Why Install a Ductless Air Conditioner in Toronto?
There are several reasons to install a ductless air conditioner. These include:
-
- Adding air conditioning to a house with no existing ductwork
- Adding a home addition with its own cooling needs
- Looking for high-efficiency cooling options
- Supplementing an existing system to handle specific cooling issues
Benefits of Ductless Air Conditioning Systems
There are many benefits to purchasing a ductless system instead of installing air condition systems requiring ducts or mounting inside your windows.
One significant benefit over central air conditioning is that ductless systems allow individual cooling preferences on a per-room basis. Every room with an indoor unit installed can be set to a separate temperature because it does not tie to a central thermostat.
Ductless air conditioners are also much quieter because the outdoor unit performs the air conditioner’s main operation. There are also no ducts, added vents, or other fans to create noise. They are significantly quieter than window units that emit a constant drone as they operate in your home.
Because there is no ductwork needed, ductless mini-split systems are quick to install, most needing only a day for a professional installation company like Tempasure. A unit is placed outside your home and connected to several indoor units with only a few small holes drilled into the side of your home.
Because each indoor unit in a ductless system operates independently—you can turn each on or off as needed. Along with the ductless air conditioner’s high-efficiency operation, the ability to control operation on a room-by-room basis means you are in direct control of your energy savings.
Disadvantages of Ductless Air Conditioner Installation
Of course, there are compromises to make when installing a ductless system. While there are undoubtedly significant benefits to installing ductless air conditioners, there are also a few things you need to take into account when deciding to do so.
First, while the outdoor unit is tucked away from sight, the indoor units are not the prettiest, coming in white or beige without much customization to their design. Whereas a central air conditioning system’s vents are flush with your walls or ceilings, a ductless system’s indoor units protrude from your wall.
Ductless air conditioners also require routine maintenance, including washing or replacing the air filter every month or more if you smoke or have pets. They tend to clog with debris easily, drastically reducing their ability to cool. Without proper care, your ductless air conditioner will have a short life span, often needing pricy repairs.
Finally, while a ductless system is energy-efficient, the upfront costs are significantly higher than installing window units or traditional central air. The outdoor unit can cost several thousand dollars, while each indoor unit costs several hundred apiece. Remember, however, that you do not have to pay for ducts and duct installation, saving you some money there.
Affordable Monthly Payment Options!
Ductless mini-split air conditioners work like central air but without all the ductwork. This performance is possible through the use of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, as follows:
- The indoor unit takes warm air from inside your home and passes it over cold evaporator coils. These absorb the heat from the air and pass it to the outdoor unit.
- The outdoor unit takes all the heat delivered via the refrigerant and disperses it outside your home.
Because each indoor unit cools separately from the others, it is easy to set up zones inside your home to cool only the areas required at any given time, saving you money in cooling costs as you set a custom temperature from room to room.
With a SEER (seasonal energy efficiency rating) rating of at least 13, you can be sure that your new ductless mini-split is energy-efficient, keeping your monthly energy bills down compared with more inefficient systems, such as window units. Some newer units even have SEER ratings as high as 24.5.
Ductless Air Conditioning Installation
Ductless mini-split systems are essentially heat pumps, and many systems can both heat and cool your home. Instead of ductwork, each indoor unit has a few small, drilled holes behind it to connect to the outdoor unit.
