While a central AC blows air to the entire house, a ductless system only cools one room at a time. Generally, the latter will have two units—one inside and another outdoors—that are connected via electrical wiring and copper tubing. Ductless air conditioners are becoming more and more popular. Here’s why. 

Why Install a Ductless Cooling System?   

1. Adaptable & Adjustable

The installation process for ductwork is complex and can be costly. Ductless systems, on the other hand, are easy to put in. Additionally, you can install a multi-zone system so that each room has its own air conditioner unit. As a result, you can control the temperature in each area of your home separately, which is crucial if you prefer a bedroom to be cooler than your home office, for example. 

2. Efficient 

Traditional central HVAC systems are associated with many inefficiencies, as the ducts may have gaps and weaknesses that lead to heating or cooling losses. In addition to avoiding these energy suckers, ductless systems are smaller and have more advanced zoning abilities, saving you money on your utility bills and lowering your carbon footprint. 

3. Easy to Maintain

Ductless systems are low-maintenance and only require a few tasks that should be done regularly. For example, you’ll need to inspect the outdoor unit, including the coil and condenser, for debris. If it’s dirty, use a garden hose to clean it, then remove any remaining dirt by hand, making sure to dry the system when you’re done. Finally, take the filters out of the indoor unit at least once every six weeks, and wipe off any debris using a dry cloth. Removing the dust will prevent it from circulating, protecting your indoor air quality.
