Ductless air conditioning systems are also called ductless mini splits by HVAC experts. No matter what you want to call them, ductless cooling options are increasingly popular as homeowners are upgrading their systems. If an air conditioning system has your interest, you may wonder if it\u2019s time for you to make the upgrade, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re highlighting the top five reasons it may be time to upgrade to a ductless air conditioning system. Learn more about ductless mini-split systems<\/a> and how they can benefit your home.

1. Optimize Living Space with Compact Cooling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most homeowners are particularly drawn to ductless systems since they don\u2019t use ductwork. In place of a network of ducts that connect to a single, large AC unit, a ductless air conditioner has smaller individual units in a room or zone. Removing all of your ductwork during a ductless installation means that you win back all of that space. You can use it for storage or anything else you can think of. This is especially beneficial if you have an older home that wasn\u2019t designed for central air conditioning and is already short on space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cut Energy Bills with Ductless AC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you tired of seeing high energy bills every month? Or maybe your energy bills are going up without ceasing. Either way, a ductless air conditioning system can help. You get better efficiency in two ways. First, because the ductless system itself is more efficient to operate. Second, because you won\u2019t lose conditioned air through inefficiencies in your duct system. The cooled air from a ductless air conditioner blows directly into each room. For more ways to reduce costs, consider our springtime tips for running your heat pump efficiently<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Enjoy Zoned Comfort with Ductless Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you live with someone else who prefers different temperature settings, then a ductless system is for you. We hear it all the time–one person likes the home warmer while the other person likes the temperatures to be cooler. You either compromise or one person is uncomfortable. With a ductless air conditioner, you no longer have to compromise. Each room can be its own temperature. Just keep the doors closed to help maintain those individual temperatures and everyone can be happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Remodeling? Ductless AC is Ideal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are thinking about adding to your home in the near future, a ductless system is a smart investment. If your home grows significantly in size, you may have to replace your entire HVAC system. But with a ductless air conditioner, you can just add an extra handler to your new room or rooms. You don\u2019t have to reposition ductwork or overhaul the entire system. Explore the differences between ductless and traditional HVAC systems<\/a> to make the best choice for your remodel. This is one reason that many commercial business owners choose ductless air conditioners, but the same benefit can make a difference in your home, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Improve Indoor Air with Ductless Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your central air conditioner inevitably takes on some dust and dirt as the years pass. The ductwork becomes an endpoint for dust and other small particles like bacteria and viruses that then recirculate again and again. You won\u2019t have this same problem with a ductless air conditioner.  If you\u2019re concerned about allergens and indoor air, a ductless system may be ideal.
