Make Ductless Cooling Your Spring Comfort Solution

When spring arrives and brings with it the warmer weather, many homeowners start to think about cooling their homes rather than heating them. Spring can also be a time when homeowners add on to their homes or renovate unused spaces. Often, these areas are outside the home’s central ductwork system, and that can make it difficult to cool them.

Often, homeowners turn to window air conditioning units for those spaces. Unfortunately, window AC systems can be loud, obtrusive, and often don’t offer the best energy efficiency possible. If you have a space in your home that needs cooling, but you don’t want to use window air conditioning, a ductless system may be the perfect choice.

What is ductless cooling?

Ductless cooling systems are air conditioning units that can keep a space in your home cool, and don’t require the installation of additional ductwork. Because of this, adding ductless to a space in your home requires minimal construction. Usually, all that is needed is a small hole drilled in the wall that connects the indoor and outdoor components. That means you’ll get home cooling quickly, and without a messy renovation.

What are some of the benefits of choosing ductless cooling?

As we mentioned above, one of the main benefits of choosing ductless cooling is the fact that there is no need to add ductwork. And, there are many additional reasons why ductless systems are an ideal choice, including:

·       Increased Energy Efficiency: Ductless systems are highly efficient, especially when compared to traditional window air conditioning units. According to Forbes.com, a standard ductless system will likely consume up to 40% less energy than a traditional window air conditioner.

·       Flexible Zoning Options: Ductless units allow you to create customized zones within your home. You can adjust the temperature independently for different rooms, ensuring personalized comfort. This zoning capability enhances energy efficiency and reduces wasted energy.

·       Improved Indoor Air Quality: Ductless systems don’t rely on ducts that can accumulate dust, allergens, and pollutants. As a result, they provide cleaner air and contribute to better indoor air quality. Plus, some models come with built-in air filters for additional purification.

·       Quiet Operation: Ductless units operate quietly, making them ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and other spaces where noise matters. Unlike traditional window air conditioning units, which can be very noisy and can allow outdoor noise inside, ductless systems minimize sound disruption.

·       Year-Round Comfort: When you opt for a ductless system, you won’t have to rely on space heaters that can be obtrusive and can pose a fire hazard. That’s because many ductless models offer heating as well as cooling. Not only are they the perfect solution for the summer months; they can also keep your space cozy in cooler weather, too.

Overall, ductless systems offer a blend of efficiency, comfort, and convenience, making them a popular choice for homeowners seeking to cool or heat a space in their home.
