Energy efficiency has become a priority for many homeowners, and not simply because of their concerns for the environment. Installing energy efficient appliances such as ductless heating and cooling systems can save a home at least 10% on utility bills each year. With more than 60 years of experience in cooling and heating system services in Jericho, NY, the technicians at Gold Coast Home Comfort encourage anyone looking for a cost-saving solution to heating and cooling to consider a ductless system.

3 Reasons a Ductless Heating & Cooling System Is Cost-Effective

1. No Ductwork Means No Costly Leaks

Traditional HVAC systems, like central heat and air, require ductwork to operate. However, those setups are at greater risk of air leaks, which are an energy drain on the system and result in higher utility costs.

2. You Don’t Waste Energy

Ductless systems allow you to heat and cool only the rooms you use, so you’re not wasting energy. With multi-zone cooling and heating technology, each room in use gets a wall-mounted unit, which can be set to specific temperatures. This precise control means your system only runs when it needs to.

3. Your System Lasts Longer

Traditional HVAC systems rely on a single speed compressor that only operates at full speed, causing the entire system to work at full capacity until the set temperature is reached. Ductless systems use variable-speed inverter compressor technology that modulates automatically, so it isn’t constantly running at maximum capacity. In short, it only draws energy when it’s needed, so the system is never strained or overworked. This means it will last longer with fewer repairs, saving you in maintenance costs as well.
