Ductless Systems
Ductless systems, also known as ductless heat pumps or mini splits, are becoming the heating and cooling choice for many Canonsburg area homeowners. With the versatility and high efficiency they provide, it’s not very hard to see why people are switching.
At Valley Heating & Air Conditioning, our professionals install, replace, repair, and maintain more of these innovative heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems than ever.
How Is a Ductless System Different?
The most obvious difference with ductless heat pumps is their lack of ductwork—they are entirely ductless. This is the factor giving them an edge in many areas over more traditional ducted heating and cooling units like furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners (AC). Given its small size and few components, you can understand why a ductless system is so flexible.
Ductless systems consist of three main components—the outdoor unit, the indoor unit, and a small conduit connecting the two units. If you want more than one indoor air handler in your home, you will still only need the one outdoor unit. We typically work with up to eight indoor units to one outdoor condenser.
When Would You Want a Ductless System?
A mini split would be an excellent option if you have a room or area in your Canonsburg home, say a garage, finished basement, addition, or even a room with uneven temperatures, where you want heating and cooling.
To achieve the ultimate in precise comfort, ask for a zone control system. Our team can create a unique configuration with several units to suit your home’s needs, all controlled via remote control.
What Are the Benefits of Going With Ductless Heating and Cooling?
Here are some of the reasons we recommend ductless heating and cooling systems:
- Dual-function heating and cooling. Like any heat pump, a ductless mini split can work as both an energy-efficient heating system and a powerful cooling system.
- Reduced energy use. This versatile system saves money and energy since, as a heat pump, it does not actually create hot or cold air. It merely transfers heat from outdoors to indoors during cold weather and sends your indoor hot air outside when outdoor temperatures rise.
- Flexibility. Ductless mini splits give older homes the opportunity to enjoy centralized comfort without having to find a way to construct ducts where there is no room. This also makes them great for new building projects.
- Better indoor air quality. Your indoor air quality (IAQ) will increase without ductwork. Air ducts collect dander, dust, mold, and more. Without ducts, you avoid circulating the many pollutants and allergens throughout your Pennsylvania home.
