Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and air conditioning gives homeowners a way to achieve the highest level of comfort for their home. These systems provide individualized comfort zones and cost savings.
Ductless systems comprise of an outdoor unit, and indoor air handlers that are used to cool or heat specific rooms within your home. They are a replacement for baseboard heating systems as well as window air conditioning systems and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are ideal for homeowners who need greater control over their cooling and heating. They don’t require ductwork in order to operate and can be installed in places like garages, sunrooms and basements that wouldn’t be feasible with traditional systems. Mini-splits are also energy efficient and can save you a lot of money on your energy bills.
They utilize a small outdoor unit to create heat by drawing it from the air outside, then transfer that heat indoors to keep you warm during winter. In summer, they change to function as air conditioners, removing heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems are more quiet than traditional ones and the indoor air-handling units include built-in filters to improve your home’s air quality.
With ductless heating, you can control the temperature in each room in a way that is individual. This is great for families with different preferences. Each indoor air handling system has its own thermostat that you can alter according to the requirements and lifestyle of your family. This flexibility lets every member of your family to enjoy their ideal living space.
Because these systems aren’t obligated to cool and heat your entire house at once, they’re more energy efficient than conventional furnaces and air conditioners. This is due to the fact that they don’t need to work as hard to maintain an ideal temperature, and they can save energy by not cooling or heating rooms that aren’t in use.
The absence of ducts can reduce energy loss and can lower your cooling and heating bills. Your ductless system will be more efficient if it is the most efficient model that utilizes green refrigeration.
In addition to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use, ductless systems are more quiet and less difficult to install than traditional HVAC systems. They can be hung on ceilings or walls, and their compact design makes them less noticeable than ductwork. They can also be erected more easily in new construction or renovations than traditional systems. With their simple to use smart controls, you’ll be able to track your energy consumption and change your settings remotely using either a smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems have a unique design that offers greater energy efficiency than forced-air systems. These systems comprise an outdoor unit, as well as 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 minimizes the amount of waste and thermal leakage that is associated with duct systems. This translates into more energy efficiency and lower costs. Furthermore because these systems don’t make use of combustible fuels to operate and produce no harmful emissions or carbon dioxide, making them an environmentally friendly option for your business or home.
A ductless system can offer the comfort you need in a zone to meet your needs to the fullest extent, so you don’t have to sacrifice energy efficiency to get the air temperature you want. You can cool your master bedroom to 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms. This conserves energy and makes the whole family happy.
The same applies to heating your home. You can set your home office, basement or any other room with an air handler at an appropriate temperature to ensure an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. You don’t need to worry about wasting energy if you leave an area for a short time because you can switch on the heat in the room using your remote control.
A ductless system can be used to cool or heat small spaces or an additional room. It will also aid in saving money throughout the year. It can even replace the need for a portable air conditioner, and cut down on your energy costs by providing both heating and cooling for your space.
A ductless system can be a great replacement for space heaters, preventing you from having to juggle the use of several air conditioning units in the summer and space heaters in the winter. In addition, it offers a more streamlined look in your home and improves indoor air quality. When you consider all the benefits of a ductless system it’s no wonder why they’re gaining popularity!
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems are made to heat and cool spaces without ductwork, or in locations where the cost of ductwork installation is not included in a renovation or new addition. A ductless system works well for rooms that have been renovated, such as homes as well as sunrooms, home additions and even a renovated basement. It is also ideal for office kiosks and residential spaces that are not open during the day. With a single-zone or multi-zone solution, each indoor unit has its own thermostat, making it possible to heat and cool only the rooms being used at any given time.
Installing a air ductless HVAC system is much simpler and more affordable than traditional systems, as there is no requirement for ductwork. A certified technician will install 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 to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the wiring, control wires and refrigerant. Based on the size of your home, you may need several indoor units to ensure the best comfort.
Ductless systems are environmentally friendly because of their high energy efficiency. They do not add to the amount of waste generated by the typical household, and they drastically reduce the carbon footprint of a home.
Ductless systems come with some of the highest SEER ratings in the market which allows homeowners to save a significant amount on their heating and cooling costs. Comparing to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s top performing ductless systems can give up to 50 percent savings on monthly energy bills.
A ductless system requires little maintenance to ensure it’s operating at its peak. Typically, you’ll have to clean the air filters at least once per month, and we recommend scheduling regular professional services. This will ensure that your ductless system functions effectively and efficiently for long time to come. In fact, a ductless system can last for as long as 25 years if it is maintained with regular care and maintenance. Our experienced technicians are happy to answer any questions you may have about ductless heating or cooling.
Maintenance
Ductless systems offer a variety of advantages in maintenance that aren’t accessible with traditional HVAC equipment. This includes energy efficiency, which can lead to lower operating costs and environmental impact. The absence of ductwork ensures that indoor air quality remains high. The ductwork that is typical to an HVAC system is prone to contamination by dirt, grime and bacterial. 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 less expensive than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to the fact that ductwork installation is labor-intensive and can be expensive, especially for older homes with ceilings and walls that aren’t insulated. This expense can be reduced by the non-invasive nature of the ductless HVAC installation process. It involves mounting indoor and outdoor units.
As compared to window-style air conditioners ductless HVAC systems are much quieter. The systems’ smaller physical size contributes to this, along with their extremely efficient operation. They also require much less maintenance, with only the occasional need to change the air filter, and a yearly inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also a great option for retrofits or new construction. They can be substituted for less efficient space heaters and window air conditioners and radiant heating systems. They can also be used in condos, apartments, and mobile homes, where ductwork isn’t feasible.
If you’re looking for a heating and cooling solution that is able to handle the northern climate, think about upgrading to a ductless system.
