Get Your Ductless Equipment Installed By A Pro

Ductless Energy Efficiency

Mini-splits are one of the most energy-efficient systems in the market. Inverter-driven mini-splits cut down the energy wastes as it uses variable speed in heating and cooling. Ductless systems also have intelligently-designed heat exchangers and advanced control algorithms that are guaranteed to save you 30 percent or more on energy costs.

HVAC Zoning

Another benefit of ductless units is that they allow you the option to have zones. Individual air handlers in each zone give you flexibility and control over your home’s environment. You can switch on the mini-split only in the rooms you are occupying. You can also manage the temperature in each zone and customize them according to each of your family members’ preferences.

Single-Zone

Single zones consist of one outdoor unit and one indoor unit. This type of system is often used as a supplemental system for those spaces that have under-serving HVAC units. It is also ideal for cooling or heating rooms that were previously unconditioned. Unfortunately, if you choose to have a single-zone system, you cannot convert it into a multi-zone system later.

Multi-Zone

A multi-zone system consists of one outdoor unit and multiple indoor air handlers. A single outdoor compressor can accommodate as much as eight indoor units. This type of zoning lets you have a combination of efficiency, comfort, and control that no other HVAC equipment in the market has been able to match.

Each indoor unit functions independently from the others, letting you and your family enjoy customized home comfort in each zone. For instance, you can switch off the units in unoccupied zones. You can also enjoy a cooler environment in your bedroom while the children can have a warmer temperature in the living room.

Types Of Indoor Units

There are several types of indoor units that can accommodate your home comfort needs. Keep in mind that the one you choose should be as per your aesthetic preference and the layout of your home as well. Some of these are:

• Wall-Mounted – This type is the most commonly used and affordable option out of all its counterparts. The air handler is usually mounted at least six feet high up the wall. It is a compact and efficient system that offers a variety of features and comes in many designs.
• Floor-Mounted – A floor-mounted mini-split is for when you do not have enough wall space to accommodate a wall-mounted system. It is mounted near the bottom of the wall near the floor. It is perfect for when the room you need to condition has a slanted wall and ceiling like an attic room.
• Ceiling Cassette – A ceiling cassette is installed into the ceiling, usually in the middle. The bulk of the mechanics is hidden behind the ceiling. Only a grille is visible from the room, and conditioned air is released on all four sides. It also allows you to control the direction of the airflow and close some of the vents when needed.
• Ceiling Suspended – As the name suggests, a ceiling suspended system is hanging from the ceiling. It can blend harmoniously into your living space and can cool a larger space. It is often used to cool an office area.
