New ductless air conditioners provide efficient alternatives to traditional HVAC systems, however, they might be unsuitable for some homes or commercial properties. Before making a decision about your new air conditioner, check to see if a ductless air conditioner fits your situation.
New Construction Or Remodelling
Lack Of Existing Ductwork
If you are currently using window units or space heaters, then your home does not have existing ducts in place, and a ductless air conditioner is a great value if you are planning to sell your property in the future. Installing a ducted HVAC system would require extensive remodelling to make room for the ducts, whereas a ductless system needs only a small hole in the exterior wall for the conduit tubing.
Desire For More Control
Multi-Family Housing
Noise Reduction
Lower Monthly Expenses
A ductless air conditioner uses much less energy than a central HVAC unit, or even a window mounted air conditioner. Many home-owners see utility costs drop dramatically with an upgrade to an energy efficient air conditioning system. Ductless air conditioners do have a higher initial cost than a central HVAC unit, but with the money you save on monthly utilities and the reduced cost of maintenance, you will make up the difference in a couple of years.
When you find yourself looking for an air conditioner upgrade, carefully check all of your options and consider ductless air conditioners for your home or business. They are suitable for almost every residential and commercial property, so make sure to discuss all ductless options with your HVAC contractor before the work begins.
