No need for ductwork
Ductless air conditioners are an excellent option for homes without ductwork, or for rooms where traditional ductwork might be difficult to access. A ductless AC system, in contrast to central AC systems which use an attic unit and ducts for distribution of air throughout the home, employs individual indoor units connected to a condenser outside. These units can be mounted on walls or the ceiling, allowing for flexibility in both aesthetic and practical.
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 method to reduce the amount of energy consumption and keep your home at the ideal temperature for everyone who lives there.
They are also easy to maintain. The evaporator and compressor units can be cleaned by washing the filters and using the defroster regularly. Regular maintenance by an expert will ensure that the system functions as smoothly and efficiently as possible for the duration of time it can.
Many people utilize ductless systems to supplement their central AC systems. They are great for adding an extra space to a house and for converting garages or basement into a living space and also for boosting the temperature in rooms that’s often too hot or too cold.
Another advantage of ductless systems is that they are much more cost-effective than modern, high efficiency, ducted systems. These systems can save you hundreds per year with the ENERGY STAR certification. These systems are more efficient when they are combined with a heating system that cools and heats the house.

Energy efficient
One of the main advantages of ductless systems over conventional cooling and heating units is that they’re much more efficient in energy use. These ENERGY STAR-certified systems are designed to reduce your energy consumption and save you money. They do this by actively cooling the areas of your house that are occupied. These systems are ideal for homes that have a new garage or addition, or rooms that are difficult to cool and heat with ductwork.
Ductless systems use alternating current electricity to power their equipment which converts it into direct current which is directed through the air handlers within your home. The air handlers use a fraction of power to cool a home with ductwork, because they don’t have to work as hard in order to regulate temperatures and move air. This allows the system to attain higher SEER ratings than a conventional AC system that doesn’t come with a ductless unit.
Furthermore, it takes approximately 3 inches of space on your floors, walls and ceilings to run the necessary lines from an outdoor unit to every indoor air handler. This is less than the typical 12 inches of ducting that is required by a HVAC system.
Each air handler in your home works independently of the others, which means you can cool your bedrooms, while leaving the living space at a warmer temperature, and saving energy by not cooling it. Each air handler has its own thermostat programmable that allows you to fine-tune the temperature based on each family member’s preferences.
As the economy continues to grow Many people are thinking about adding a home gym, bedroom, or other home improvement. If you are planning to add a home gym, bedroom, or any other addition to your house, your existing heating and cooling system may be overworked trying to regulate the temperature in a different 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 stop your home from becoming overheated or cooled. This can help you save on your energy costs and also reduce your carbon footprint.
Easy to Install

The installer needs to drill a small hole in the wall to accommodate the pipe. The ductless system is attached to the house by using clamps that secure the piping and affixed to the wall.
The cooling power of a single ductless unit can range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTUs. This means that it can cool rooms of up to 400 square feet or more. If you have a large home with multiple stories you might require more than one ductless unit to cool your entire home.
Certain ductless systems have multiple indoor units connected to the outdoor condenser unit and each unit is equipped with its own thermostat so the occupants can choose the temperature they would like to have in their individual room. This is a great method to achieve cooling zones in your home or business.

The ductless unit is similar to a heat pump however, it does not have air ducts. The indoor unit, also called an air handler, blows air over the evaporator coils, which are filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant sucks up heat from the air, then it is ejected outside via small holes in your wall or ceiling. The air handler is mounted in a variety of places such as an attic, garage, or even a home addition.
Ductless mini-split systems can work as standalone units or combined to provide whole-home cooling. They’re ideal for retrofitting or adding air conditioning to an existing residence and also for new construction or renovations that do not have the space or budget for air ducts. They’re also a great choice for homes with low ceilings such as a garage or attic.
A single-zone ductless system is typically enough to cool a small dwelling and connects only one indoor air handler with the outdoor unit. Multi-zone systems connect up 8 indoor air handlers to one condenser. This lets you individually control the temperature of each room, which is particularly suitable for homes with a large number of rooms.
