A ductless air conditioning system is the best solution for cooling homes that do not have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you find the right size for your home and will take care of all of the installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems can also be used in older homes or new constructions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is energy efficient and energy efficient.
No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioning is a fantastic solution for homes that don’t have existing ductwork or for rooms that are difficult to serve by traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems which use a unit in the attic and ducts to distribute air throughout the house, utilizes individual indoor units connected to a condenser outside. These units can be placed on the ceiling or wall and provide a variety of aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system is not just easier to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will help you save energy by heating and cooling rooms that are in use. This is a great way to reduce the amount of energy consumption and keep your home at a perfect temperature for everyone in the.
These systems are also very easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters periodically. In addition regular maintenance by a trained technician will ensure the system runs smoothly and efficiently for as long as possible.
Many people choose ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They are a great way to add an extra room or convert a garage basement into living space or to increase the temperature of a room which is often too hot or cold.
Another benefit of the ductless system is that they are more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, ductless systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems can save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are even more efficient when combined with a heating system which cools and heats the home.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is an important reason to go with them. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to cut down on your energy consumption and save you money. They do this by actively cooling the areas of your home that are used. This is why they are ideal for homes with a new garage or an addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then transformed into direct current and fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves operate with a less power than what is needed to cool a whole home with ductwork because they do not need to work as hard to move and regulate temperatures. This enables the system to achieve higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t have a dedicated system that is ductless.
Additionally, it only takes around 3 inches on your walls, floors and ceilings to run the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting needed by a HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home works independently of the others and this means that you can cool the bedrooms, but leave the living space at a warmer temperature, and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own temperature control, which means you can adjust it to suit the preferences of each member of your family.
Many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to improve. When you do this, your current heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed as you try to regulate temperatures in an additional part of your home without ductwork. A ductless mini-split system can be installed in these spaces to give you independent temperature control, and aid in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This can lower your energy costs as well as your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are simple to install, particularly when you work with a professional HVAC company. They are typically mounted high on the wall of an exterior. The installer only needs to drill a small hole into the drywall to allow for pipe. The ductless system will be joined to the home with clamps to secure the piping.
The cooling power of a single ductless system can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can cool rooms up to 400 square feet or more. It is possible to require more than one ductless system to cool a large home with several floors.
Certain ductless systems have several indoor units that are connected to the outdoor condenser unit, and each unit comes with its own thermostat so that residents can set the temperature they want in their particular room. This is a great way to create cooling zones in your home or business.
It is extremely beneficial to be able to regulate the temperature in each zone of your home, particularly when you have several family members who are accustomed to different temperatures. You can save money with a ductless system by cooling only the rooms that are used.

Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are usually less expensive to operate than traditional AC systems. They also eliminate any energy loss that may be caused by leaks in ductwork. This could reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help to reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can reduce your energy usage by selecting a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system with an increase in SEER will be more efficient and require less energy.
A ductless system can save you money by offering comfort in zones. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each area of your home. This allows you to keep the living room and bedrooms at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms of your home. This feature is especially useful if your children or pets spend the majority of their time in a single room.
A ductless system functions in the same way as a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and then removed outside through a small opening in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is placed in a variety places, including an attic, a home addition or garage.
Ductless mini-split systems can work as standalone units or be combined to provide whole-home cooling. They are great to retrofit an existing house or adding air conditioning and also for renovations or new construction where there’s no room or budget to install air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings, such as garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless unit is typically enough to cool small homes and connects one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This lets you control the temperature of each room in a way that is especially helpful for large homes.
