They’re also easier to install in new construction homes or renovations than a traditional system would be. With their simple-to-use smart controls you’ll be able track your energy consumption and change your settings remotely using your smartphone or computer.
Energy Efficiency
Ductless systems feature a unique design that offers more energy efficiency than forced-air systems. They include an outdoor unit along with one or more indoor air handlers all connected with flexible piping that carries refrigerant and electricity to create heat transfer. The absence of ductwork prevents thermal leakage as well as other sources of waste associated with duct systems, allowing for superior energy efficiency and cost savings. Additionally as these systems do not make use of combustible fuels to operate and produce no harmful emissions or carbon dioxide and are therefore an environmentally friendly choice for your home or business.
A ductless system will provide zones of comfort that can satisfy your individual needs which means you don’t need to sacrifice energy efficiency to get the ideal temperature for your air. For instance, you can cool the master bedroom to a comfortable 65 degrees without overcooling other rooms in the house, which saves energy and keeps the whole family happy.
It’s the same with heating your home. You can set the basement or home office or any other space with an air handler to a more moderate temperature to provide an even and comfortable temperature throughout your home. Also, you don’t have to be concerned about using up energy when you leave the room for a few minutes because you can switch on the heating in that area using your remote control.

A ductless system is also an excellent alternative to space heaters. This will spare you from having multiple air conditioners in summer, and space heaters in the winter. It also improves indoor air quality and gives your home a a more streamlined appearance. It’s not a surprise that ductless systems are becoming increasingly popular.
Easy Installation
Mini-split ductless systems are made to heat and cool areas without ductwork or in locations where the expense of installing ductwork is not included in a new or renovated addition. A ductless system works well in remodeled rooms in older homes, sunrooms, home additions, and basements that have been renovated. It’s also great for kiosks at offices or in areas that are not in use. Each indoor unit in a multi-zone or single-zone solution comes with its own thermostat. This allows you to chill and heat the rooms you use at any time.
The installation of a ductless HVAC system is easier and more affordable than traditional systems since there is no requirement for ductwork. A certified technician will install the outdoor unit outside your home on an asphalt pad and connect it to your air handlers. Installers will run conduits to connect the indoor units to the outdoor unit. The outdoor unit houses the equipment, control wires, and refrigerant. Based on the size of your home, you may need several indoor units in order to attain the best comfort.
Because of their energy efficiency Due to their energy efficiency, ductless systems are eco-friendly. They do not increase the amount of waste generated by a typical household and they can drastically reduce the carbon footprint of a home.
Ductless systems come with some of the highest SEER ratings in the industry and allow homeowners to make substantial savings on their cooling and heating costs. The most efficient ductless systems available today can save as much as 50% on energy costs when compared to split SEER ratings between 14-17.
To keep it running at its best, a ductless unit requires minimal maintenance. It is typical to clean your air filters at least once every week, and we recommend regular professional service. This will ensure that your ductless system operates efficiently and effectively for the years to come. In fact a ductless system could last for up to 25 years with regular maintenance and care.

Maintenance
Ductless systems provide a variety of benefits for maintenance that traditional HVAC equipment cannot beat. Efficiency in energy is among the benefits, as it reduces operating expenses and has a positive effect on the environment. The absence of ductwork allows to maintain a high indoor air quality. The ductwork that is typical to an HVAC system is prone to contamination by grime, dirt and bacteria. It can also be contaminated by pet dander or rodent droppings. The ductless units, which are not visible, systems are easy to clean and maintain.
The installation of ductless HVAC systems is also less expensive than traditional HVAC systems. It is because ductwork is labor-intensive, and installation could be costly, particularly in older homes that do not have insulation ceilings and walls. The noninvasive nature of a ductless HVAC system’s installation process, which involves mounting both outdoor and indoor units removes the need for this expense and can be completed in a single day.
When comparing ductless HVAC systems to window-type systems, they’re much quieter. The systems’ smaller physical dimensions contribute to this, as does their incredibly efficient operation. They also require much less maintenance, with just the occasional need to replace an air filter or conduct a yearly inspection.
Ductless heat pump systems are also a good option for retrofits or new construction. They can replace less efficient air conditioners, space heaters and radiant heating systems. They can be utilized in mobile homes or apartments, as well as condos where ductwork isn’t feasible.
