A Flexible Solution
Ductless heating and cooling systems deliver air directly into different areas in your home. They are comprised of a small outdoor unit and one or more indoor units that require nothing more than mounting capabilities and access to electricity. Mini split systems and multi-split systems, or split-ductless heating and cooling systems offer home owners a way to replace inefficient window air conditioning units, space heaters and electric baseboard heaters to improve temperature control throughout your home. Ductless systems can even be fit for homes that currently use forced-air systems.
They Save You Money
One of the biggest reasons why homeowners switch to ductless heating and cooling is overall cost savings. In recent years, utility costs across the country have skyrocketed. When a home’s temperature depends upon an inefficient system, monthly bills can quickly climb out of control. Ductless heating and air systems operate on less power – they are smaller than traditional forced-air systems. Because they supply temperature-controlled air that is delivered directly into a room, there is no loss in efficiency. Multi-split systems also allow homeowners to create “zones” in their home, which means they no longer have to cool or heat rooms that aren’t occupied.
They Are Quick and Easy to Install
Ductless systems limit the interruption of your families daily living activities during the install, and depending upon the number of indoor and outdoor units required, can be up and running in as little as one day.
Mini-split systems run on small pipes that require a mere three-inch hole. That means homeowners don’t have to worry about rebuilding walls or ceilings around duct-work and there is no loss of precious square footage.
Ductless Air Conditioning Lowers Your Carbon Footprint
The small size of a ductless cooling system and its zoning capabilities allows for greater energy efficiency. Ductless heating and air conditioning systems follow ENERGY STAR guidelines, which makes these systems far more energy efficient than the minimum standards used in traditional duct systems. Improved efficiency saves money, of course, but it also helps reduce your total carbon output.
Ductless air conditioning and heating systems are energy efficient, environmentally friendly and completely customizable. They offer homeowners the ability to cool and heat specific zones of their home to the exact temperature they desire, providing consistent and exceptional year-round comfort.
More Affordable
Traditional heating and cooling units can run inefficiently for a number of reasons, costing you money in lost energy because they naturally consume more power. Also, air can be lost through gaps in the duct work before it ever reaches its intended destination, illustrating yet another example of lost energy you pay for.
Ductless systems are smaller thus they use less power. The temperature-controlled air of a ductless system is delivered directly into a room instead of throughout the entire home all at once. This means that you don’t heat or cool rooms that aren’t being used. Translation: less needed power = less money spent!
They Improve Indoor Air Quality
Did you know that traditional duct systems lower the quality of the indoor air of your homes indoor air below the quality of outdoor air? Duct work collects dust, allergens, bacteria, and other contaminants and the forced air blows air directly through these yucky’s and nasty’s. The ducts must be professionally cleaned and even after a traditional system has been cleaned particles are left behind and consequently these unhealthy fragments are scattered into the air throughout your home.
Ductless air conditioning and heating systems, on the other hand, do have have ducts to collect dust, allergens, bacteria, and other contaminants. They utilize multi-stage filtration which drastically reduces particulates form contaminating your homes indoor air quality.
