Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and air conditioning gives homeowners a way to achieve the highest level of comfort for their home. They offer individual comfort zones as well as cost savings.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit as well as indoor air handlers to heat or cool the rooms of your home. They are a replacement for baseboard heating systems, window air conditioning and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are ideal for homeowners who require more control over their cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork in order to operate and can be installed in places like sunrooms, garages and basements that would not be feasible with conventional systems. Mini-split systems are extremely energy efficient and can help you save money on your energy bills.
They make use of an outdoor unit of a smaller size to create heat by drawing it from the air outside, and then transfer the heat to insides to keep you warm in winter. In summer, they act as air conditioners, and remove the heat from your home’s air. Ductless systems work more quiet than conventional systems. The indoor air-handling unit comes with filters built-in that enhance the quality of your home’s air.
You can alter your temperature settings on a room-by-room basis with ductless heating and cooling which is ideal for families with different preferences. Each indoor air-handling system has its own thermostat that you can adjust according to the needs and lifestyle of your family. This degree of personalization means that every member of your family can enjoy their ideal living space.
Because these systems aren’t obligated to heat and cool your entire house at once, they’re more energy efficient than traditional furnaces and air conditioners. This is due to the fact that they don’t need to exert as much effort to maintain a perfect temperature, and they can avoid wasting energy by not heating or cooling rooms that aren’t in use.
The absence of ducts decreases energy consumption and reduces cooling and heating bills. Your ductless system is more efficient if you select an efficient unit that makes use of eco-friendly refrigeration.
Ductless systems are less expensive and efficient than traditional HVAC systems. They are also quieter and easier for installers to install. They can be positioned on walls and ceilings, and their compact design makes them less visible than ductwork. They can also be erected more easily in new construction or renovations than traditional systems. With their simple-to-use smart controls that allow you to monitor your energy usage and change your settings remotely using a smartphone or a computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are unique in their design and provide greater energy efficiency than forced air systems. These systems include an outdoor unit along with one or more indoor air handlers all connected with flexible piping that is able to carry refrigerant and electricity to produce heat transfer. The absence of ductwork decreases the amount of waste and thermal leakage that is associated with duct systems. This allows for greater energy efficiency and cost-savings. Furthermore, since these systems don’t require combustible fuel for operation and produce no harmful emissions or carbon dioxide, making them an environmentally friendly option for your home or business.
There is no need to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve your desired temperature. For example, you can cool the master bedroom to a comfortable 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms in the house, which saves energy and keeps the whole family content.
The same applies to heating your house. You can set your home office, basement or any other space with an air handler at a moderate temperature to ensure the comfort of a consistent and comfortable heat throughout your home. You don’t have to worry about using up electricity when you leave a room for a few minutes because you can switch on the heat using your remote.
Whether you’re cooling an extra room or heating a smaller apartment, a ductless system is a great way to heat and cool your home and save cash all year long. It can also replace the need for a portable air conditioner, and cut down on your energy costs by providing heating and cooling for your space.
A ductless system is an excellent alternative to space heaters. This will save you from having multiple air conditioners in summer, and space heaters in the winter. Additionally, it gives an improved look in your home and improves the quality of indoor air. It’s not a surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly popular.
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems are designed to cool and heat spaces that do not have ductwork, or in locations in which the cost of ductwork installation is not included in a new or renovated addition. A ductless system works well in rooms that have been renovated in older homes as well as sunrooms, home additions and basements that have been renovated. It is also ideal for office kiosks and off-hours residential spaces. Each indoor unit of the single-zone or multi-zone solutions comes with its own thermostat. This allows you to heat and cool the rooms in use at any time.
The installation of a ductless HVAC system is easier and cheaper than a traditional system because there is no need for ductwork. A licensed technician will simply install the outdoor unit on a concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers in your home. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the equipment, control wires, and refrigerant. Based on the size of your home it may be necessary to have several indoor units to ensure the best comfort.
Ductless systems are eco-friendly due to their energy efficiency. They don’t add to the amount of waste generated by a typical household, and they can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the home.
Ductless systems come with some of the highest SEER ratings in the industry, allowing homeowners to enjoy substantial savings on their cooling and heating costs. The most efficient ductless systems available today can save up to 50% on energy costs compared to split system SEER ratings between 14-17.
A ductless system requires minimal maintenance to keep working at its peak. You’ll typically need to clean your air filters at least once a week, and we suggest regular professional service. This will ensure that your ductless system functions efficiently and effectively for many the years to come. A ductless system can last for up to 25years or more with proper care and maintenance. Our experienced technicians are happy to answer any questions you have about ductless heating or cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems provide a number maintenance benefits that are not available with traditional HVAC equipment. Energy efficiency is just one of the advantages, since it lowers operating costs and has a positive impact on the environment. The absence of ductwork also aids in keeping indoor air quality high. The ductwork of a house’s traditional HVAC system may be contaminated by dirt grime and pet dander, bacteria rodent droppings, more. In contrast the ductless units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned with a quick wipe of a cloth.
Additionally to that, HVAC systems that are ductless are less costly to install than traditional HVAC systems. It is because ductwork is labor-intensive and installation can be expensive, especially in older homes that do not have insulation ceilings and walls. This expense can be reduced due to the non-invasive nature of the ductless HVAC installation process. It involves mounting both indoor and outdoor units.
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 as well, with only a few air filters to be changed and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pump are also an great for retrofits and new construction. They can be substituted for less efficient space heaters and window air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can be used in mobile homes, apartments, and condos in which ductwork is not feasible.
