Santa Rosa Ductless AC Systems

How Ductless AC Works

Central heating and cooling technologies use a network of ducts to deliver conditioned air throughout your home. On the other hand, ductless mini-split systems feature multiple indoor air handlers connected to an outside unit via refrigerant lines. This configuration allows you to control the local temperature anywhere you have an indoor unit. It is important to note that ductless air conditioners offer heating, too. They rely on heat pump technologies, which transfer heat from one place to another to effectively cool or warm rooms.

The Benefits of Ductless Mini-Split Systems

Ductless systems offer several advantages. First and foremost, they provide zoned comfort. A typical outdoor unit can support up to eight indoor air handlers. With this kind of flexibility, you can meet your household’s varying temperature preferences and avoid cooling or heating rooms that do not need it. 

Other benefits of ductless air conditioners include the following:

• Energy efficiency: Conditioned air often escapes from ducts. This problem can “account for more than 30% of energy consumption for air conditioning,” according to the Department of Energy. With a ductless system, you can avoid costly energy losses. 
• Easy installation: Does your home have rooms without existing ductwork? Installing a ductless system allows you to skip the hassle and cost of adding ducts. 
• Cost savings: Ductless technologies are highly efficient. This, combined with zoning capabilities, can result in savings on your utility bills.
