Why Ductless AC & Heating Might be Right for You?
Unlike the traditional centralized HVAC system, a ductless cooling and heating system or a mini-split system does not require ductwork to maintain stable and consistent room temperature. It consists of two parts: an outdoor condensing unit and a single or multiple (multi-split) wall-mounted indoor unit for direct air distribution. Both units are connected directly through refrigerant lines and cables. The indoor units work independently of each other and can be run autonomously with a remote control or made to run automatically on a pre-set schedule. This system is not only convenient and provides controlled comfort but is also highly efficient. If you are looking to upgrade the existing HVAC system or add a new one, consider installing a ductless system.
When is it ideal to opt for a ductless AC & heating system?
Here are some situations where installing a ductless system is a sensible choice than going for the centralized air conditioning and heating system:
Homes with no existing duct system installed.
Lanai or screened-in rooms.
Attics
Rooms in the house that are devoid of cold or hot air from the central system.
The home is small, and the ducted central HVAC system won’t be feasible.
New room additions in the house.
Why is it the right choice for your home?
Several reasons are contributing to the rising popularity of ductless AC & heating systems. Consider the following advantages a ductless HVAC system offers to decide if choosing one will be right for your home:
Higher comfort level
Not all parts of the home require equal heating and cooling, and also centralized systems are known to create hot or cold zones in the house. A ductless system focuses on providing comfort to a part of the house rather than the whole home. Each room can get the exact level of comfort required by its occupant, without interfering with the temperature of other areas. It facilitates managing different areas of the home with separate units.
Increased energy savings
Ductless systems are more energy-efficient as they operate only in the required areas, and other units can be switched off when not in use. Also, there are no issues like leaky ducts contributing to energy loss. Ductless HVAC systems have high SEER, EER, and HSPF ratings that make them more efficient and lead to considerable savings (up to 30%) in energy costs.
Quick and easy installation
Installing a ductless system is less invasive and requires very little time and effort. Installation is not only hassle-free but also cost-effective.
Improved air quality
There is no ductwork in the ductless system. Hence there will be no accumulation of dust, dirt, or other contaminants to circulate in the room. The ductless systems' multi-stage filtration process eliminates common germs, mildew, allergens, and bacteria, allowing the home occupants to breathe easily.
Lasts longer
Fewer components in the ductless system mean fewer repairs and replacement needs. There will be minimum chances of breakdown, and the system will last longer.
Quieter operation
Ductless systems produce less noise than their counterparts and are not annoying or distracting.
Ductless AC & heating systems are better for the environment and offer year-round comfort. They require minimal maintenance and some utility companies also offer rebates to homes and offices with a ductless system installed. Call a local HVAC contractor for more information on ductless systems and whether they are right for your home.
