Although an open-concept home offers limitless design choices, efficiency becomes a greater challenge. You’ll have a larger area to cool in the summer, and that can become an issue when you’re using a traditional air conditioner. This is one of the best situations for a ductless AC. Learn why going ductless will ensure summer comfort.
Easily Adapt to Irregular Architectural Designs
While there are countless benefits of open floor plans, many homes have rooms with irregular shapes. An embedded nook might look attractive, but it can pose problems when it comes to cooling the room.
A ductless air conditioning solves this problem. You can position the air handler of a ductless AC to cool a wider area, or you can install extra air handlers in nooks and room indentations.
Can You Install More Than One Mini Split Air Handler?
When choosing a ductless HVAC company, make sure they have experience with mini split systems.
Your HVAC technician can install a ductless AC system that includes up to six air handlers. All six of those indoor units can connect to one outdoor compressor to keep the system design compact and convenient. If you need additional air handlers, your technician can install a second compressor.
Eliminate the Energy Waste That’s Common When Using Ducts
When using a traditional air conditioner, you’ll need ductwork that clutters the appearance of your open-concept design. In addition to affecting the aesthetics of the space, ducts might have air leaks. The leaks displace cooled air with untreated air before reaching your living spaces.
In addition, duct travel causes cool air to warm before it reaches your rooms. A ductless AC delivers treated air instantly into your living spaces. More direct cooling will enhance energy efficiency and comfort.
Should You Remove Ductwork When Installing a Ductless System?
Typically, homeowners opt to keep existing ductwork in place and close it off after their ductless AC installation, as removing ductwork can be an expensive choice.
This is especially true when homeowners are using ductless mini splits in key areas to support heating and cooling, rather than replacing their entire HVAC system with ductless mini splits throughout the home.
Access the Air Handlers for Stricter Control
When using a central AC system, making adjustments to the indoor climate involves modifying the thermostat’s settings. This can feel like an inconvenience if you’re relaxing, preparing dinner, or engaged in an activity in another room.
When you use ductless mini splits, you won’t need the same type of direct access. Instead, you’ll have a remote for each air handler in your home. You can modify the climate from wherever you are without having to manually adjust the thermostat.
