The Benefits of a Ductless System

A ductless heat pump or air conditioner typically consists of a wall-mounted indoor unit as well as an outdoor compressor. In most cases it’s used in situations where a window AC unit or baseboard heating is considered, such as new additions to a home. Unlike window units, ductless units only require a small hole to be drilled into the wall, making them less vulnerable to air leakage and security issues. They’re also less audible and visible.

Your Ductless System is Energy-Efficient

When comparing ductless to other cooling and heating options, they seem to be the most energy-efficient choice. In the average home, you could be losing around 25 percent or more of your energy to ductwork. Traditional HVAC compressors start-up and shut down when not in use. Ductless systems have invert-driven compressors, which speed up and slow down based on the needs of the system.

Ideal Situations for a Ductless System

Depending on the home, ductless systems can make sense in a array of applications, including whole-house heating and cooling. There are certain situations where ductless has a clear advantage:

  • New additions: bonus rooms, sunrooms, garage apartments, mancaves. The main benefit of ductless is that it will be properly sized for the new space and won’t steal air from other rooms or overload your HVAC system.
  • Multiple needs under one roof. In situations where different temperatures are required in different rooms, ductless is ideal. With a ductless system, you can create independent temperature zones in each room of your home.
  • Adding AC to a home with no existing ductwork. Choosing ductless is cheaper than adding ductwork to an existing home.
