No need for ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic option for homes that do not have ductwork in place or rooms that are difficult to service with traditional ducting. In contrast to central AC systems, which rely on one unit in an attic, and ducts to circulate air throughout the home, a ductless system uses individual indoor blower units connected to an outdoor condenser. They can be hung on the ceiling or wall and provide a variety of aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system is not only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can help you reduce your energy consumption by heating and cooling only the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to reduce waste while maintaining the perfect temperature in your home for all its inhabitants.
These systems are easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters periodically. Additionally regular maintenance performed by a skilled technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and effectively for as long as possible.
Many people opt to use ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to add an extra room or convert a garage or basement into a living space, or increase the temperature of a room that is often too cold or hot.
A ductless system has the benefit of being more affordable than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year with the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are more efficient when paired with a heating system which cools and heats the house.
It is essential to choose an experienced HVAC company when deciding if a ductless system is right for you. Garden City HVAC’s skilled technicians Garden City HVAC can answer any questions and help you find the perfect ductless system for your needs. Contact them today to get started!
Energy Efficient
One of the main reasons to opt for ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and save you money by proactively cooling the areas of your house which are in use. This makes them ideal for homes with a brand new garage or an addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it to direct current, which is then directed through the air handlers inside your home. The air handlers consume less power to cool the entire home with ductwork, because they do not have to work as hard in order to regulate temperatures and move air. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that doesn’t have a ductless unit.
Additionally, it only takes around 3 inches on your walls, floors and ceilings to run all of the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by HVAC systems.
Each air handler is independent which means you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living space at a higher temperature. This will save energy because it won’t be chilled. Each air handler has its own thermostat programmable, which allows you to fine-tune the temperature according to the preferences of each family member.
As the economy continues to recover Many people are contemplating building a gym in their home or bedroom improvements to their home. If you do this, your existing heating and cooling system may be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an additional space of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will let you control the temperature independently and prevent your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This can reduce your energy costs as well as your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is relatively simple, particularly if you work with an experienced HVAC company. They are typically installed on the outside of a wall. The installer will only need to drill a small hole in the drywall for the pipe. The ductless system is connected to the house using clamps to hold the piping.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms to 400 square feet. If you have a large home with multiple stories, you may need to add more than one ductless unit to cool the entire house.
Some ductless systems come with several indoor units linked to the outdoor unit. Each unit is equipped with its own thermostat, which means that the inhabitants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great method to get true cooling zoning in your home or office.
It is extremely useful to be able to control the temperature in each zone of your home, particularly when you have a lot of people living with you who have different preferences for temperature. You can save money with the ductless system by cooling only those rooms that are occupied.

Our manual for maintenance on ductless systems will help you learn more about how to maintain your system.
Save Money
Ductless AC systems are usually more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of energy loss caused by leaky ductwork that can greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This will help keep your energy bills lower all throughout the year. You can cut down on your energy consumption by choosing the system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with a higher SEER will be more efficient and use less energy.
A ductless system can also save you money by providing comfort in zones. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This allows you to keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures without affecting other rooms in your house. This feature can be particularly useful for families with pets or children who spend the majority of their time in a single room.
The ductless system is similar to a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit (also known as an air handler) blows air through the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and is then released outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is mounted in many different places, including garages, attics, or even a home addition.
Mini-splits with ductless technology can function as standalone units or combined to provide whole-home cooling. They’re perfect for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing home and also for renovations or new construction that don’t have the space or budget for air ducts. They are an excellent option for homes that have low ceilings like garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless unit is usually sufficient to cool small houses and connects one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with the use of a single condenser. This lets you individually regulate the temperature of each room, which is particularly suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
