What Is a Ductless Heating and Air Conditioning System?
A ductless heating and air conditioning system is a type of HVAC system that offers heating and/or cooling to one or more rooms, without connective ductwork. The HVAC unit consists of both an indoor unit that is installed on your wall or ceiling as well as a smaller unit that is typically installed just outside your home. This way, each individual room is connected to an outdoor compressor that works on heating/cooling your room. These ductless HVAC systems are available in both single-zone and multi-zone variants.
Advantages of Using a Ductless HVAC System
A ductless heating and air conditioning system offers a couple of benefits compared to a conventional central HVAC system. These benefits include:
- It is easier to install: Since you don’t need to create a ductwork system here, the ductless HVAC system becomes very easy to install on your property. The time taken and work involved are also significantly lesser compared to a centralized HVAC unit. This type of ductless HVAC system is also affordable and perfect for people on a budget.
- It allows you to control the temperature of each individual room: In a centralized HVAC system, the temperature throughout the house or office space is controlled by the centralized unit. This can make it difficult to manage the temperature requirements of different rooms in the property. But a ductless heating and air conditioning system comes with zoning capabilities, allowing you to set the heating and cooling needs of different zones, as per your bespoke needs.
- It is highly energy efficient: Did you know that a house expends anywhere between 20%-30% of energy in HVAC ductwork? This is because air often leaks out of the ductwork over time, especially due to intense, consistent use. By choosing to install a ductless heating and cooling system in your property, you reduce your energy consumption and become more eco-friendly and energy efficient. The ductless HVAC system uses an inverter-driven compressor that slows down or speeds up based on the needs of the system. This saves a lot of energy in the long run and also makes your HVAC system more budget-friendly too.
- It maintains the aesthetic of your property: Ductwork requires significant renovations to the space where the HVAC system is being installed. In comparison, you only need to drill a tiny hole in the wall where you are mounting your ductless heating and air conditioning system, to connect the internal unit to the external unit. This ensures that your house or office space’s aesthetics aren’t compromised. You can install an inconspicuous HVAC unit on the wall that fits right into your décor.
- It doesn’t require too much maintenance and repairs: Finally, since your new ductless heating and air conditioning system doesn’t have a duct system, you also do not have too much maintenance and repair needs to worry about. The internal and external units are the only components that may require occasional servicing, which our team at Galmiche & Sons can help you with. When the time comes, we can also help you install a new ductless heating and air conditioning system on your property at competitive prices.
