Ductless Air Conditioners

Ductless air conditioners, also known as a split system or mini-split systems, are a common cooling solution for apartment dwellers and homeowners with no ductwork in their homes. They provide cooling without the need for air ducts.

Myths Surrounding Ductless Air Conditioning

If you’re considering a ductless air conditioning system, don’t believe myths that ductless systems are noisy or that they only work for new homes.

A Ductless System Is Noisy

No one wants a loud HVAC system in their home or one that disturbs the neighbors. Since the earlier ductless systems on the market were noisy, homeowners might have misconceptions that today’s systems are the same.

Modern ductless systems are designed using noise-reduction technologies. The compressor in the outdoor unit should never be noisy enough to be a nuisance to anyone.

You will find that your new ductless air conditioner is a much-needed upgrade from traditional systems. They are known for their energy efficiency and superior performance. Even more, you can zone your home to target air conditioning exactly where and how it is needed.

Installation Is for New Homes Only

Installing a ductless HVAC system in a new home is a smart move. The technology lets you set temperature zones and save on utility bills. But ductless technology isn’t for new homes only; you can also install a ductless system to modernize your older home.

Ductless HVAC systems have an outdoor compressor unit connected to an indoor air unit. The indoor unit is usually installed high on a wall and connected to the outdoor unit via a narrow three-inch conduit. The system is unobtrusive, letting you target areas of your home that need more heating or cooling.

Benefits of Ductless Air Conditioners

Includes Fast Installation

Installing a traditional HVAC system is a complex and lengthy process if you need new ductwork. Installing a ductless air conditioner, on the other hand, is faster and means you won’t have the discomfort of being without cool air for long. For a small home with only a few rooms, a service technician can complete the job in as little as a day.

Ductless air conditioning systems are also a good choice if you’re building an addition to your home. They also often cost less than extending the ductwork of your central HVAC system to the new addition.

Offers Personalized Comfort

If your family squabbles over the temperature in your home, a ductless system can end the battle. With units in different areas of the house, it allows for zoned temperature control. Each member of the family can set the unit in the room they’re occupying at their desired temperature, thereby keeping everyone happy and comfortable.

Increases Energy Efficiency

Ductless air conditioning systems are more energy-efficient for the following reasons:

• You can switch off units in rooms that aren’t in use rather than continue to cool the whole house. This lowers your energy use and electric bill.
• Traditional HVAC systems sometimes develop leaks in the ductwork that reduce the efficiency of the unit. You avoid this problem entirely with a ductless air conditioning system.
• Most air conditioners use one- or two-speed compressors that cycle on and off to keep your home at the programmed temperature. As a result, they use more electricity. Ductless air conditioners use variable speed compressors that continuously make adjustments to keep the home at a consistent temperature. Since they don’t switch on and off throughout the day, they’re more energy-efficient.

Improves Indoor Air Quality

If anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma, a ductless air conditioning system is excellent for improving air quality in your home. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, a ductless system doesn’t have ductwork that allows dirt, dust and debris to accumulate. It incorporates multi-layer filtration that reduces the amount of pollutants, dust and allergens that enter your home, keeping it clean and healthy. It’s also better at dehumidifying the environment.

Saves Space

One of the nicest things about a ductless air conditioning system is its compact size. Window units are unsightly and obtrusive, and central HVAC systems are bulky and complex. They take up space in the basement or attic and require extensive ductwork.

A ductless system consists of two parts: the indoor air handler and the outdoor condenser/compressor or heat pump. One outdoor unit can connect to up to four indoor air handlers that are located on the wall in each room. For a more discreet solution, you can install a ceiling cassette instead of a wall unit.

Requires Minor Maintenance

To keep your ductless air conditioner in good condition, you’ll simply need to clean the filters, keep the vents of the wall unit clear, and tidy up around the outdoor unit to maintain airflow. You won’t have to worry about cleaning ductwork or sealing duct leaks like you do with traditional HVAC systems.

The advantage is that if you properly maintain your ductless air conditioner, it can last up to 20 years.
