The ductless cooling and heating system isn\u2019t necessarily \u201cnew.\u201d This type of heat pump has been popular for years in Europe and Japan, where homes and buildings usually lack the space to put in ducts. It\u2019s simple to outfit a few rooms with a ductless system, allowing for a distribution of heating and air conditioning that would otherwise be impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today in the U.S., ductless systems are making a bigger impact on home comfort. People are finding out more about the terrific benefits of going ductless. But you want to know if ductless makes sense for you? It might! Let\u2019s take a look at when <\/span>ductless HVAC makes sense<\/span><\/a> for a new HVAC system installation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

New Home Construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are planning to build a new home, we recommend giving serious consideration to a ductless mini split to handle the new house\u2019s indoor comfort. You can eliminate space-eating ducts, and you\u2019ll enjoy better energy efficiency. Rather than sticking with routing ducts through the attic, where they\u2019ll pick up and lose heat around the year, you can have cooling and heating delivered from wall units that send the conditioned air straight into the space\u2014a much more energy-efficient method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remodeling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re not building a new home, but you\u2019re giving your current one a major face lift. Ductless mini splits can be a great boon in this situation as well. You won\u2019t have to plan around redesigning all the ducts to take account of the changes, and you\u2019ll have greater construction flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add-On Rooms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A ductless mini split heat pump doesn\u2019t have to replace your entire HVAC system. You can have one put in to cool and heat an extra bedroom or study it\u2019s much better than a window unit. This prevents you from having to put in an entirely new HVAC system and expand the ducts in order to accommodate the new space. You can also have a ductless system put in for rooms that are hard to heat or cool, such as a garage that\u2019s been transformed into a workspace. If the room still feels uncomfortable, check for<\/span> common AC airflow issues<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dealing with allergies and asthma<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ductless systems are often recommended for homes where people suffer from allergies and asthma. Ductwork collects a large amount of dust, dander, and lint, so when the blower fan comes on, a large amount of air pollution gets blasted out into the space. But when there aren\u2019t any ducts, there\u2019s much less air contamination circulating and that\u2019s better for people who have respiratory issues. They\u2019re also easier to maintain and can<\/span> reduce the need for AC repairs<\/span><\/a> caused by poor airflow or clogged filters.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
