No Ductwork Needed
Ductless air conditioning is an excellent option for homes that do not have ductwork in place or for rooms that would be difficult to serve with traditional ducting. A ductless AC system, unlike central AC systems that rely on a unit in the attic and ducts for air distribution throughout the house, utilizes individual indoor units linked to an outside condenser. These units can be placed on the wall or ceiling and offer a range of aesthetics and functionality.
In addition, it is easier to install, a ductless system is more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems will help you save energy by heating and cooling the rooms that are actually in use. This is a great way to reduce the amount of waste and maintain your home at the ideal temperature for all occupants.
These systems are also easy to maintain. The compressor and evaporator units can be cleaned by washing the filters and running a defroster periodically. Regular maintenance by a technician will ensure that the system operates as efficiently and smoothly as it can for as long as it is able to.
Many people prefer to use ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They are perfect to add an extra space to a house or for converting a garage or basement into a living space, and for increasing the temperature of a room that is usually too hot or cold.
Another benefit of a ductless system is that they are much more cost-effective than modern high-efficiency, high-efficiency duct systems.

Energy Efficient
One of the primary reasons to choose ductless systems over conventional heating and cooling units is that they’re much more energy efficient. These ENERGY STAR-qualified systems are designed to cut down on your energy usage and save you money. They accomplish this by actively cooling the areas of your house that are used. This is ideal for homes with a new garage or addition, or that have rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with ductwork.
Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it to direct current, which is then directed through the air handlers in your home. The air handlers themselves run on a fraction of the power needed to cool a home that has ductwork as they do not need to work as hard to move and regulate temperatures. This allows for a higher SEER rating than a conventional AC unit that does not have a ductless system.
It takes only 3 inches to connect the lines from an outdoor unit to an indoor air handler. This is less than the standard 12 inches of ducting required by a HVAC system.
Each air handler functions independently and can therefore cool your bedrooms and keep the living area at an elevated temperature. This will help save energy because it’s not chilled. Each air handler also has its own programmable thermostat, which can be used to adjust the temperature according to the preferences of each family member.
Many people are considering building a home gym or bedroom to their home as the economy continues to grow. If you add a gym at home, a bedroom or another accessory to your home, your existing heating and cooling system may be overworked trying to regulate the temperature in another part of your home that is not served by ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will allow you to regulate the temperature on your own and prevent your home from being overheated or cooled. This can reduce your energy costs and also your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Installing ductless air conditioners is easy, especially if you work with a professional HVAC firm. These units are usually mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer will only need to drill a small hole in the drywall for the piping. The ductless system is then connected to the house using clamps to secure the piping, and then fixed to the wall.
A single ductless unit is able to cool rooms up 400 square feet. If you own a huge house with multiple stories, you might require more than one ductless unit in order to cool the entire house.

It is extremely beneficial to to control the temperature of each area of your house, especially when you have several members of your household who are accustomed to different temperatures.

The ductless unit is the same as a heat-pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes called an air handler blows air on the evaporator coils that are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, and then it is ejected outside via tiny holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be placed in a variety places, including an attic, a home addition, or garage.
Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units or combined to cool the entire home. They are perfect to retrofit an existing house or adding air conditioning and also for renovations or new construction where there is no space or budget for air ducts. They are also a great choice for homes with low ceilings like garages or attics.
A single-zone ductless system is usually enough to cool a small dwelling, and it connects just one indoor air handler to the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems can connect up to eight indoor air handlers with a single condenser. This allows you to control the temperature of each space in a way that is particularly beneficial for homes with large spaces.
