Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is the best option for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you select the best size for your home, and take care of all of the installation and maintenance tasks.
Ductless systems are also ideal for adding new features to your home or older ones that do not have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is effective and energy-saving.
No Need for Ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic solution for homes that either do not have ductwork in place or for rooms that would be difficult to serve with conventional ducting. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems that rely on an attic unit and ducts to distribute air throughout the house, utilizes individual indoor units linked to a condenser outside. They can be hung on the wall or ceiling and provide a variety of aesthetics and functionality.
A ductless system isn’t only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will help you reduce your energy bills by heating and cooling only the rooms that are used. This is a great way to reduce waste and maintain your home at a perfect temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are also very easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters regularly. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system is operating as efficiently and smoothly as it can for the duration of time it can.
Many people prefer to use ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They are ideal for adding a second space to a house and for converting garages or basement into a living space and also for boosting the temperature in rooms that is often too hot or cold.
Another advantage of ductless systems is that they are more cost-effective than modern, high efficiency, ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds of dollars per year with 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
One of the primary reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to reduce the energy use and help you save money. They accomplish this by actively cooling areas of your home which are not being used. These systems are ideal for homes that have an addition or garage that is new or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool using ductwork.
Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it into direct current, which is then fed through individual air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves run using a small less power than what is needed to cool a whole home using ductwork since they don’t require as much energy to move and regulate temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that does not have a ductless unit.
Furthermore, it takes around 3 inches on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to each indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by a HVAC system.
Each air handler is independent and can therefore cool your bedrooms while keeping the living space at the same temperature. This will save energy because it’s not cooled. Each air handler also has its own thermostat programmable that can be used to adjust the temperature to suit each family member’s preferences.
Many people are considering the possibility of adding a gym or bedroom to their house as the economy continues to improve. When you do this, your current heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed by the need to control temperatures in an additional part of your home without ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you control the temperature independently and stop your home from being over-cooled or overheated. This will help you save on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are simple to install, particularly when you are working with an HVAC professional. They are typically placed on top of an exterior wall, and the installer only needs to make a small cut in the wall and feed the piping through. The ductless system is then connected to the house using clamps to secure the piping before fixing it to the wall.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms to 400 square feet. It is possible to require more than one ductless system in order to cool a large house with multiple floors.
Some ductless systems have several indoor units linked to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, which means that the people in each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to create cooling zones within your business or home.
It is extremely useful to be able to regulate the temperature in every zone of your home, particularly when you have several family members who are accustomed to different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system you can only cool the spaces that are occupied and save money by not cooling empty rooms.
Contact us today if you are considering upgrading to a ductless AC system or adding air-conditioning for your gym or garage. We’ll help you choose the best ductless AC system to meet your needs, and take care of all installation and maintenance.
To maximize the performance of your ductless system, you’ll need to carry out regular maintenance. This includes changing the air filter as well as cleaning and checking the condenser and evaporator coils. Our technicians can create a schedule of maintenance that is appropriate for your ductless unit and the area it serves. You can also learn more about the maintenance of your ductless system by reading our ductless maintenance guide.
Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are usually less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential loss of energy due to leaky ductwork that can drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can cut down on your energy usage by selecting the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, which means that it will use less energy to cool your home.
A ductless system can save you money by offering zones of comfort. By using a remote control you can set different temperature settings for each room in your house. You can maintain your bedroom and living space at different temperatures without impacting other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly useful when your pets or children spend the majority of their time in a single room.
A ductless system works similarly to a heat pump but without 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, and then it is ejected outside via a small hole in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is mounted in a variety of places such as garages, attics or home addition.
Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as standalone units or combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing home, as well as new construction or renovations that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also an excellent choice for homes with low ceilings like a converted attic or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small house and connects only one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using the use of a single condenser. This allows you to control the temperature of each space independently, which can be especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
