A growing number of homeowners are moving away from traditional central heating and air conditioning systems and choosing ductless ones instead. Research shows that the industry is growing at unprecedented rates, as much as 8% per year, with no signs of slowing down. Ductless systems offer many benefits over traditional systems that all homeowners should consider when thinking about upgrading their home heating and cooling.

Why You Should Consider a Ductless Heating & Cooling System

1. Reduced Costs 

Heating and cooling are responsible for a significant portion of home utility bills. In some cases, as much as half of the monthly charge is due to heating and cooling.

Ductless systems are more efficient than traditional HVAC options because they allow you to direct warm or cold air to a single room rather than the whole house. This means less wasted energy and lower bills.

2. Cleaner Air

Ductless heating and cooling systems help reduce the number of allergens in the air, including dust, pet dander, and other contaminants. They have stronger filters in general and are easier to keep clean than traditional ones. This improves the air quality in your home, reducing the chance of respiratory issues for you and your family. 

3. Easy Installation

In most cases, ductless heating and cooling systems can be installed in a single day. The process is fairly simple and only requires the technician to work with outside walls.

This type of installation also means that repairs are easier. With traditional systems, a problem with the ductwork can sometimes mean cutting into or removing walls, increasing costs and inconvenience. 

4. Increased Comfort 

Ductless systems are virtually silent. It’s unlikely you’ll hear the compressor turning on and off throughout the day because those parts are located outside your home.

You might not even realize that the unit is running. And because each room is controlled individually, your family can customize temperatures to their preference. 

5. Environmentally Friendly

The fact that ductless heating units are more energy-efficient than traditional systems makes them an environmentally friendly option. Most units are Energy Star® certified, so switching to one of these systems can help reduce your carbon footprint.
