Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and air conditioning gives homeowners a way to achieve ultimate home comfort. These systems offer individualized comfort zones, cost savings and more.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers which are used to cool or heat specific rooms within your home. They replace baseboard heating systems windows, window air conditioning and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are ideal for homeowners who want greater control over their heating and cooling. They do not require ductwork and can be installed within areas such as sunrooms or garages. Mini-split systems are extremely energy efficient and could reduce your energy bills.
They use an outdoor unit of a smaller size to create heat by drawing outside air, and then transferring that heat indoors to keep you warm in winter. In summer, they function as air conditioners and remove heat from your home’s air. Ductless systems operate more quiet than conventional systems. The indoor air-handling unit has filters built-in to improve the quality of the air in your home.
You can customize your temperature settings for each room with ductless heating and cooling which is ideal for families who have different preferences. Each indoor air-handling unit comes with its own thermostat, which allows you to set it according to your family’s requirements and lifestyle. This degree of personalization allows each member of your family to experience their ideal home environment.
These systems are more energy efficient than conventional furnaces and air conditioners because they don’t need to cool or heat the entire house all at once. This is because they don’t have to be as active to maintain a consistent temperature, and they conserve energy by not heating or cooling rooms that aren’t in use.
The absence of ducts can reduce energy consumption and reduces costs for cooling and heating. And if you choose an energy-efficient model that utilizes environmentally friendly refrigerants, your ductless unit will be even more energy efficient.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use, ductless systems are more quiet and more simple to install than conventional HVAC systems. They can be installed on walls or ceilings and their compact design makes it less noticeable than ductwork. They’re also easier to install in new construction homes or renovations than conventional systems would be. And with their easy-to-use smart controls, you can monitor your energy usage and change your settings remotely on your smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems have a unique design that gives greater energy efficiency than forced-air systems. These systems comprise an outdoor unit, as well as one or more indoor air handlers, all connected via flexible piping that is able to carry electricity and refrigerant to create heat transfer. The absence of ductwork minimizes waste and thermal leakage associated with duct systems. This allows for more energy efficiency and lower costs. These systems are also eco friendly because they don’t emit harmful emissions or create carbon dioxide.
A ductless system can provide the comfort you need in a zone to satisfy your individual needs, so you don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency to achieve the temperature you desire. You can cool your master bedroom to 65 degrees while not overcooling the other rooms. This saves energy and makes the whole family content.
The same applies to heating your home. You can set the temperature of your basement or home office, or any other space with an air handler to a moderate temperature to ensure comfortable and consistent warmth throughout your home. Also, you don’t have to worry about wasting energy if you leave a room for a while because you can turn on the heat in the area with your remote control.
Whether you’re cooling an extra room or heating a smaller apartment, a ductless system is the ideal solution to heat and cool your space while saving money throughout the year. It can even replace 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 spare you from having to use multiple air conditioners in the summer, and space heaters during the winter. Additionally, it gives an easier-to-clean look to your space and improves indoor air quality. It’s not a surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly well-known.
Easy Installation
Ductless mini-split systems are designed to heat and cool areas that do not have ductwork or for areas where a new addition or renovation doesn’t include the expense of installing ductwork. A ductless system works well for rooms that have been renovated, such as homes and home additions, sunrooms, and even a renovated basement. It is also ideal for office kiosks and residential spaces that aren’t open for business. Each indoor unit in a multi-zone or single-zone solution comes with its own thermostat. This lets you cool and heat the rooms you use at any time.
Installing a HVAC system that is ductless is simpler and cheaper than a traditional one since there is no requirement for ductwork. A licensed technician will mount the outdoor unit outside your home on an asphalt pad and connect it to your air handlers. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units with the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the equipment, control wires and refrigerant. Based on the size of your house, multiple indoor units may need to be set up to provide optimum comfort.
Due to their energy efficiency, ductless systems are very green. They don’t add to the amount of waste produced by a typical household, and they drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the home.
Ductless systems have the highest SEER rating available in the market. This allows homeowners to save money on heating and cooling costs. Comparing to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s best performing ductless systems can offer up to 50 percent savings on monthly energy bills.
A ductless system needs minimal maintenance to ensure it’s operating at its peak. In general, you’ll need to clean the air filters once a month, and we recommend scheduling regular professional maintenance. This will ensure that your ductless system functions efficiently and effectively for years to come. A ductless system can last up to 25+ years with proper care and maintenance. Our skilled technicians are ready to answer any questions you might have about ductless heating or cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems offer a number of benefits to maintenance that traditional HVAC equipment is not able to provide. This includes energy efficiency, which leads to lower operating costs and environmental impact. The absence of ductwork ensures that indoor air quality remains high. The ductwork of a traditional HVAC system is susceptible to contamination by dirt, grime and bacteria. It could also be affected by pet dander or rodent droppings. In contrast ductless systems’ subtle units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned with a quick swipe of a clean cloth.
The installation of HVAC systems with ductless ducts is cheaper than traditional HVAC systems. This is because the installation of ductwork is labor-intensive and expensive, especially for older homes that have ceilings and walls that are not insulated. This expense can be reduced by the non-invasive nature of the ductless HVAC installation process. It involves mounting both indoor and outdoor units.
Comparing ductless HVAC with window-type systems, they’re much quieter. The systems’ smaller physical dimensions contribute to this, as does their extremely efficient operation. They require less maintenance, with only the need for a couple of air filters to be changed and an annual inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also an excellent option for retrofits or new construction. They can be used to replace less efficient space heaters, window air conditioners, and radiant heating systems. They can be used in mobile homes, apartments, and condos where ductwork is not possible.
If you’re in the market for an HVAC system that is able to handle the northern climate, you should consider upgrading to a ductless system. A professional can evaluate the needs of your house, help you choose the right system that is ductless for your home and ensure it’s properly installed. Contact us today to begin.
