Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is the ideal option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you find the right size for your home and handle all of the installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems can 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 need for ductwork
Ductless air conditioners are an excellent alternative for homes that do not have ductwork, or for rooms where traditional ductwork would be difficult to access. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems that rely on a unit in the attic and ducts for air distribution throughout the home, employs separate indoor units that are connected to an outside condenser. These units can be mounted on the walls or ceiling, allowing for flexibility in both aesthetics and functional.
A ductless system isn’t only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR qualified ductless systems can assist you in reducing your energy costs by heating and cooling only the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to cut down on waste 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 and compressors by cleaning the filters and operating defrosters periodically. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system is operating as efficiently and smoothly as it is possible for as long as it is able to.
Many people opt to use ductless systems as an alternative to their traditional central AC systems. They are great for adding an extra room to a home, for converting a garage or basement into living space and for boosting the temperature in rooms that’s often too hot or cold.
Another benefit of a ductless system is that they are more cost effective than newer high-efficiency, ductless systems. The ENERGY STAR certification for these systems could save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems can be more efficient with a heat pump, which also cools and heats your home.

Energy efficient
One of the primary reasons to opt for ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re much more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are designed to decrease energy use and help you save money by proactively cooling the areas of your house that are used. These systems are perfect for homes that have an addition or garage that is new or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is then transformed into direct current and then fed to the air handlers in your home. The air handlers consume a fraction of power to cool an entire home using ductwork because they don’t need to work as hard in order to regulate temperatures and move air. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not include a ductless unit.
Furthermore, it takes approximately 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run all the necessary lines from the outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting that is required by HVAC systems.
Each air handler operates independently which means you can cool your bedrooms and keep the living space at an elevated temperature. This will help save energy since it’s not cooled. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, so you can fine-tune it to suit the preferences of the family members.
As the economy continues to improve, many people are thinking about the possibility of adding a gym to their home or bedroom home improvement. If you are planning to add a gym at home, a bedroom or other addition to your house the heating and cooling system may be overworked trying to control the temperature in an area of your home without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system could be installed in these spaces to give you a more independent temperature control, and aid in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This can reduce your energy bills as well as your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are easy to install, especially when you are working 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 in the drywall for the pipe. The ductless system then gets joined to the house clamps that hold the piping before fixing it to the wall.
The cooling capacity of a single ductless system can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs, which means it is able to cool rooms up to 400 square feet or more. It’s possible that you’ll need more than one ductless unit to cool a large-sized house with multiple floors.
Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its thermostat, which means that the inhabitants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to get true cooling zoning at your office or home.
It is extremely useful to be able to regulate the temperature in each zone of your house, especially if you have multiple family members who have different preferences for temperature. With an air conditioning system that is ductless you can only cool those rooms that are in use and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Our technicians can design a schedule of maintenance that is right for your ductless unit and the region it serves. Our ductless maintenance manual will help you learn more about how to maintain your system.
Save Money
Ductless air conditioning systems are generally more affordable to operate than traditional AC systems. They also prevent any loss of energy due to leaks in the ductwork. This can decrease the effectiveness of your system. This will help reduce your energy costs throughout the year. You can further minimize your energy use by choosing a ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system that has an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, meaning it will require less energy to cool your home.
Another way that a ductless system can save you money is through providing zoned comfort. Using a remote control, you can set different temperature settings for each room of your home. This lets you keep bedrooms and the living room at separate temperatures without affecting other rooms in your house. This feature is especially useful if your children or pets spend most of their time in one room.
The ductless unit is similar to a heat pump, but without the air ducts. The indoor unit (also called an air handler) is able to blow air over evaporator coils which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, and then it’s removed outside through a small hole in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is placed in a variety places, including an attic, home addition or garage.
Mini-split ductless systems are utilized as stand-alone units, or combined to provide cooling for the entire house. They are perfect to retrofit an existing house or adding air conditioning, and 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, like in an attic conversion or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small home and connects one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to a single condenser. This lets you independently regulate the temperature in each room, which is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
