Why Choose a Ductless Air Conditioning Unit?
A ductless air conditioning system is the best option for cooling homes with no ductwork. The HVAC technicians at Hurley & David will help you find the right size for your home and will take care of all installation and maintenance work.
Ductless systems are also perfect for the addition of new rooms to your home or older homes without ductwork. This type of air conditioning is energy efficient and energy efficient.
No Need for Ductwork
Ductless air conditioners are a great option for homes without ductwork, or in rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. In contrast to central AC systems that rely on a single unit in an attic and ducts to circulate air throughout the house, a ductless system utilizes individual indoor blower units connected to an outdoor condenser. These units can be placed on the wall or ceiling and offer a range of aesthetics and functionality.
A ductless system isn’t only easier to install but also more efficient. ENERGY STAR certified ductless systems can help you reduce your energy consumption by heating and cooling the rooms that are in use. This is a great method to cut down on energy consumption and keep your home at a perfect temperature for everyone who lives there.
These systems are very easy to maintain. You can easily clean the evaporator units as well as compressors by washing the filters and running defrosters regularly. In addition regular maintenance performed by a trained technician will ensure that the system runs smoothly and effectively for as long as is feasible.
Many people choose to utilize ductless systems instead of their traditional central AC systems. They can be used to create an extra space or convert a garage basement into living space or boost the temperature of a room which is often too hot or cold.
A ductless system has the advantage of being much more cost-effective than the newer high-efficiency ducted systems. The Energy STAR certification for these systems could save hundreds of dollars every year. These systems are also more efficient when combined with a heat pump, which heats and cools the house.
When deciding if you think a air-conditioning HVAC system is the best option for your needs, it’s important to consult with a reputable HVAC company.

Energy Efficient
The fact that ductless systems are more efficient than conventional cooling and heating systems is one of the main reasons to go with them. These ENERGY STAR certified systems are made to cut down on energy consumption and help you save money by cooling only the areas of your house which are in use. This is ideal for homes with a brand new garage or an addition or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat using ductwork.
Ductless systems utilize alternating current electricity to power their equipment, which converts it to direct current, which is then fed through individual air handlers inside your home. The air handlers themselves operate with a smaller amount of power to cool a home that has ductwork as they don’t need to work as hard to move and control temperatures. This allows for a greater SEER rating than an ordinary AC unit that does not include a ductless unit.
It takes just 3 inches to run the lines from an outdoor unit up to each indoor air handler. This is much smaller than the 12 inches of ducting that is used by the typical HVAC system.
Each air handler operates independently, so you can cool your bedrooms while keeping the living space at the same temperature. This will save energy since it’s not cooled. Each air handler has its own temperature control, meaning you can tailor it to the preferences of the family members.
Many people are considering adding a home gym or bedroom to their homes as the economy continues to grow. If you decide to add a gym at home, a bedroom or another accessory to your home the heating and cooling system could be overwhelmed trying to regulate the temperature in a different area of your home without ductwork. Installing a mini split ductless system in these areas will let you manage the temperature in a way that is independent and prevent your home from becoming over-cooled or overheated. This will aid in reducing your energy bills as well as reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install
Ductless air conditioners are fairly easy to install, especially when you are working with an HVAC professional. These units are usually mounted high on an exterior wall. The installer only needs to drill a small hole into the drywall to allow for pipes. The ductless system is then joined to the house using clamps to secure the piping, and then fixed to the wall.
The cooling power of a single ductless system can vary from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can easily cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. 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 that are 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 create a true cooling zone at your office or home.
It is very useful to be able to control the temperature in each zone of your home, particularly if you have multiple people living with you who prefer different temperatures. With a ductless air conditioning system it is possible to cool only the areas that are used and save money by not cooling empty rooms.

Our technicians can create an annual maintenance schedule that is suitable for your ductless unit as well as the area it serves. Our ductless maintenance manual will teach you more about how to maintain your system.
Save Money
Ductless AC systems are typically cheaper to run than traditional AC systems. They also avoid the potential loss of energy caused by leaky ductwork, which could drastically reduce the efficiency of your system. This can help keep your energy bills down throughout the year. You can further reduce your energy consumption by selecting a ENERGY STAR qualified system. A ductless system with an increased SEER rating will be more efficient, which means it will use less energy to cool your home.
Another way a ductless system can help you save money is by offering zoned comfort. By using a remote control you can choose different temperature settings for each room in your house. This allows you to keep bedrooms and the living room at different temperatures without affecting other rooms of your house. This feature can be particularly beneficial if you have children or pets who spend much of their time in a single room.
The ductless system functions the same as a heat-pump but without the air ducts. The indoor unit, sometimes known as an air handler blows air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, and then it’s removed outside through small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler can be mounted in a variety of locations, including an attic, a home addition or garage.
Mini-split ductless systems are used as standalone units or in combination to provide cooling for the entire home. They are ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing house or renovations or new construction that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great option for homes with low ceilings, like an attic conversion or garage.
A single-zone ductless system is usually 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 with one condenser. This lets you control the temperatures of each room independently, which is especially beneficial for homes with large rooms.
