Flexible Cooling: How Ductless Air Conditioners Work
June 26, 2013
Ductless air conditioning mini split systems are versatile HVAC products that deliver cool air directly into interiors instead of first routing the air through a series of air ducts. Originally designed for homes that can't accommodate the installation of ductwork, ductless air conditioning systems have become popular alternatives for homeowners seeking money-saving options for home cooling too. Duggan's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning® is proud to offer quality ductless mini split products that keep your home cool and comfortable while lowering your energy bills.
Ductless System Components
Eliminating the ductwork middle man, ductless systems feature indoor air handlers with built-in evaporators that connect directly to the compressor and condenser housed in a single outdoor unit. Slender pipes carrying refrigerant and electrical conduits run from the outdoor unit to multiple air handlers throughout your home. The sleek and inconspicuous indoor wall units boast energy efficient performance and whisper-quiet operation. If you're on the hunt for a new air conditioner that will operate at different temperatures in various rooms in your home, a ductless AC system is ideal. The system comes with remote controls equipped with an easy-to-use interface that lets you control temperatures from any room in your home. Ductless systems are perfect when you add cooling for rooms like enclosed porches, attics, and garages too.
Money-Saving Systems
More than 20% of the air that travels through conventional ductwork is lost to leaks and gaps before it reaches your living spaces, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Ductless systems save energy and money by eliminating waste. Equipped with energy-saving features like variable-speed compressors that operate at high speed only when cooling demands are high, the system lowers your energy bills while delivering an enhanced level of comfort. Motion sensors also detect when rooms are empty for further savings.
Fun Fact: Ductless systems operate up to 40% more efficiently than conventional central air conditioning systems.
