Ductless Systems

Ductless Air Conditioning Systems

Mini-split systems, or ductless air conditioning, are a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to standard central air conditioning. They are used not just when space is restricted but also because they are more convenient than traditional central heating and cooling systems.

Because most ductless systems only condition one or two zones, you have more control over the air distribution than standard systems. Moreover, unlike traditional systems that cool the entire house or office, these systems can service specific areas of the home or business. So, use them to keep the garage, work shed, or added-on rooms comfortable without major renovations.

A ductless system has two main parts. Components include the outside condenser and the inner air handler. Indoor components are commonly mounted on walls or suspended from ceilings. The air handler is connected to the outdoor compressor via a small tube that runs through the wall or ceiling.

How Ductless Systems Work

Mini-split air conditioners and heaters employ heat pumps to provide both heating and cooling for a room. There is no air loss through duct leakage when using an energy-efficient mini-split system. We estimate that many homeowners lose up to a third of their hot or cool air through their ductwork. The most challenging part is determining the appropriate size unit for your requirements.

Using a sizing chart, you can determine how many BTUs you’ll require for that particular room to be ductless. A ductless system needs 300 to 350 square feet of cooling space, which equates to a cooling capability of 8,000 BTUs per hour. A second unit may be required in a large room with a blocky wall design or alcoves. High humidity, extreme hot or cold temperatures, and ceiling height are all factors to consider.

A ductless HVAC system does not require central or local vents to distribute air movement. An electric blower fan can control numerous wall-mounted devices to move cooled or heated refrigerant about the room as needed. A ductless mini-split system is ideal for homes or businesses with existing ductwork. Instead of heating or cooling the entire building, these systems let you heat or cool a specific area. So, if you have rooms you don’t use, it makes sense to install ductless HVAC systems and zone your home.

Outside and indoor units are connected via a conduit that holds the refrigerant, drain, and power tubes and lines. To cool or heat a specific zone, simply turn on the indoor unit for that zone.

Benefits of Ductless Systems

In new houses, ductless systems are becoming increasingly popular. Compared to a ductless system, traditional central heating and cooling systems offer less control and fewer energy savings. However, those aren’t the only advantages of opting for systems requiring no ductwork.

Because ductless air conditioning systems now offer remote control, they are incredibly convenient to use compared to standard air conditioning systems, which require manual adjustments of each thermostat.

Installation is completed in a short amount of time. Each family member can customize the temperature in their bedroom, office, or other space. Ductless air conditioning systems are also less expensive than expanding the ductwork of your existing HVAC system. They do not have ductwork to accumulate dirt, dust, and debris.

In addition, ductless systems are substantially quieter than standard systems. So, if you’re tired of listening to your heating or cooling system crank away, consider a smooth-running, quiet mini-split, especially in your bedroom. These systems can help you stay comfortable and get a good night’s sleep without all the noise of traditional systems.

Considering that ductless systems are designed to be compact, they are particularly beneficial in locations with limited space, such as apartments, attics, basements, townhomes, and room additions.
