You depend on HVAC to keep your Centerville, OH home comfortable year-round. However, installing a central ducted HVAC system isn’t your only option. Here are four of the most important benefits of another type: ductless HVAC systems.
1. High Energy Efficiency
Did you know that ductwork can impose up to a 30% efficiency penalty on your HVAC system? It happens as conditioned air escapes through leaks and convective losses. Ductless systems avoid those losses, leading to higher energy efficiency.
2. Zoned Heating and Cooling
Ductless HVAC systems offer zoned heating and cooling by default. They combine a centralized outdoor unit with one or more indoor air handlers. Each air handler features independent temperature and fan controls.
With a ductless system, you gain precise control over the temperature in your home. You can even completely turn off individual air handlers in rooms you’re not using.
3. Quiet While Running
Another benefit offered by ductless HVAC systems is quiet operation. Most mini-splits make no more than 35 dB of noise indoors while running. That’s barely louder than someone whispering within the same room as you.
4. Simplified Installation
Finally, installing a ductless mini-split HVAC is a straightforward, simple process. Our professionals mount standard mini-split air handlers that require little more than a small hole drilled through each installation wall. That’s enough to permit the passage of refrigerant, drainage and electrical lines, on which each depends.
Outside your home, our professionals will install your mini-split outdoor unit similar to a central AC outdoor unit. The difference is that most mini-splits feature much narrower outdoor units with side-facing fans. You can even mount one on an exterior wall, instead of situating it on a concrete pad.
