The Surprising Advantages of Ductless Air Conditioning

If you’re not familiar with the ins and outs of ductless air conditioning systems then you may be surprised by some of the many benefits. While some consumers are most familiar with traditional air conditioning systems, there are many good reasons that ductless systems are becoming more and more popular.

Ductless systems can be installed on a room to room basis

With a traditional system, if you want to cool one room you have to cool the entire house or building. This is not the case with a ductless system. You can cool or heat each room when you need it. This single benefit actually has several associated benefits:

• Lower energy bills. When you’re only cooling the rooms that are actually being used, you won’t be paying to cool your entire home. This can result in significant savings.
• The needs of different people can be more easily met. With a traditional system, you set it at a single temperature and everyone in the home or building must learn to live with it. On the other hand, a ductless system allows for different temperatures in different rooms.
• You can respond more easily to individual rooms. Those who live in older homes know that some rooms need more heating and cooling than others do. Gone are the days of freezing in one room while another leaves you sweating. A ductless system provides exceptional control.

Installation is less intrusive and expensive

Installing a ducted unit can be hugely expensive. In fact, in some cases it’s more expensive than the cost of the appliance itself. This is not the case with ductless units. Though there is some cost involved, and it should generally be installed by an HVAC professional, it’s also true that it’s typically much more affordable than a ducted system. Note that the cost of installation of either option depends highly on the design of a home or office.

You get tons of convenience

There are many convenient features of ductless systems. As noted above, you’re able to control cooling and heating differently in different areas of your home, but that’s not the only convenience. You can also use a remote control, which allows you to change the temperature from anywhere you’re within eyesight of the unit.

As you can see, there are many advantages to using a ductless system. If you’re interested in learning more about your options, contact AC-World today.
