Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
The ductless system is the best option for cooling homes that don’t have ductwork. Hurley & David HVAC technicians will help you choose the appropriate size system for your home and will manage the installation and maintenance.
Ductless systems can also be installed in older homes or new additions that don’t have ductwork. This type of air conditioner is effective and energy efficient.
No need for ductwork
Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes with no ductwork or rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to reach. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems, which rely on an attic unit and ducts for distribution of air throughout the house, utilizes separate indoor units that are connected to the outside condenser. The units can be positioned along walls or on the ceiling, offering versatility for both aesthetic and functionality.
A ductless system isn’t only more convenient to install, but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will save you money by heating and cooling the rooms that are actually in use. This is a great way to reduce waste and keep the ideal temperature in your home for all its occupants.
They are also easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units and compressors by cleaning the filters and running defrosters on a regular basis. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system is operating as efficiently and smoothly as it is possible for as long as it can.
Many people choose to utilize ductless systems in addition to their traditional central AC systems. They are great for adding an extra space to a house or for converting a garage or basement into a living space and for boosting the temperature in rooms that is often too hot or cold.
A ductless system has the benefit of being more affordable than the latest high-efficiency ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds each year, thanks to the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are more efficient when you add a heat pump, which also cools and heats your home.

Energy efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more energy-efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is one of the main reasons to choose them. These ENERGY STAR qualified systems are designed to decrease energy use and help you save money by actively cooling only the areas of your home that are occupied. This is ideal for homes with a brand new garage or addition, or that have rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with ductwork.
Ductless systems are powered by alternating current electricity, which is converted into direct current and fed to the air handlers of your home. The air handlers use only a small amount of power to cool an entire home, as they don’t have to perform as much work to regulate temperatures and move air. This means they can have a higher SEER rating than a traditional AC unit that doesn’t have a ductless unit.
It takes only 3 inches to connect the lines from the outdoor unit all the way to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting needed by a HVAC system.
Each air handler is independent, so you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living room at the same temperature. This can save energy since it’s not chilled. Each air handler has its own programmable temperature control, so you can fine-tune it to suit the preferences of the family members.
Many are thinking of adding a home gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to grow. If you add a home gym, bedroom, or any other accessory to your home your heating and air conditioning system may be overworked trying to control the temperature in an part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a ductless mini split system in these areas will let you manage the temperature in a way that is independent and keep your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This will lower your energy costs and your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is easy, especially if you work with a professional HVAC firm. These units are often installed high on an exterior wall, so the installer needs to drill a small hole in the drywall and feed the piping into. The ductless system is attached to the home using clamps to hold the piping.
The cooling power of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 BTUs to 24,000 BTUs, meaning it can easily cool rooms that are 400 square feet or more. It is possible to require more than one ductless system to cool a large home with many floors.
Some ductless systems come with several indoor units linked to the outdoor unit. Each unit has its own thermostat, so that the occupants of each room can select the temperature they prefer. This is a great way to achieve cooling zones in your business or home.
It is very useful to be able to control the temperature of each area of your home, especially when you have a lot of members of your household who have different preferences for temperature. You can save money by using the ductless system by cooling only rooms that are in use.

This could reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help keep your energy bills lower throughout the throughout the year. You can reduce your energy consumption by choosing a system that is ENERGY STAR certified. A ductless system that has a higher SEER rating will be more efficient, meaning it will require less energy to cool your home.
Another way in which a ductless system can save you money is through providing zoned comfort. You can use a remote control to set different temperatures for each room of your home. This lets you keep the living room and bedrooms at different temperatures, without affecting other rooms in your home. This feature is particularly useful when your pets or children spend most of their time in one room.
A ductless system operates similar to a heat pump, just without air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes 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 out through a small hole in your ceiling or wall. The air handler is placed in a variety locations, including an attic, a home addition or garage.
Mini-split ductless systems can be utilized as stand-alone units, or combined to provide cooling for the entire house. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing home, as well as new construction or renovations that don’t have the 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 small homes and connects just one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers via the use of a single condenser. This lets you control the temperature of each space in a way that is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
