Exploring Ductless Air Conditioning

The popularity of ductless air conditioners continues to grow as consumers search for alternatives to window units and conventional central air conditioning systems. Sometimes referred to as “mini splits,” ductless technology provides a cost effective alternative for applications where the use of ducted A/C equipment would be impractical.
Ductless air conditioners have many advantages when compared to traditional central air conditioning systems. Air handlers deliver conditioned air directly into the room without passing through ductwork. By positioning the air handler directly at the delivery point, ductless systems increase efficiency by eliminating friction loss, leakage and design deficiencies. Additionally, the placement of individual fan coil units throughout the building creates independent cooling zones that can be adjusted through individual thermostats to meet the lifestyle demands of the occupants. Zone cooling allows for higher temperature settings in unoccupied rooms, which can result in substantial energy savings.
Ductless split systems provide quiet comfort, enhanced cooling options, and superior energy efficiency ratings that can result in significant savings in annual utility costs. Over time, dirt and debris accumulates in the interior of an air distribution system. When moisture is added through condensation, biological agents have the nutrients they need to propagate. Mold and fungi can degrade indoor air quality and aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems. Window units are almost impossible to completely seal, which allows outdoor contaminants to enter the livable area in a home or office.
The evaporator coil in a ductless system is accessible and easy to clean. The absence of ductwork deprives harmful organisms of the environment they need to flourish. Eliminating the dirt and debris that accumulates in ductwork can help keep a home cleaner, healthier, and smelling fresh.
Ductless split systems are unique in that the most recent manufactured products include inverter technology. When a room has a light cooling load, a variable speed motor allows the compressor to run more slowly, which reduces energy costs. When the room has a higher cooling demand, the motor signals the compressor to run at a higher speed. In addition to saving energy, the unit is far more responsive and quick to provide a measured amount of conditioned air into the living space.
