in selecting the best size system for your home and will handle all maintenance and installation.
Ductless systems are also ideal for adding new features to your home or older homes which do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and efficient.
No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes with no ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to reach. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems which use an attic unit and ducts for air distribution throughout the home, uses individual indoor units linked to a condenser outside. These units can be mounted on the wall or ceiling and offer a range of aesthetics and functionality.
In addition to being easier to install, a ductless system is more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will aid in saving energy by heating and cooling the rooms that are actually being used. This is a great way to reduce waste while maintaining the perfect temperature in your home for all of its occupants.
They are extremely simple to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters on a regular basis. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system is operating as smoothly and efficiently as it is possible for as long as it is able to.
Many people prefer to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to create an extra room or convert a garage basement to living space, or to increase the temperature of a space that is usually too hot or cold.
Another benefit of ductless systems is that they are more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, ductless systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year, thanks to the energy STAR certification. These systems are even more efficient when combined with a heat pump that cools and heats the home.
It’s important to work with a trusted HVAC firm when you’re considering whether an ductless system is the right choice for you. Garden City HVAC’s expert technicians can answer all your questions and assist you to pick the best system that will meet your needs. Contact them now to begin!
Energy Efficient
The fact that ductless systems are less energy-intensive than conventional cooling and heating systems is an important reason to choose them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and save you money by proactively cooling the areas of your home which are in use. These systems are ideal for homes with a new garage or addition, or rooms that are hard to heat and cool using ductwork.
Ductless systems run on alternating current electricity, which is then converted into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers themselves run using a small less power than what is needed to cool a home that has ductwork as they don’t need to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not have a ductless unit.
Additionally, it only takes around 3 inches on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the 12 inches of ducting utilized by a standard HVAC system.
Each air handler is independent which means you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living room at an elevated temperature. This will save energy because it won’t be cooled. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, meaning you can adjust it to the preferences of each member of your family.
As the economy continues to grow Many people are thinking about the possibility of adding a gym to their home, bedroom, or other improvements to their home. If you are planning to add an exercise room, bedroom, or any other addition to your house your heating and air conditioning system might be strained trying to control the temperature in an part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will allow you to manage the temperature in a way that is independent and stop your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This can reduce your energy bills and also your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are fairly simple to install, particularly when you work with an HVAC professional. They are typically placed on top of an exterior wall, and the installer only needs to make a small cut into the drywall and then feed the piping through. The ductless system is attached to the home using clamps to hold the piping.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. If you have a large home with multiple stories, you might need to install more than one ductless unit in order to cool the entire house.
Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit comes with its own thermostat so that occupants can choose the temperature they would like to have in their own room. This is a great way to create a true cooling zone within your office or home.
The ability to control each zone in your home is beneficial when you live with several people who each prefer different temperatures. You can save money by using an ductless system that cools only rooms that are in use.

Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are typically more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss that may be caused by leaks in air ducts. This can reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can further minimize your energy usage by selecting a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system that has a higher SEER will be more efficient and consume less energy.
A ductless system will also save you money by providing zones of comfort. Using a remote control, you can choose different temperature settings for each room of your home. You can keep your bedroom and living room at different temperatures, without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature can be particularly useful for families with pets or children who spend much of their time in one room.
The ductless system functions the same as a heat-pump however, it does not have 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 can be mounted in a variety of places, including an attic, garage, or home addition.
Mini-splits that are ductless can work as standalone units or be combined to provide whole-home cooling. They are ideal for retrofitting an existing home or adding air conditioning as well as for new construction or renovations where there’s no room or budget to install air ducts. They are also a great option for homes with low ceilings, such as a garage or attic.
A single-zone ductless unit is usually sufficient to cool small houses 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 allows you to independently control the temperature of each room, which is particularly useful for large homes.
