Consider a Ductless System This Summer
admin • May 25, 2020

Ductless split systems are increasing in popularity each day, and there are many reasons for this. Also referred to as mini-splits, ductless split systems help avoid many of the problems associated with systems that come with ducts.

A ductless system is a split system that allows homeowners to better regulate the temperature of each room in the home while reducing the loss of energy typically caused by inefficient ductwork. It heats or cools specific areas of your home without employing any ductwork. Let’s now take a deeper look into the workings of a ductless split system.

The Function of a Ductless Split System—How It Works

Ductless mini splits are heat pumps, meaning that they can both heat and cool homes (though there are cooling-only models available, most homeowners choose the heat pump). They evaporate refrigerant indoors in order to remove heat from the air in the summer. They release that heat outside. In the winter, they heat homes by reversing this process. Now, heat is transferred indoors via the reversed refrigerant cycle. This makes for incredible heating efficiency.

To ensure more energy-efficient usage, the internal air-handling units are placed strategically throughout your home. Many areas of your home can be equipped with air-handling units, including the ceilings and walls. This can be hugely beneficial, as it allows necessary equipment to be placed in locations that are not in the way.

Furthermore, you no longer have to bear the noise typically associated with heating and cooling units, as the condensing unit of the ductless split system is placed outside. With so many benefits on offer, you shouldn’t waste any time to call air conditioning services in Indianapolis for ductless system installation.

The Available Styles and Applications of Ductless Split System

Ductless split systems come in several different styles. An option quite popular today are wall-mounted units. However, they are not the only ductless system available. You will also find ceiling cassettes and ceiling-mounted units. 

Regardless of which one you choose, you should have your ductless system installed by professional air conditioning contractors in Indianapolis. That way, you’ll be sure to enjoy the full benefits of the ductless mini split, including:

  • Greater efficiency
  • Greater comfort
  • Greater convenience.

While a standard forced air heating and/or air conditioning system can be zoned to better suit your home and comfort preferences, you don’t have to worry about extra equipment when you go ductless. Ductless mini splits’ use of independent blower units means that it’s already got the zone control aspect of heating and cooling sorted out! Stop wasting energy heating and cooling unoccupied spaces.
