What is Ductless Air Conditioning – A Brief Guide

Published by Webmaster

Are you a homeowner or business owner looking for an energy-efficient alternative to central air conditioning? Ductless mini split air conditioners offer personalized comfort with less installation hassle and reduced energy consumption. These units disperse cool air throughout the house without the need for extensive ductwork. Read this guide on ductless air conditioners so that you’re ready to make the switch.

What Is Ductless Air Conditioning?

Ductless air conditioning is an innovative cooling system that provides targeted cooling without extensive ductwork. These systems utilize an outdoor compressor unit that connects refrigerant lines to one or more indoor air-handling units. These ductless air conditioners provide quiet, unintrusive cooling in individual areas or rooms.

How Does a Ductless Air Conditioning System Work?

Ductless air conditioning is simple and efficient. The outdoor unit compresses and cools the refrigerant. This refrigerant channels through small conduits to different indoor units throughout the house or building. After the ductless mini-split unit draws in warm indoor air, the refrigerant cools it down and then releases it back into the room.

Is Ductless Air Conditioning Worth It?

Ductless air conditioning offers several compelling benefits, including:

  • Easy Installation and Maintenance: Ductless AC units are small, wall-mounted units. You don’t need to modify existing ductwork or add new ductwork to install them.

  • Energy Efficiency: Traditional ducted systems can lose up to 30% of their energy as air travels through the ductwork. Mini splits eliminate this issue.

  • Integrated Zoning: You can control the temperature in individual rooms without disrupting the cooling in another. There’s also less risk of duct contamination, ensuring cleaner air quality and a healthier indoor environment.

Overall, it is worth switching from traditional AC to ductless mini-split systems. They are efficient, cost-effective, and individually controlled. Consider replacing your central air conditioner with a ductless AC system.

Great experience all around. From the email and phone call, confirmations etc. The whole group made me feel comfortable and confident that I had chose the right company to do business with. My A/C unit was turning on and off and Elite sent out a very knowledgeable and courteous technician to check, tune up, and recharge my refrigerant. Steve the technician was knowledgeable and walked me through the entire process and was very upfront with what I needed and didn't need. All went well they were on time and got the job done in a timely and professional manner. Customer for life and will refer them gladly.

We contacted Elite HVACS on one of the hottest days of summer(we had no central air for 2weeks) and they sent some1 out same day to assess situation & decided to go with them for the work. I am happy to say that not only did we get the central air going but also replaced the heating unit which was old. Everyone we talked to from beginning to end were very professional, courteous and the work was very efficiently done. I would highly recommend this company.
