WHAT IS A DUCTLESS HVAC SYSTEM?

Most homeowners are familiar with traditional HVAC systems with ducts, and you might not even know that ductless systems are an option. Or maybe you’re well aware of ductless systems because you have a townhome, cabin, or other limited living space where ductwork can’t be installed. Leave it to the experts at Furnace Doctors to explain the various heating and cooling systems and help you choose the right installation for your home!

Ductless systems go by several names, including mini splits and heat pumps. These are all the same thing; A ductless system is a heat pump.

It’s also called a mini-split because it is made up of two parts, one (or more) for handling indoor air and the other that acts as the outdoor compressor. The indoor unit(s) are connected to the outdoor compressor via electrical and refrigerant lines. The indoor unit(s) is usually wall-mounted, delivering heated or cooled air directly into the living space – no ductwork required!

Single Zone vs. Whole Home

Ductless systems can be used for heating and cooling a single zone in your home or whole-house heating and cooling. It’s the smartest way to heat and cool any space!

A single-zone system is designed to provide heating and cooling to one specific area, such as an attic, basement, garage, sunroom, or new home addition. Once you set your desired temperature, the system will quietly maintain it while using the least amount of energy needed.

A multi-zone system combines one outdoor unit with multiple indoor units to provide comfort for your entire home. Each unit can be controlled independently, giving you the option to not cool and heat unused rooms for additional energy savings.

WHY CONSIDER A DUCTLESS SYSTEM FOR YOUR HOME?

For some homes, ductwork isn’t an option, making a heat pump (aka mini-split or ductless) ideal for any living environment with space demands, such as a townhome, row house, log cabin, or tiny home.

Even if you already have ductwork and a traditional HVAC system, you might consider adding a ductless system to enhance your comfort and indoor air quality. A good example is when you build an addition to your home and don’t want to add more ductwork to heat and cool that room.

But perhaps the biggest advantage is energy savings because ductless systems only use the exact amount of energy required. You might compare it to a car’s cruise control; The system continuously monitors the zone for changes in temperature and varies the compressor speed, which reduces power consumption for energy savings.

Conventional systems start and stop repetitively, wasting energy. Ductless is up to 40% more efficient than traditional systems, which will help reduce your monthly utility bills.
