Summer is almost here, and that means that for some of us it’s time to consider installing a new air conditioning system. It can be tempting to just go with inertia and install the same kind of system that you were using before, especially considering how daunting it can be to navigate the expansive air conditioning market. However, you should still take a look at the advantages that a ductless air conditioner can offer. Read on for more information.
What is a Ductless AC?
A ductless air conditioner is, as you might have already guessed, an air conditioner that doesn’t use ducts. Instead, an individual air handler is installed in each room. This air handler operates much the same way as the inside part of a central air conditioner, circulating air throughout the room and siphoning heat from it in the process. Each air handler has its own thermostat, allowing it to operate independently from the rest of the system. Up to four indoor air handlers can be connected to a single outdoor unit.
Advantages of Ductless Air Conditioners
A ductless air conditioner is technically a heat pump, which means that it contains a part called the reversing valve. This part allows the ductless system to reverse the flow of refrigerant through its system, so that it can offer both heating and cooling functions. This is a massive advantage over more traditional climate control systems, both in terms of space and money savings.
Ductless air conditioning systems also give you quite a bit more control over how much cool air each part of your home receives. No more wasting energy on empty rooms, or fighting with the other members of your household over what the ideal temperature should be. Ductless air conditioners make homes both more comfortable and more energy efficient.
