A ductless system, also known as a mini split, can add comfort to areas of your Kentucky home where ductwork cannot reach.
The Benefits of a Ductless System
Ductless air conditioning systems can be the perfect answer for that room that’s never quite cool enough, or for that new addition you’re building. The ductless system works, obviously, with no ducts, as a traditional AC unit uses to carry air to vents. Instead, this system has an outdoor compressor unit located against the building. This makes it highly adaptable to many rooms and needs.
Versatile
The inside unit is typically mounted on a wall of the room where the cooling is needed. A small hole is cut to the outside where the lines providing electricity, drainage, and refrigerant can come from the outdoor unit.
Supplemental Heat
The ductless AC only provides the air conditioning, so a heater is still needed. You could still use your traditional furnace with ducts, or you could install a ductless unit that’s a combination AC and heater (adding a heat pump). This is the best option for a room that’s never quite cool or warm enough, no matter much you change the thermostat.
Zone Cooling
Many homes are adding “zones” throughout the entire house. If you have these multiple zones in your home, you can control the temperature on a per-room basis.
Low Maintenance
While ductless AC systems require little maintenance, the installation definitely requires a professional. The certified technicians at Comfort Design have the expertise required and would be happy to answer any questions that you have.
Heath Benefits
You can also talk to Comfort Design about the health benefits to installing a ductless AC. Without needing ductwork, the health concerns about what could be growing or blowing through your home via the ducts is eliminated.
