Check Out 4 Reasons Ductless ACs Are More Popular

It’s true: Ductless air conditioners are getting more and more popular. But why? There are actually a lot of advantages to these systems. Read on to learn about four of those reasons.

1. Flexible solutions are finally here

A traditional air conditioning system forces air through ducts but ductless systems deliver cool air directly into the zones you install them into. They’re a cost-effective option to replace inefficient window units and to prevent the cooling loss that occurs when you’re forcing air through long, inefficient ducts.

2. The savings are significant

Of course, one of the main reasons that more and more people are considering ductless heating and cooling systems is because they result in significant savings. They require less power, since they are smaller than traditional air conditioning systems, and since the cool air is delivered directly into the room it’s needed in, you don’t lose anything in efficiency. You’re also able to create zones in your home, which means you don’t have to cool rooms you’re not using. As an added bonus, there may be tax credits and / or utility rebates available when you install a ductless system.

3. Air quality improves

Many homeowners are shocked to discover that indoor air quality is often worse that outdoor air quality. Those who have a traditional air conditioning system must call on the professionals to clean their air ducts on a regular basis, but even when they’re clean they can still harbor dusts and allergens. On the other hand, a ductless system includes several filtration systems that can significantly reduce allergens, dust, pollen, and bacteria.

4. Carbon footprints are reduced

Ductless cooling systems offer significantly better energy efficiency and follow ENERGY STAR guidelines. As a result, they’re much more efficient than the minimum standards set by the government. It’s true that this improved efficiency leads to saving money but it also lowers the overall carbon output – which is great for the environment.

It doesn’t end there though. Ductless systems use a refrigerant, R410A, that’s famous for its no ozone depletion potential, which means that over the lifecycle of a ductless unit, the impact on the environment will be less than that of a traditional unit.
