The methods of air conditioning homes have changed drastically. From ice blocks to air ducts, we’ve made great strides. Now, more and more air conditioning companies are being asked if they perform ductless air conditioning installation. We took a step back to make a great leap forward in home comfort. Air conditioning is no longer bound by air ducts. We don’t know what technologies will be around several years down the road but, as of right now, ductless air conditioning is the future of air conditioning.
Ductless air conditioning gives home owners the perfect middle ground between unsightly window units and the expensive installations, repairs and replacements of traditional systems with air ducts. Ductless mini split systems have a non-intrusive set up. Only a two-inch hole is made to connect the outdoor compressor to the indoor air handler. Unlike a window unit, you can attach several indoor air handlers to one outdoor compressor. This allows each room to be set to a custom temperature, saving hot and cold-blooded housemates from an unending battle over the thermostat.
Ductless mini splits also make it easy and convenient to save energy. Each room has its own air handler, and therefore, can be turned off when the room is not in use. If your roommate is gone for the month, or a child goes away to college, their room doesn’t need to be cooled or heated. Simply set their thermostat to off, and that’s one less room adding to the energy bill.
Another perk to going ductless is that, while there needs to be an air handler in each room, they’re easily hidden away. They have customizable, sleek designs and can be installed in line with crown molding, high and out of sight or even on the ceiling. You don’t need to be able to reach your air handler to control it. Ductless systems can be operated by remote control, and programmed with your schedule to cool your home efficiently.
If you’re thinking about a new air conditioning system, consider a ductless system. Their modern perks and non-intrusive design truly make them the future of air conditioning.
