You may have heard about ductless heating and cooling systems, but do you know about their advantages?
A Flexible Solution
The most common HVAC systems are central air conditioners and heat pumps that use ducts to deliver conditioned air throughout a building.
Ductless systems are more flexible than traditional systems, because ductless systems don’t use ductwork. All that’s needed is a small outdoor unit and one or more indoor units, along with access to electricity and a place to mount the units. Ductless systems can be installed in either new or existing construction.
More Affordable
Traditional heating and cooling units can run inefficiently for a number of reasons, costing you money in lost energy. The actual units are larger than a ductless system, also costing you more money overall, because they naturally consume more power. Also, conditioned air can be lost through gaps in the ductwork before it ever reaches its intended destination, illustrating yet another example of lost energy for which you also pay.
Ductless systems are smaller than traditional HVAC systems, which means they use less power. In addition, the temperature-controlled air of a ductless system is delivered directly into a room instead of throughout an entire building. This means that you don’t heat or cool rooms that aren’t occupied. Translation: less needed power, less money spent.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Did you know your indoor air quality is typically lower than that of outdoor air? Ductwork collects dust, allergens, bacteria, as well as many other contaminants. Traditional forced air systems blow air directly through these contaminants and consequently throughout your house.
Ductless systems offer multi-stage filtration that greatly reduces this type of air contamination and creates a healthier indoor environment.
Easy to Install
Ducted systems can take several weeks to install. They interrupt daily life in the home and can take up valuable real estate due to their size.
Conversely, ductless systems can be installed in as little as a day, depending on the number of units required. The pipes required for the systems only dictate a three-inch hole that makes them easier to integrate into a building.
“Fast Friendly and on time will definitely do business with them again”
“A couple of months into our project home on the Lake, the wife started having respiratory issues as did myself a week or so later. Even though cedar season was just around the corner we both believed that there was something not right with the house. We eventually found the air conditioning system appeared as if it had been run without filtration for some time. The intake duct was layered with dust and dirt from the filter housing all the way up into the air handler in the attic. We made a quick decision that this was not something we wanted to tackle ourselves and enlisted the help of the folks at All About Air. A technician was sent out in a couple of days to do a complete inspection on our A/C system and the duct work. Chris, our technician, verified that both the compressor and air handling units were in good working order and appeared to have recently been cleaned. He then showed us video of the inside of the duct work and as we suspected the duct work was full of what looked like years of dust and grime. Being a circa 1985 home we decided to replace all of the ducting rather than attempt to have it cleaned. So long story short, the guys at AAA designed and installed a system that is not only much more efficient and cost effective than the original … The wife and I no longer have breathing issues in our old/new home !!!
Big Thanks to Brian, Brandon, Amber and all the guys at All About Air !!!”
“My experience with All About Air was absolutely satisfying. The work they did at my house was thorough and well done. Brian and David had to change the whole unit after trying to repair the damage on the air duct and the heat pump. They worked all day long, up to almost 9 PM on a Friday. I appreciate Brian´s honesty and consideration as well as his
expertise. Thanks to the whole team of All About Air!”
