Ductless Air Conditioning: a Simple, Energy-Efficient Cooling Concept

|

Ductless air conditioning systems are generating a great deal of attention in the $71 billion heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry. Because ductless air conditioners consist of an outdoor compressor — the part that makes noise — and a number of indoor evaporators that expel cool air, they’re seen as an energy-efficient alternative and one of the best heating and cooling systems available today.

But just why are ductless air conditioning systems so beneficial to homeowners? To see how one of these air conditioners could better your home’s ability to stay cool, here are three ways these heating and air conditioning units can improve the energy efficiency within your home:

Ductless air conditioners don’t lose energy
As stated before, ductless air conditioning is incredibly energy efficient. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, ductless air conditioning will not lose cooled air through improper sealing or through conduction. This can save as much as 30% on your energy bills every month. Because of their energy-efficient properties, you should absolutely consider investing in a ductless air conditioning system once your current HVAC unit reaches the end of its 12- to 15-year lifespan.

Ductless air conditioning can be zoned
If you have a room in your house that doesn’t need to be kept as cool as others, you can easily zone your cooling with ductless air conditioning. Each air handler has its own programmable thermostat, allowing you to regulate the temperature within each individual room rather than one temperature for the entire house.

Ductless air conditioning is easy to install
Did you know that an improper heating and cooling installation can cause your energy costs to go up by a shocking 30%? With ductless air conditioning installations, however, you’ll never have to worry about this. Installing a ductless air conditioning system only requires a small hole to be drilled in the exterior wall, making them incredibly easy to install and set up.
