Traditional central heating and air conditioning systems waste a lot of energy trying to cool or heat an entire home at once, especially when you think about how much of the home is vacant at any given time. Ductless HVAC systems offer a more efficient approach to keep you and your family comfortable and help you save on your utility bill each month in the process.

A Guide to Saving Money With Ductless HVAC Systems

They Use Less Energy

Up to 30% of air is lost through gaps in ductwork, thermal heat loss, and improper installation. Since a ductless HVAC system does not rely on ducts, it is not susceptible to any of these issues and can cool and heat rooms at a much higher efficiency rate. A ductless system also provides exact temperature control 100% of the time. This means it does not shut on and off frequently like a traditional system, causing expensive energy spikes.

They Offer Direct Cooling

A ductless HVAC system allows you to divide your home into zones. In most instances, a single exterior unit can connect up to eight different interior units. Each of these zones can be controlled independently, which means you can set the temperature where you are in the home to a completely different setting compared to someone in another part of the residence. This allows everyone to stay comfortable, and it prevents wasted energy in areas where no one is present.

They Have Earned Energy Star® Eligibility

The majority of ductless HVAC systems have been given the Energy Star approval. In many states, this means these units are eligible for tax or local utility discounts. Many Energy Star models also offer special rebates—not to mention that updating an older cooling and heating system with an Energy Star unit can reduce your utility costs up to 30%.
