Added Advantages of Ductless Heating And Cooling Systems

Without an air conditioning system, no living or working place is complete these days. These systems can be found in various sizes and designs, ranging from small window units for a single room to big industrial companies for big halls.

The Ductless Cooling system, as the name suggests, operates without the use of ductwork. These systems include two parts: an exterior compressor and an indoor evaporator. The latter is responsible for bringing cool, conditioned air into the living room, while the former is responsible for expelling the absorbed heat outside.

If you’re shifting to ductless heating and cooling systems in Ottawa, then you must know all the benefits that come with it.

  1. Less Operating expenses

Within ducted systems, ducts are the most common source of air leakage. Tears, gaps, incorrect installation, and ruptures, among other things, all lead to conditioned air seeping out and wasting energy; this is absent in ductless systems. Therefore you conserve 30% of energy costs and save money.

  1. Easy installation

Due to the lack of ducts, ductless air conditioners may be installed in a fraction of the time that ducted air conditioners can. Furthermore, installation work is minimal, so that installation costs are kept to a minimum. Again, a ductless air conditioner does not necessitate extensive structural adjustments to install the cooling/heating unit.

  1. Greater efficiency

When looking for a system for ductless heating and cooling in Ottawa, you may have come across the terms SEER and EER. These ratings directly equate to how much energy your air conditioner can save. A higher SEER indicates a more energy-efficient air conditioner.

On average, ductless HVAC systems have a higher SEER rating than their ducted counterparts, with some systems reaching as high as 30.

  1. Better indoor air quality

The air you breathe is critical to your overall health, and any degradation will directly affect your body. Because ducts can be a source of mould, dust, and insects that contaminate the air, ducted systems pose a hazard to your health. Filtration options are abundant with ductless cooling and heating systems. Filters of the highest quality can filter out 99.97% of all airborne particles with a diameter of 0.3 microns or more significant. Even a ductless AC's conventional in-built filter can effectively block out dust and pollutants to a large extent.

  1. Minimal maintenance

When compared to ducted air conditioners, ductless air conditioners require minimal maintenance. Only the filters need to be cleaned and scrubbed regularly, and outdoor unit fans and indoor vents need to be clear of any shrubs or obstructions.

Apart from these, ductless units require no extensive care, thus saving your time and contractor costs.

To summarise, when compared to ducted air conditioners, ductless heating and cooling offer unrivalled flexibility and energy savings. Ductless air conditioners should be your first choice if you buy air conditioners for a new home or upgrade an old one.
