Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and cooling gives homeowners the opportunity to enjoy ultimate home comfort. These systems provide individualized comfort zones as well as cost savings, and much more.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit, and indoor air handlers which are used to cool or heat specific rooms in your home. They replace baseboard electric heating systems, window air conditioners and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems offer homeowners more control over cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork in order to operate and can be used in places like sunrooms, garages and basements that would not be feasible with a conventional system. These mini-splits are also very efficient in terms of energy consumption, and could help you save a lot of money on your utility bills.
They make use of a small outdoor unit to generate heat by drawing outside air, and then transferring that heat indoors to keep you warm during winter. In summer, they switch to function as air conditioners, removing heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems work more quiet than traditional systems. The air-handling unit for indoor use also includes built-in filters that improve the quality of your home’s air.
You can customize your temperature settings on a room-by-room basis with ductless heating and cooling which is ideal for families who have different preferences. Each indoor air handling unit is equipped with a separate thermostat, allowing you to set it according to your family’s needs and lifestyle. This personalization ensures that everyone in your family can have their ideal living space.
These systems are more energy efficient than conventional furnaces and air conditioners since they don’t have to heat or cool your entire home in one go. They are able to save energy since they don’t have to work as hard in order to keep a comfortable temperature.
The absence of ducts can help reduce energy consumption, which in turn reduces your cooling and heating costs. If you select a high-efficiency model that uses environmentally friendly refrigerants, your ductless unit can be even more energy-efficient.
Ductless systems are less expensive and convenient than traditional HVAC systems. They are also more quiet and easier for installers to install. They can be mounted on ceilings or walls and their compact design makes it less noticeable than ductwork. They’re also more easily installed in new construction or renovations than conventional systems could be. With their simple-to-use smart controls, you can track your energy usage and adjust your settings remotely using your smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems are distinctive in their design and offer more energy efficiency than forced air systems. They include an outdoor unit along with one or more indoor air handlers all connected with flexible piping that carries refrigerant and electricity to create heat transfer. The absence of ductwork eliminates thermal leakage and other waste sources that are caused by duct systems allowing for superior energy efficiency and cost savings. These systems are also eco friendly because they don’t emit harmful emissions or generate carbon dioxide.
A ductless system will provide zoned comfort to meet your needs to the fullest extent and needs, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency to achieve the air temperature you want. For example, you can cool the master bedroom to 65 degrees comfortably without overcooling other rooms in the house, which saves energy and keeps the entire family happy.
It’s the same with heating your house. You can set your home office, basement or any other space with an air handler set at an appropriate temperature to guarantee an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. And you don’t have to be concerned about wasting energy when you leave an area for a short time and you can switch on the heat in that area using your remote control.
A ductless system can be used to cool or heat a small apartment or a spare room. It can also allow you to save money throughout the year. It can replace the portable AC unit and lower your energy bills by providing cooling and heating.
A ductless system can also be a great alternative to space heaters, which will save you from having to manage the use of several air conditioning units during the summer and space heaters in the winter. Additionally, it gives a more streamlined look in your home and improves the quality of indoor air. It’s not a surprise that ductless systems are becoming more well-known.
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems are made to heat and cool spaces without ductwork, or in locations where the expense of installing ductwork is not included in a renovation or addition. A ductless system is perfect for remodeled rooms, sunrooms and basements. It is also ideal for kiosks in offices and residential spaces that are not open during the day. Each indoor unit in the single-zone or multi-zone solutions comes with its individual thermostat. This lets you chill and heat the rooms that are in use at any time.
The installation of a HVAC system that is ductless is much easier and less expensive than traditional HVAC systems since there is no ductwork required. A certified technician will install the outdoor unit on the concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers in your home. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units with the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the equipment, control wires, and refrigerant. Depending on the size of your home several indoor units might need to be installed in order to provide optimum comfort.
Because of their energy efficiency They are also environmentally friendly. They do not increase the amount of waste produced by the typical household, and they also significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the home.
Ductless systems have the highest SEER ratings in the industry. This allows homeowners to reduce their cooling and heating bills. Comparing to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s highest performing ductless systems can give up to 50 percent savings on monthly energy bills.
To keep it running optimally, a ductless system requires minimal maintenance. Typically, you’ll need to clean your air filters once a month, and we recommend scheduling regular professional services. This will ensure that your ductless system operates effectively and efficiently for the years to come. In reality the ductless system can last for up to 25 years if it is maintained with regular maintenance and care. Our experienced technicians are happy to answer any questions you might have about ductless heating or cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems can provide a range of maintenance benefits that traditional HVAC equipment cannot match. This includes energy efficiency, which leads to lower operating costs as well as environmental impact. The absence of ductwork helps to ensure a high indoor air quality. The ductwork that is typical to an HVAC system is vulnerable to contamination by grime, dirt and bacteria. It could also be affected by pet dander or rodent droppings. The inconspicuous units of ductless systems are easy to clean and maintain.
The installation of HVAC systems with ductless ducts is cheaper than traditional HVAC systems. It is because ductwork is labor-intensive, and installation could be costly, particularly in older homes that have uninsulated ceilings and walls. This cost can be eliminated through the non-invasive nature the ductless HVAC installation process. It involves mounting both indoor and outdoor units.
When comparing ductless HVAC systems to window-type systems, they are much quieter. The system’s smaller physical dimensions contribute to this, as does their extremely efficient operation. They require less maintenance as well and require only one or two air filters that need to be changed and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pump systems are also a great choice for retrofits or new construction. They can replace less efficient air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can also be used in condominiums, apartments and mobile homes where ductwork might not be practical.
