Homeowners considering their HVAC options have likely wondered about the pros and cons of a ductless A/C system. This flexible set-up provides individualized cooling and heating in each room without ductwork, offering an affordable, convenient solution for many properties. Consider these factors when determining whether a ductless A/C system is the best option.
Flexible Installation
Unlike traditional duct systems, which can take weeks to install, a ductless system consists of just two components: an outdoor compressor connected by a conduit to an indoor control unit. They can be installed in most types of apartments and homes and are often operational on the same day.
Outstanding Efficiency
With a ductless system, units can be installed in each room where temperature control is desired. These units exceed ENERGY STAR guidelines and are designed to have less of an environmental impact than traditional HVAC systems. In fact, ENERGY STAR estimates that ductless A/C units can cut cooling costs by 30 percent compared to conventional room air conditioners.
Improved Air Quality
Impurities in the air such as dust, dirt, and mold can cause both short and long-term health issues such as allergies and asthma. With traditional systems, these pollutants thrive in the ducts and are released into the air even with regular system maintenance. Ductless systems are designed with advanced filtration to keep these particles from entering the home environment.
Affordable Operation
Ductless systems are smaller than traditional systems and require less power to operate. They also deliver hot or cold air directly into the room where it's needed, maintaining efficiency while lowering costs. Some homeowners may also be eligible for tax credits or other incentives for installing energy-efficient technology. Rebates and other programs are available at the local, state, and federal levels.
Ductless systems can be used in most types of dwellings, but work best in new construction additions, larger homes in which many rooms go unused, for families who want independent temperature zones, and in homes without existing ductwork.
