Ductless Systems

Ductless systems, also known as mini-split systems, offer a versatile and energy-efficient option for both heating and cooling individual rooms or areas in your home. These systems operate by transferring heat between the indoor unit and the outdoor environment, providing efficient temperature control without the need for ductwork. During colder months, the system extracts heat from the outside air and distributes it indoors, even at relatively low temperatures, while in warmer months, it reverses the process to remove heat from inside your home, keeping it cool. Ductless systems also allow for zoned comfort, enabling you to adjust temperatures independently in different rooms, which can lead to energy savings and personalized climate control.

Pros

  • Energy efficient due to lack of duct losses

  • Provides zoned heating and cooling, allowing individualized temperature control

  • Easy to install, especially in homes without existing ductwork

  • Quiet operation compared to traditional HVAC systems

  • Flexible placement options for indoor units (wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, floor)

  • Improved indoor air quality with multi-stage filtration options

  • Can be used for heating and cooling, offering year-round comfort

  • Minimal disruption to home structure during installation

Cons

  • Higher upfront cost compared to traditional central HVAC systems

  • Aesthetic concerns due to visible indoor units on walls or ceilings

  • May require multiple units for whole-house coverage, increasing installation complexity and cost

  • Maintenance can be more frequent, including cleaning of filters and occasional servicing of units

  • Outdoor unit noise, though generally low, may be noticeable depending on placement

  • Limited capacity for very large homes or spaces compared to central HVAC systems

Installations & Replacements

When it comes to choosing a new ductless system, whether it’s for a brand new addition to your home, changing out your old one, or you need air conditioning in a home without ductwork there are multiple factors to consider. With the help of an expert you can pick a unit that best fits your needs while keeping your home cool during summer heats!

  • When determining if a ductless system is energy efficient we look at the units;

    • Energy Star rating: rating used by the EPA to approve the unit meets their energy efficiency standards

    • SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio): rating used measure the average efficiency of a unit over an entire cooling season

    • Refrigerant type used by unit

    • HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor): rating used to measure the heating efficiency during typical heating season

  • Choosing the right size unit is integral to assuring your home gets cooled properly and your unit has a long life span. If sizing is incorrect these are some issues that can occur:

    • Poor humidity control

    • Increased wear and tear of unit

    • High energy bills

    • Inability to cool properly

    • Short cycling (constantly turning on and off)

  • Some extra features you can consider when choosing your ductless system are:

    • Advanced air filtration filters

    • Smart thermostats

    • Surge protector

    • Add more than one indoor unit

    • Humidifiers

    • Dehumidifiers

    • And more.
