Renovations are an expensive undertaking. One of the most pricey parts of finishing a basement or attic — or just updating an older home that doesn’t have central heating and air — comes from the need to install up-to-code ductwork. If you’re in the Monroe area of New York, talk to WK Mechanical about your remodeling plans and see if a ductless heating and cooling system is right for you.

Ducts are old fashioned. Why renovate with 20th-century technology in 2017? A ductless heating and cooling system can save thousands of dollars, from the easy installation to their energy-efficient design.

A Mitsubishi Electric® system is a compact, self-contained unit that goes right into the wall. No duct installation is needed, saving time, money, labor costs, and space. They’re also whisper quiet — there’s no cycling on and off in the middle of the night and waking a light sleeper.

A traditional, duct-based system cools the entire house at once based on a single temperature reading on the thermostat. That’s not energy-efficient — after all, is it as hot in the basement as it is on the second floor? Using a multi-zone cooling or heating system means the rooms are heated or cooled independently of each other. That means the air conditioning won’t kick on in the basement just because someone left the window open on the first floor.

For the environmentally conscious renovator, choosing a ductless HVAC system can mean earning your home a high ENERGY STAR® rating. That doesn’t just equal savings on a day-to-day basis when operating the unit, but it also makes you eligible for rebates when tax season comes around.
