Ductless air conditioning or mini-split systems are the evolved version of traditional HVAC systems and come with many benefits. They are wonderfully efficient and maintain a comfortable and consistent room temperature. In addition, they offer the option to create independent temperatures in different rooms, and the individual room air controllers are discreet and perfect for smaller spaces.

Let's discuss the advantages of ductless air conditioning.

Customizable air conditioning

A ductless air conditioning system can simultaneously accommodate those who like hot and cold environments. Its zonal temperature feature controls the temperature using the different units around the house, and each unit can be set to the desired room temperature.

Overall they'll offer a more comfortable temperature throughout the home as they distribute cold and warm air more efficiently than traditional AC units.

Enhances indoor air quality

A ductless AC system does not require ducts to distribute air. Therefore it can eliminate the issue of contaminated air indoors. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, it prevents dust, dirt, and debris from accumulating in the home. Its integrated multi-layer filtration will reduce the number of pollutants and allergens entering and circulating the home. The ductless AC ensures the indoor air quality is kept healthy, clean, and safe. This type of system is ideal if anyone in the home suffers from allergies or asthma. In addition, it acts as an excellent dehumidifier.

Energy efficient

Ductless AC models are also exceedingly energy-efficient. The inverter-driven compressors analyze the temperature and conditions, then speed up or slow down. On the other hand, traditional HVAC compressors are not adaptable and will completely shut off. Once that happens, a lot of energy is consumed to restart the compressor.

An ENERGY STAR ductless model will save on heating and cooling costs, and one may also qualify for a federal tax credit and local utility incentives.

Saves space

Another superior feature of the ductless air conditioning system is its compact size. The window unit of a traditional HVAC system can be prominent and unsightly, with a bulky and complex central system. It takes up space in the attic or basement and requires extensive ductwork.

On the other hand, the ductless system comprises the indoor air handler and the outdoor condenser or heat pump. The outdoor unit can connect to up to four indoor air handlers in each room. The air handler units require a tiny hole drilled into the wall. This makes them less vulnerable to security problems and air leakage. In addition to their discreet look, they're equipped with noise-reduction technology.

Go with a good HVAC contractor

To reap the benefits of a ductless HVAC unit, consider contacting an experienced and reputable HVAC contractor. They'll offer expert advice and professional installation.
