Is Ductless AC Right for Me?

If you are considering installing a new air conditioner in your Rolesville, NC home, ductless mini-split units offer many benefits. As the name suggests, ductless AC systems deliver conditioned air without ducts. A compressor located outside connects to blower cassettes positioned inside. Tubing carrying refrigerant and wiring is routed through a three-inch hole in the wall and connects the two components.

Mini-split heat pumps provide both heating and cooling by flipping a switch that reverses the flow of refrigerant. In the winter, heat is captured from the outside air and moved inside. In the summer, heat is captured from the living space and moved outside. Mini-split ACs provide precise temperature and humidity control for individual rooms.

Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling in Rolesville, NC

Ductless mini-split heat pumps are known for their energy efficiency in both heating and cooling modes. Cooling costs are reduced by 30 percent compared to room air conditioners. Mini-splits use half the energy of standard electric heating systems. Each room has its own temperature controls. When a room is not in use, the unit can be turned off. The result is lower utility bills, which saves you money.

Easy Installation

Ductless ACs can be installed in a few hours with minimal disturbance. They are suitable for homes and businesses that do not have ducts. They can also be used to augment heating and cooling with a ducted system in spaces that are hard to heat, such as basements and add-ons. Depending on the manufacturer and model, up to eight cassettes can be connected to one compressor.

Improved Indoor Air Quality for Your Rolesville, NC Home

Because there are no ducts, air is not circulated between rooms. Each cassette contains a filter that captures airborne particulates. Simply clean the filter according to the manufacturer’s directions to keep air clean.
