Ductless Mini-Split AC Systems in Volusia and Flagler County
Ductless mini-splits AC systems have been around a long time, but they are a relatively new option to homeowners for ac repair Flagler beach FL & Volusia County. So what is a ductless mini-split system? It’s an air conditioner and heater that heats and cools in an outside unit and then uses an interior mounted blower to distribute warm or cool air into the room. It functions in exactly the same way as a traditional split system except that because it uses a blower mounted in the room, it doesn’t require ducts. So it’s exactly what the name says: a ductless AC unit.
The benefits of installing a ductless AC system
Ductless air conditioner installation is very cost-effective to install because they do not require that large holes be cut in the walls, ceiling, or floor to install ductwork. They’re also perfect for rooms without a crawlspace or drop ceiling because they can cool a room with nothing more than a 2” diameter line running to an exterior unit. This makes them perfect for adding air conditioning and heating to an addition where the existing HVAC system can’t handle the load of the additional square footage. They’re also perfect if you are enclosing a porch or converting a garage. Often those applications will make it difficult or prohibitively expensive to run ductwork. A mini-split system can often be installed at a fraction of the cost of a traditional system in these instances.
Because the largest inefficiency in a traditional HVAC system is leaky ductwork, these systems are inherently more efficient by eliminating ducts altogether. Beyond that, ductless mini-split systems often have a higher SEER rating than traditional systems, making them even more cost-effective. Other benefits are that the systems are quiet and can be operated by remote control or wall-mounted thermostat (or both). It is also possible to install multiple interior units using only a single exterior unit.
Here’s a list of the benefits of going ductless:
- Cost effective to install
- Great for additions to your home
- Extremely efficient (High SEER ratings)
- Very quiet
- Low profile and attractive interior units
- Can be operated with a remote control or wall mounted thermostat
- Interior units can often be concealed in ceilings and walls if desired
