When you're shopping for an air conditioner, there are a lot of factors that go into the choice you make. Cost, power, and ease of installation are all important considerations. Another factor to keep in mind is the amount of noise the HVAC system makes. For instance, Mitsubishi Electric® ductless AC units are known for their "whisper quiet" operation, which comes in handy when you're studying, having a quiet conversation with friends, or even trying to sleep. In the following sections, Arctic Mechanical Heating & Cooling in Port Chester, NY, discusses how and why ductless heating and cooling systems can run so quietly.

Why Ductless AC Systems Are Quieter Than Traditional HVAC Systems

Ducts Are Noisy

Traditional systems utilize a system of air ducts, which amplify any noise and carry it through the home. They act like a series of megaphones channeling sound right into the room that you're in. Ductless systems cool the air right in the room, so they require no ducts. Moreover, they utilize no noisy fans to push air through the house, as traditional wall or window units do.

Ductless AC Is Designed to Be Quiet

Mitsubishi Electric dedicated a great deal of time and effort to designing the quietest system possible. For instance, they added considerable insulation to the compressor compartment and installed vibration dampeners to prevent buzzing. They also made sure that all components work together in balance, so the product operates in near silence.

No Cycling Noises

With traditional systems, much of the noise arises when the air conditioner cycles on or off. You can hear clunking and clanking sounds, as well as the noise of motors whirring up to speed. With a Mitsubishi Electric ductless AC system, you get none of that. In fact, the indoor unit operates at 19dB(A), which is literally quieter than a person whispering.
