Is your living space small? Are you seeking an efficient and easier method to cool your home in Mississauga, Ontario? In that case, a ductless air conditioning system could be ideal for you. Ductless systems, aka ductless mini-split systems, are quieter, more compact, and easy to use. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of ductless air conditioning in Mississauga, Ontario.
Speedy Installation
Installing traditional HVAC systems is a lengthy and complex process when you require new ductwork. It is much faster to install a ductless air conditioner. For smaller homes with only 2 to 3 bedrooms, technicians can complete this type of job within a day.
A ductless air conditioner is also the ideal option when adding an extension to your house. They usually cost less when compared to extending your ductwork for your central HVAC system to accommodate your new addition.
Provides Customized Comfort
If you have family members that prefer different temperatures, a ductless air conditioner can solve this problem. When installing units in various house areas, you can achieve zoned control when it comes to temperature. Zoned control means that each person can set the temperature in a room that they occupy, thereby keeping each family member comfortable and happy.
Increased Energy Efficiency
Here are the reasons why a ductless air condition system is more energy-efficient:
You don’t have to use units in the rooms you are not using rather than having to cool your entire home. When you only cool rooms you are using, this will help you to reduce your energy bills.
Traditional HVAC systems are known for developing leaks when it comes to ductwork which can lower the unit’s efficiency. You can avoid this problem when you choose a ductless air conditioner.
Many air conditioning systems use either two-speed or one-speed compressors that will cycle off and on to keep the home at a programmed temperature. Although they use a lot more electricity, a ductless air conditioner uses a variable speed compressor that adjusts continuously to maintain a consistent temperature. Since these systems do not switch off and on, they are more energy-efficient.
Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
If you or one of your family members suffer from asthma or allergies, ductless air conditioners are the best option to improve air quality throughout your home. Unlike the traditional HVAC systems, the ductless air conditioner doesn’t include ductwork which allows debris, dust, and dirt to accumulate. Instead, it uses multi-layer filtration, which reduces the allergens, dust, and pollutants that enter the house, keeping it healthy and cleaner. These systems are also better when it comes to dehumidifying the surrounding environment.
Save More Space
The ductless air conditioners are compact, while the central HVAC systems are complex and bulky, and the window units are intrusive and unsightly. The central HVAC systems also take up a lot of space in an attic or basement, and they also require a lot of ductwork.
The ductless systems include a heat pump or outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air handler. A single outdoor unit easily connects to 4 indoor air handlers, situated on a wall in every room. If you prefer a more discreet option, choose a ceiling cassette installation rather than wall units.
Requires Minimal Maintenance
To ensure your ductless air conditioning system operates at peak capacity, you must regularly replace or clean the filters. In addition, ensure that the wall unit vents and the area around your outdoor unit should are unobstructed. With these systems, you can forget about the hassles of sealing a duct leak or cleaning the ductwork like you would with a traditional HVAC system.
It is still advisable to schedule an annual inspection with an HVAC contractor to identify any issues, conduct any necessary repairs, and perform thorough checks of your system. An adequately maintained ductless air conditioning system should last for up to two decades.
A central air conditioning system is usually a better option for larger homes. But when your home is under 2,000 square feet, ductless systems are generally the best option.
