Ductless Heating and Cooling
Ductless heating and air conditioning gives homeowners the chance to have the highest level of comfort for their home. These systems can be customized to provide comfort zones, cost savings and more.
Ductless systems consist of an outdoor unit and indoor air handlers that heat and cool individual rooms in your home. They replace baseboard electric heating systems as well as window air conditioners and space heaters.
Customized Temperatures
Ductless systems are great for homeowners who need more control over their cooling and heating. They do not require the use of ductwork and can be placed in areas like sunrooms or garages. Mini-split systems are extremely energy efficient and could help you save money on your utility bills.
They make use of an outdoor unit of a smaller size to generate heat by drawing it from the outside air, and then transferring the heat to insides to keep you warm during winter. In summer, they are able to act as air conditioners, removing heat from the air inside your home. Ductless systems are quieter than traditional ones and the air-handling units include built-in filters to improve your home’s indoor air quality.
You can adjust your temperature settings on a room-by-room basis by using ductless heating and cooling that is ideal for families who have different preferences. Each indoor air-handling unit is equipped with a separate thermostat, which allows you to set it according to your family’s needs and lifestyle. This flexibility lets every member of your family to experience their ideal living environment.
They are more energy efficient than traditional furnaces and air conditioners since they don’t have to heat or cool the entire house in one go. They can save energy because they don’t need to work as hard in order to keep an ideal temperature.
The absence of ducts can reduce energy loss and can lower your heating and cooling bills. Your ductless system will be even more efficient if it is the most efficient model that utilizes environmentally friendly refrigeration.
Ductless systems are more affordable and efficient than traditional HVAC systems. They are also more quiet and simpler for installers to install. They can be mounted on ceilings and walls and their smaller size makes them less noticeable than ductwork. They can also be erected more easily in new construction or renovations than conventional systems. With their easy-to use smart controls that allow you to monitor your energy consumption and adjust your settings remotely using your smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems stand out in their design and offer higher energy efficiency than forced air systems. They include an outdoor unit along with one or more indoor air handlers all connected with flexible piping that transports refrigerant and electricity to produce heat transfer. The absence of ductwork minimizes waste and thermal leakage associated with duct systems. This allows for greater energy efficiency and cost-savings. These systems are also environmentally friendly because they don’t emit harmful emissions or generate carbon dioxide.
A ductless system can offer zones of comfort that can meet your needs to the fullest extent which means you don’t need to sacrifice energy efficiency in order to achieve the temperature you desire. For example, you can cool the master bedroom down to 65 degrees comfortably without overcooling other rooms in the house. This saves energy and keeps the entire family content.
The same applies to heating your home. You can set the temperature of your basement, home office, or any other room that has an air handler to a more moderate temperature for comfort and a consistent temperature throughout your home. You don’t have to worry about wasting energy when you leave an area for a few minutes, because you can switch on the heat with your remote.
A ductless system can be used to heat or cool small spaces or an additional room. It will also allow you to save money throughout the year. It can even replace an air conditioner that is portable and reduce your energy bills by providing heating and cooling for your space.
A ductless system could be an excellent replacement for space heaters, preventing you from having to manage the use of several air conditioning units during the summer and space heaters during the winter. Plus, it provides a more streamlined look in your space and improves the quality of indoor air. It’s no surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly well-known.
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems were designed to cool and heat areas without ductwork or in areas where the cost of ductwork installation is not included in a renovation or addition. A ductless system is ideal in remodeled rooms in older homes and home additions, sunrooms, and even a renovated basement. It’s also great for kiosks at offices or in residential spaces that are not being used. Each indoor unit in a multi-zone or single-zone solution has its individual thermostat. This allows you to chill and heat the rooms that are in use at any time.
The installation of a ductless heating and cooling system is much simpler and less expensive than a traditional HVAC system since there is no need for ductwork. A certified technician will mount the outdoor unit on the concrete pad outside your home and connect it to the air handlers inside your home. The installers will run a conduit from the indoor units to the outdoor unit which houses the control wiring, the equipment, and refrigerant lines. Depending on the size of your house there may be multiple indoor units that be required to be set up to ensure maximum comfort.
Ductless systems are environmentally friendly because of their high energy efficiency. They don’t contribute to the waste generated by a typical household and they reduce carbon footprint significantly.
Ductless systems boast some of the highest SEER rating available in the industry. This allows homeowners to save money on heating and cooling costs. Comparing to traditional split system SEER ratings of 14-17, today’s best performing ductless systems can offer up to 50 percent savings on energy bills each month.
To keep it working at its best, a ductless unit requires minimal maintenance. In general, you’ll need to clean the air filters once a month, and we suggest scheduling regular professional maintenance. This will ensure that your ductless system functions effectively and efficiently for the years to come. A ductless system will last for up to 25years if it is properly maintenance and care. Our technicians are on hand to answer any queries you may have regarding ductless heating and air conditioning.
Maintenance
Ductless systems can provide a range of maintenance benefits that traditional HVAC equipment is not able to match. 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 of a traditional HVAC system is susceptible to contamination by grime, dirt and bacteria. It can also be contaminated by pet dander or rodent droppings. In contrast, ductless systems’ inconspicuous units are easy to maintain and can be cleaned with a simple swipe of a clean cloth.
The installation of ductless HVAC systems is also less expensive than traditional HVAC systems. This is due to the fact that ductwork installation is labor intensive and expensive, particularly for older homes that have uninsulated walls and ceilings. The non-invasive nature of the installation process, which involves mounting both outdoor and indoor units eliminates this cost and can be completed in one day.
When comparing ductless HVAC systems to window-style systems, they’re much quieter. The system’s smaller size contributes to this, along with their extremely efficient operation. They require less maintenance as well and require only one or two air filters that need to be replaced and a once-a-year inspection.
Ductless heat pumps are also a good option for retrofits or new construction. They can replace less-efficient space heaters windows air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can be installed in mobile homes or apartments, as well as condos where ductwork isn’t feasible.
You should consider upgrading to a HVAC system that is ductless if you are looking for an option that can withstand the harsh northern climate. A professional can analyze the requirements of your house and help you choose the right ductless systems for your home, and ensure that it is installed correctly. Contact us to start.
