Ductless heating and cooling units are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners. Aside from their efficiency, one of their main selling points is their lack of noise. They're much quieter than traditional HVAC systems, and some brands like Mitsubishi Electric™ virtually eliminate all noise. To explain why ductless systems are able to reduce their sounds so drastically, the HVAC service specialists at Carefree Air Conditioning & Heating in New York, NY, break down the modern system's advanced features.

One of the main reasons that ductless heating and cooling systems are able to significantly reduce noise is they eliminate the main noise-causing culprit of traditional units—ducts. Ductless units heat and cool specific areas of the home in which they're installed, so there's no need for fans and motors to push the air throughout the duct system. Removing ducts from the equation nearly eliminates all the noise.

Ductless heating and cooling units also reduce the on and off sounds throughout the day. Traditional central AC units are two-part systems, with a system outside of the home as well as one on the inside. From there, it also connects to the ducts that make their way around your home. Once they turn on, you'd have two sources of noise that would then echo through the ductwork of your entire home. A ductless system only cools one section of your home, so it uses less power which results in less mechanical on-off noise.  

Brands like Mitsubishi Electric design their HVAC units specifically with noise in mind. For instance, the Mitsubishi AC ductless unit is insulated to keep the sound of moving parts contained within the system. They also use specially-crafted material to reduce vibration, which is another noise-causing culprit with traditional HVAC units.
