If you’re looking for a cooling option that offers more than the traditional split unit air conditioning, ductless AC systems represent the obvious upgrade path for most people here in College Station.
The team here at Summit Air Conditioning & Heating strives to be a beacon of reassurance for those looking for a great ductless air conditioner company. We’ve provided our customers with mini-split systems since the day we opened, and we’re happy to walk you through the process!
The easiest way to explain how ductless works is by contrasting it against the standard system installed in most homes today.
A standard ‘split-unit’ air conditioning system functions by utilizing a single centralized indoor air handler-evaporator that’s connected to a single outdoor condenser via a system of ductwork.
Ductless — or mini-split systems — utilize a series of up to four independent air-handler/evaporator combos that are directly installed into various zones of the home.
This allows a greater degree of control and a list of benefits that we’ll discuss below.
Customers often find it easy to consider a mini-split AC installation due to the associated benefits that come with this upgrade.
When you invest in a ductless system, you can expect the following benefits.
In a traditional residential air conditioning system, the ductwork can account for up to a 30% loss in overall efficiency. Mini-split systems resolve this issue by getting rid of the ductwork entirely.
This feature combined with multiple air handlers creates a system that can heat and cool far more efficiently than their split-system counterparts.
When utilized correctly, homeowners who go ductless can expect up to a 30% decrease in their utility bills on an annual basis.
Thanks to multiple air handlers, you can enjoy the ability to set the temperature at each zone. This allows for greater levels of climate control for every area of your home and the ability to utilize your system far more efficiently.
Thanks to their highly efficient components, ductless heat pumps are capable of reversing their operation during winter months to provide a reliable source of heating.
While capable of collecting unwanted heat from the inside and dispelling it outdoors, mini-splits can do the reverse. These systems can also act as heat pumps and utilize small amounts of ambient heat in the outdoor air to provide enough energy to heat your home.
Ductless systems also offer flexibility. The air handlers come in various configurations, allowing us to provide heating and cooling solutions for unique home layouts. We can provide heating and cooling solutions for any home!
Not only is ductwork a problem for overall efficiency, but it also creates many of the indoor air quality issues associated with traditional systems. By eliminating ducts, homeowners can enjoy an overall improved level of air quality at home which can have lasting long-term health benefits.
You might not even be aware of how loud your traditional system is until you experience the near-silent operation of a ductless system.
