Is Ductless AC Right for Your Home?

Is Ductless AC Right for Your Home?

There are no ifs ands or buts about it – everyone wants to stay cool in the summer. And while central air conditioning and window units are the most common, these cooling solutions might not be the best fit for your home. One energy efficient alternative you should consider are ductless mini split air conditioners.

How do they work?

Ductless air conditioners have an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler that is mounted to the wall. Also called a ductless heat pump, during the summer the unit takes the warm air from inside your home and deposits it outside to leave your home cool. These systems are a great option for older homes, additions or other areas of the home without ductwork, and homes with non-ducted heating systems like hot water or radiators.

How efficient are they?

One benefit of ductless air conditioners is their flexibility in zoning. Because they operate independently from other cooling systems in your home, you can more effectively manage the temperature. Also, they are not subject to energy loss that typically occurs from unmaintained ductwork in a central AC system.
