Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
A ductless air conditioning system is the ideal option for cooling homes with no ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you choose the ideal size for your home and will take care of all installation and maintenance tasks.
Ductless systems are great for the addition of new rooms to your home or older ones without ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy-efficient and efficient.
No need for ductwork
Ductless air conditioning is an excellent solution for homes that do not have ductwork in place or for rooms that are difficult to service with traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems, which rely on a unit in the attic and ducts for air distribution throughout the house, utilizes individual indoor units connected to the outside condenser. These units can be mounted on walls or the ceiling, offering versatility for both aesthetics and functional.
In addition to being simpler to install and set up, a ductless system can be an efficient choice. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can aid in saving energy by heating and cooling the rooms that are being used. This is a great way to reduce waste and maintain the ideal temperature inside your home for all its inhabitants.
These systems are also easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be easily cleaned by cleaning the filters and running a defroster periodically. Additionally, regular maintenance by a skilled technician will ensure the system is running smoothly and efficiently for as long as it is possible.
Many people opt to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to add an extra space or convert a garage basement to living space, or to increase the temperature of a room which is usually too cold or hot.
A ductless system has the advantage of being more affordable than newer high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year, thanks to the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are also more efficient when they are combined with a heating system, which heats and cools the house.

Energy Efficient
One of the main reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to cut down on energy consumption and save you money by cooling only the areas of your home that are used. This is ideal for homes with a brand new garage or addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems make use of alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it into direct current which is delivered to the individual air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves operate using a small less power than what is needed to cool a whole home with ductwork because they don’t require as much energy to move and control temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that doesn’t include a ductless unit.
It takes only 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by the typical HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home works independently from the others, which means you can cool your bedrooms, while leaving the living space at a warmer temperature, and conserving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own temperature control, so you can adjust it to suit the preferences of the family members.
As the economy continues to improve Many people are contemplating the possibility of adding a gym to their home, bedroom, or other addition to their house. If you decide to do this, your current heating and cooling system might be overwhelmed as you try to control temperatures in an additional area of your house without ductwork. A mini-split ductless system can be put in these spaces to provide you with a separate temperature control, and assist your home in avoiding unnecessary heating or cooling. This can help you save money on your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is easy, especially if you have an HVAC company that is professional. They are typically mounted on the outside of a wall. The installer will only need to drill a small hole in the drywall for the pipe. The ductless system is attached to the home using clamps to secure the piping.
A single ductless unit can cool rooms as large as 400 square feet. If you own a huge home with multiple stories, you may need to add more than one ductless unit in order to cool your entire home.
Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit comes with its own thermostat so the residents can set the temperature they would like to have in their own room. This is a great way to create cooling zones in your home or business.
It is very useful to to control the temperature in each zone of your home, especially if you have multiple members of your household who prefer different temperatures. You can save money by using the ductless system by cooling only the rooms that are used.

Save Money
Ductless AC systems are generally more affordable to run than traditional AC systems. They also reduce the risk of energy loss caused by leaky ductwork, which can greatly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. This will help keep your energy costs lower throughout the year long. You can further minimize your energy usage by selecting a ENERGY STAR certified system. A ductless system with higher SEER ratings will be more efficient, which means that it will require less energy to cool your home.
Another way in which a ductless system can save you money is by providing zones of comfort. You can make use of a remote control in order to set different temperatures for each area of your home. You can maintain your living room and bedroom at different temperatures, without having an impact on other rooms in 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 works in the same way as a heat pump but without air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes known as an air handler is able to blow air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, is then released outside through tiny holes in your ceiling or wall. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of places, including garages, attics, or even a home addition.
Ductless mini-split systems can work as standalone units or be combined to provide a whole-home cooling system. They are ideal for retrofitting an old home or incorporating air conditioning and also for renovations or new construction in which there isn’t enough space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings like in a converted attic 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 can connect up to eight indoor air handlers using one condenser. This allows you to control the temperatures of each room in a way that is especially helpful for large homes.
