Mounted on walls or ceilings, ductless AC systems channel refrigerant via discreet lines. Each indoor air handler has an individual thermostat to control operation and comfort, making targeted cooling possible. Here’s what you should know about the benefits of this option to determine whether it’s right for your needs.

What Are the Advantages of Ductless AC Systems?

1. Selective Cooling

Each indoor unit of a ductless system has its own temperature control. Occupants in different spaces can alter settings to suit their preferences.

For example, you can cool occupied bedrooms at night since the ideal temperature for sleep is between 60 and 67 degrees. If a family member prefers to sleep without covers, they can set the temperature in their room higher than that.

2. Energy Efficiency

Ducts that leak can add to your utility bills. Since they don’t lose air through ductwork, ductless AC systems cost less to operate and reduce energy consumption.

Since these systems allow you to climate-control only specific zones within a home, you also don’t have to spend money cooling rooms you don’t use.

3. Cleaner Air

Indoor air quality is often poorer than the air outside because ducts are repositories for dirt, dust, mold spores, pollen, and smoke. If they’re not cleaned annually, they pollute the air.

Many homeowners choose ductless systems because they don’t accumulate particles that trigger allergies or wheezing and sneezing in family members with respiratory problems.

4. Simple Installation

A renovation that involves duct installation can be expensive and time-consuming.

Since ductless systems use small refrigerant lines instead of large ducts, they’re easier and more affordable to fit into home additions. If you’re replacing window AC units, they’re also more cost-effective to install.
