You may be considering ductless heating and cooling as an option for replacing your HVAC system. You may also have seen a ductless mini-split in operation and wish to know about the benefits. Here are five reasons to convert to ductless in Yorktown, VA.
1. Easy to Install
A traditional ducted system takes a long time to install and disrupts everyone’s routine. A mini-split doesn’t require ducts, and it can be up and running in as little as a day, depending on how many units you need.
2. Energy Efficiency
According to Energy Star, the air ducts in a typical HVAC system lose 20% to 30% of the energy that moves through them. Since a mini-split has no ducts, you don’t have to worry about this, so you can reduce your carbon footprint. Ductless systems use a refrigerant called R410A, which causes zero ozone depletion.
3. Improves Indoor Air Quality
Traditional HVAC systems have air ducts that trap dust and other allergens that lower your indoor air quality. A mini-split has multistage filtration that removes more allergens, pollen, dust and other indoor pollutants. This greatly helps those who suffer from allergies, asthma and other respiratory conditions.
4. Quieter Operation
When it comes to relaxing or carrying on a conversation in person, online or over the phone, the last thing you want to do is compete with a noisy HVAC system. A ductless mini-split operates far more quietly, and its compressor goes outside instead of inside.
5. Save on Utility Bills
When you have a system with greater energy efficiency, you save more money. Since a ductless mini-split uses less power to provide a higher comfort level, it’s efficient and economical. A ductless mini-split also allows you to create zones, which means you don’t have to cool or heat rooms you don’t use.
